Areas B-5A and C-5A have been moved to Monday. Both are keeping the same prelims performance times.

Thankfully, most Area fields will be artificial turf instead of natural grass.

Yeah, rain doesn't get along well with all the electronics used to run the live blog.... If you are at an Area contest, be safe. And check in here on the forums and let us know how it is going.

I'm always excited to see Queen City. Also the military bands. -
This Weekends Blog?
Xenon replied to Jellyfishes's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
There currently aren't any plans for a live blog this weekend due to there being dozens of Region contests going on all at the same time. I will start a topic for people to post 2A/3A/5A Region results in so that we can keep track of how many can advance to State from each Area. -

You have to have 2 music judges and 1 marching judge having you in top-3, not just in advancement position. -
2015 BOA San Antonio Predictions
Xenon replied to guardgirl17's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
In 2005, Marcus was the first band to perform on Saturday at something like 6:30am. This was their bird show (Fowl Play), and the birds in the stadium were chirping up a storm as the preshow bird calls were playing in the pit. -

2015 UIL 5A State Marching Band Contest
Xenon replied to chrisdinh's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Ties are broken by making a new sub-contest of just the tied bands and re-ranking them. Vandegrift 4 3 4 4 3 3 3 Vista Ridge 3 4 2 3 4 4 4 Becomes: Vandegrift 2 1 2 2 1 1 1 = 10 Vista Ridge 1 2 1 1 2 2 2 = 11 -
Exactly. There are still quite a few incomplete shows and other than the two RRs there really hasn't been any area mixing at all. Bands that go to GN also tend to have a completely different growth curve due to how late in the season it is. Keller, Round Rock, and Hebron all have extremely short shows right now, do it is extremely hard to judge them on what they could be like in November. Adding to everything else is just how extremely tight all the scoring has been at the top not only in overall scores but also in the captions.

It really is! The schedule has changed this morning, btw. 2 bands dropped and one moved to later, so we aren't starting until 7:45am. I posted a picture of the schedule on the blog, FB, and Twitter.

Since 24LiveBlog's comment system is so different from CoverItLive's, I've made this thread so that anyone that wants to comment can.

Best Moments of 2015 (so far)

I see what you mean. It's the low piano note over and over again that reminds me of the Sephiroth scenes. Not One Winged Angel, but scenes where some portion of the past plot is being revealed and Sephiroth was just there slightly before. -
