Mmm I was a little taken aback by Reagan… they were clean visually sure but there were parts of that show, many actually, that were really hard to listen to. They don’t have the same quality of sound as some of the other bands who will undoubtedly place below them. I didn’t really like the balancing at all, just my take I guess. CTJ was the opposite for me. Clean musically and nice to listen to but some shockingly dirty visual moments. Especially at the end.

Prestige of bands at State/BOA
ChristopherRoden replied to tubapop's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I do think that name recognition plays some into how a band is perceived. this is especially the case, from what I can tell, in contests with a lot of bands right next to each other competitively. IE: if there are 10 bubble bands all at just about the same level, the 3 that made finals last year at this contest have a better shot at being in again. Curious if that’s been seen by others as well though -
Area I 6A 2023

I totally agree with your rankings 100%! I think some of the other judges were right there with ya. I think the activity will head back in the direction of marching/dancing while playing as the activity progresses as a whole. Double tonguing and jazz running were only part of the elite groups when I was in band 5 years ago, now, it’s part of just about every program in area finals! And some that didn’t make it. The activity will keep pushing forward and I strongly believe that demand will go up up up. -

Congrats to all the state advancers! I feel for the Jordan kids, 1st out of state in 2021, 10th last year, now first out again. Hopefully next year will be their year! -

Oh I’ll have to double check then! I thought, based on the Area B thread, that the prop had passed but I cannot find anything in the UIL constitution so who knows -

Yep, but I think UIL voted this past year that if there’s a tie for the last state spot, both advance -
