That crowd should have started their standing ovation at least a full minute earlier.

Cedar Ridge is certainly more likely to make finals than not. Last year was perhaps their best year as a school. They’ve weathered director changes and size differences better than probably any school has—kinda like this decade’s version of 2000s Churchill.

Not from a UIL level, but many school districts make UIL events mandatory—especially the high profile ones. Like I said, this is all on purpose...

You would be correct to be skeptical. It's intentional.

I loved their 2018 show and thought it was dramatically underscored in visual and GE come the end of the season. Hoping whatever they do this fall clicks with the judges.

UIL.

Time to go rewatch it!

Late moves are the name of the game. My sophomore year, an assistant director came in right as we started band camp. He became the marching director by the time I graduated and the program became extremely successful as he transitioned into the head director. Good move for the ~patriotic~ Frisco school that has Bown now.

You’re better off not knowing. Trust me.
