[A message to all Cy-Fair ISD band students who competed in state UIL and BOA SA this past week]

I love the positive comments on your district’s bands but do you have to throw shade at other groups. Come on man

No. I marched with Lumberton from 2015 to 2019. Played Alto Sax.

They actually have 10. Is that big enough? Personally it’s not about quantity but quality

Well yall, looks like Lumberton's streak of having a large abundance of tubas has ended lol. I counted 8 tubas for this year. 
 

and yet they will still have more than most 4a bands. Did you march for LCM?

I know Sulpher Springs came in 1st and Lumberton came in 2nd in prelims. Lumberton preforms at 10:15 

I think North Lamar Sulphur springs and Lumberton all have a good shot at finishing high. Lumberton had 2 judges place them 1st in finals. Had an outlier judge bring their overall ranking down.

Howdy I agree that one judge didn’t care for their program. It’s a shame that one judge basically pulled them down from 2nd to 4th. I think they were the crowd favorite for sure.

What did you think of LCM tonight?

[2022 Area C 4A]

14 bands in prelims. 10 in finals. Who makes finals and who goes to state?

[Lumberton]

Those numbers are way off. The band has never been 200. Close when you count the drill team members that joined the show. Last year was way bigger than you said as well. So I presume you are wrong about this year. 

[Lumberton]

They’ll be fine and RISE to the occasion!

[Fair Judges]

Westtexasparent just stop. You’re digging deeper. This is not an objective sport. It is highly subjective. There is no way to have 2 people with different life experiences to agree 100%. It is what it is. But to complain because you disagree just feeds into the I have to always be right mentality. Guess what. It doesn’t work that way. 
Each judge gives their own opinion. I was an alternate to the All State band twice. Did that make me a bad player? No. It made me work harder the next year. By your logic I should have just complained until the process was changed to fit my beliefs. Again it didn’t define me. I got over it and worked harder. 

[Fair Judges]

Again, you think your opinion is fact but not the opinion of the judge you disagree with. Get over it. Two people can see something completely differently. That’s life and it’s ok. 

[Fair Judges]

You’re too funny. Ain’t gonna happen. Because you know what? Judging bands is subjective. And just as many people think your opinion isn’t right either. But you said it on a message board so you must be right. 

[UIL Area E 6A 2021]

So many experts on here. Lol. By crying about the bands that “should’ve made it” you are also saying something to those that did advance to state. You’re just not openly saying it. Calm down. There’s a reason the judges don’t compare their score with other judges: fairness. Each judge is responsible for judging what they see and hear. Not based on “but they have always made it”. I’m sure there were many more bands that were good besides those that advanced but oh well. And for the students reading this: go practice. All region is just around the corner.

I think Spring Hill is still doing a military show. It was military drill and marches. Just happened to use marimbas and xylos.
