Personally, I enjoyed Lake Ridge's show, however, to say the marching and forms were clean is impossible. You can't judge running as marching. That doesn't mean that you don't march. It just means that people are a little uneasy when there is a good 1-2 minutes of running and a LOT of scatter-drill. When it comes to GE I applaud you. The show and drill truly made me think "What in the World." I firmly believe that the placement at area was based largely on schedule and an outdated UIL system. Was the show good? Yes. Does it need to be cleaner? Yes. Were there better bands at area? Yes. Are there quite a few members from Lake Ridge on this forum that need to take their win with a bit of humility? Firmly, Yes.

Loved Lake Ridges show! Congrats to them on their first trip to state! I am so confused on why the judging was so out of whack. For example: Lake Ridge was given 1st in music twice and then 11th by the third judge. For marching they were given 1st by one judge and 9th by another. I definitely wish UIL would switch over to the point system to make the placement more definite and less confusing..... And less confusing..... The biggest surprises to me: Frisco Centennial - 6th Mansfield Legacy - 10th Aledo -11th

I love how they both talked in 3rd person about their band! Best of luck at area!

I think "Frisco" is meaning Centennial.

Who do you think will be the four to move on from Area B?
