28th ?

The Auburn judge gave johnson 28th place ?

there are only 6 ..6a schools in hisd last time I cheacked

Let me start by saying I was not able to attend finals but saw all bands in prelims. I really feel they got the top six bands correct and any of the six could of easily went to state with a few diffenrt scores. I do think 7 lakes was judged pretty hard and thought they should of been placed higher but thats just my opinion . Being a brass player , I like a " Power" show more than a concert band on the field show . They were one of three bands that actually pushed me back and say WOW ! Judgeing is very subjective and I dont know how they do it , After about six bands my brain is mush. Looking at the sheets consistency is what you look for and it appears J2 scored every band in the finals 100 points higher than prelims. Where all bands that much better in finals ? I would sugest a diffent judge panel for finals so they can judge with fresh thoughts and no prelim bias. Also the regions really needs to advance some more bands to area so we can qualify 5 or even 6 bands to state.Looks like we are the only area/region that gave out 3's in the whole state and also a bunch of 2's. Watch videos of the other area qualifiers and you will see our disquallified bands are better or as good as any of the lesser bands in other areas. Congrats to all the bands for a very enjoyable year and good luck to all at BOA and State

The judge probably played based clarinet and was hypnoticed by the 10 cycreek players !

I was thinking more like the stan kenton orchestra or maynard ferguson ...NOTJUDY COLLINS...This is a greaat moment in the langham creek show but they need more sound and power to get the full effect.

Very nice review, and agree with most, I have seen taylor, SFa , and morton ranch early season and really liked taylors show over morton ranch.. on that day. I also do not like vocals in a marching band show, do you judge it like an instrument ? I do not get the hype on lanham creek either, They have not beaten anyone this year and seem to be living on past reputation. I have not heard any fans(only students of the band) jumping up and down for them on any forum. I walked away saying... good show but nothing really stood out and placed them at the top. Makeing finals will be a victory for any of the bands this year as there is at least 15 bands that should be considered possible finalist. My pics Seven lakes, CyFalls, Cy Fair, Clements( only because of Extreme Technique across the band ) advance to state. I do think it is time for Area E to do like every other area in the state and advance more bands to area. Are E should have no less than 25 bands and advanve 5 , to state . there is too much talent that is not represented at the state level.

72 %,,, ? region 27 advanced 8 out of 12 or 66,67 % Should of had 2 mores schools advance with Cy lakes and Cy Springs !

Baredex, waiting for the cy falls and langham videos

Cy Falls - Sound , power , great color guard. What is anyone else looking for ?

cy springs - from where I was sitting , you were the FANS favorite show... Nice trombone solo. cy lakes - another great show.. I am relieved ..I had heard only 5 bands got a 1 rateing... glad to here it was not true . I heard jersey village recieved a 2

Cy falls was definitly the best band today... does any one have results from region 27

does anybody have the results ? I herd only 5 6A bands advanced to area ? I did not stick around for the results.... Anybody?

ok So a full day of bands ... To me the best i have seen over all in 6 yrs of attending CY Falls above all best band today. Cy fair still top four Langham creek - How can you go wrong with send in the Clowns. But overall not that impreshed with the show . Deserved the one rateings but will really have to do something different to advance to state. Clear creek ...Shout out to the Bass Trombone player ... Wow good job. A 2 (NOW f**** WAY !) Cy ranch Moves up in my rankings. Now I really feel sorry for the bands that did not advance, Once again our region kills there own and will advance 1 maybe 2 cy fairs schools at best . There was only 2 schools today that should not of gotten a one rateing . IF I HEARD RIGHT 5 out of 12 school advaance to area ? Get a rope !

CF mello , Yes I will be there the Next TWO saturdays at the Berry Center. Start to finish ! Trombone18 , having a quality Honor band provides a corp group of muscians to carry the program . If you look at the consistent year to year Honor band winners, they also have a great marching band programs. In my opiniom , the director(s) have to really want to do and enjoy Marching band for any program to be sucessful. My point about " park and blow " was directed to Baredx, who was crititical of other programs that park and blow. All bands do it. The Langham creek 2012 show was real bad about that. I am old school, and appreciate the skill on the field of todays bands, But I like to hear a marching band sound like a marching band ! If I want to hear An woodwind driven classical piece I will go to the concert hall and listen to it there. Waiting for the marching bands to bring on Violins ! Just kidding. Just give Every band their Participation 1 rating at region and move on to Area. Seems that is what all the other region and areas do . We would qualify 6 great derserving bands to state ! Predictions: in no particuler order. Seven lakes, CY falls, Cy-fair, Clements, Langham creek. Any band could win or take 5th... should be fun !

First thing I said was " of the bands I have Seen "..... I Have not seen there show, and heard they were down after loosing one of there assistants To U of H. I had cy falls above you guys in 2012 (in my opinion) . And as far as marching and playing goes... You have in the past always had a lot of stop and blow time with people featured on props or the big stage. I can also Assume Baredex you are a woodwind player ? Looking at "Honor band" area results for 2015 Clements and Seven Lakes have the edge in music. Region 27 results for honor band ? I look forward to seeing every band this weekend. Best of luck to all.

From the shows i have seen : Seven Lakes, Cy falls, Cy fair Clements Really enjoyed Taylors show but it is more BOA style, was not moved by the morton ranch or SFA shows. I am sure ridge will get a 1 this year at region and hopefully region 23 produces a few more bands and we will get to advane 5 bands from the area.

Ijust don get how some of these bands are judged. Seems like several bands get a higher score from having a good program from year to year instead of just judgeing the performance on the field.. I have seen Langham creeks show 4 times and still do not see the "great" things the judges see. The same goes for spring.. The tents are way to much ! Good luck Area E bands !

Well to be honest , from where I was sitting Morton ranch blew cyfalls and clements away in both the prelims and finals.... But I am not a judge , just a fan in the stands, I really did not see L:angham creek having that good of a show.

Does anybody have the scores yet for prelims and finals for area E . I was really surprised Mortan Ranch Scored so low ? And I felt sorry for austin Going first. the poor baritone soloist pick up his horn and I swear it stuck to his face it was so cold...

I found cyfairs electronics very annoying.. Sounded like feedback and was very hard on the ears. Also for a band that big they sure did not put out much sound

Ok, Just to stir it up ! Finalist . ... Cy fair, Cy woods, Cy- falls, Clements, Morton Ranch,seven lakes, Jersey Village, Langham Creek, austin , Taylor Going to state. Morton Ranch, Cyfair, Cywoods, (CYfalls/ Clements)

I did not get to see all the bands but I did not think Spring scored that high. I had them at 4th (at best) in the 2nd block of performers. The Circus tents were a distraction to me and limlited the ability to march on the field. Leander, clear brook, and college park Performed better in my opinion...I was also surprised Dawson was not at least 10th..
