I do wonder about the acoustics of the Ford Center, but I bet the seating would be lacking for a Super Regional.

One was at Pennington Field in Bedford and called the DFW Regional on Oct 8th. The other was in Prosper and called the North Texas Regional on Oct 15th.

Actually, I think it is purely difficulty scored on the achievability of your students. All of the other scores show the execution whereas content will be only difficulty. But again only difficulty that is achievable by your students and also not too easy.

In a traditional context it means difficulty and level of achievement combined. You can have the hardest possible thing written, but if it is higher than the capability of your students you won’t get credit for it. Also if everything is too easy then your score won’t be as high either. UIL is known for weird scoring, so they might not even do it this way.

Or another way to look at it, only 2 of the 5 judges saw them as state advancing where as the majority did not.

Aside from your first place group not getting a single 1 ordinal from any judge.

I took all of the ordinals form the top 13 and put them all in a spreadsheet, it was actually a little difficult to discern some of the scores, but with the totals correct I think I have it. There were some interesting gaps and interesting disagreements between judges.

Some of these individual judges have some funky ordinals that make even decoding the fuzzy numbers difficult. For example, one judge gave a group the following numbers: 3 7 2 1 3 and this led to them getting an ordinal of 2 from the judge. This makes me think that there will definitely be some movement in the finals rankings!

I pulled it up on my laptop, if anyone has any questions of the ordinals I can probably grab them for you.

Do we know which judges may move captions from Prelims to Finals? That could give us some insight to the possibilty of some moving ordinals.

After finals announcements at some point this evening.

As everyone says, it’s all about getting the right bands to State not the placements.

Any surprises?

Nearly I think

Everyone always is annoying and posts on the thread asking for it, Mods will delete it if it gets posted but I have never seen an issue with it being out.

I’d quote yourself and continue this thread so that it shows on the latest page.

Don’t give what they said too much weight, they said that Waxahachie “would’ve probably beat Keller at Duncanville” where the actual hypothetical occurred opposite of what they said.

It looks like they could squeeze some time out of the break if they wanted. Some DCI shows have foregone the Intermission to get in before rain, which could also be an option. How much rain or delay us to occur at the start of they day for the contest to be pushed back to Monday?

With all of the rain today, overnight, and into the morning it looks like there may be a delayed start?

Answering my own question, it’s at Pennington Field.

Where will this contest take place?

https://www.duncanvilleisd.org/departments/band/duncanville-marching-invitational they always post it to their website, just scroll down to prelims of finals results

People gossip about things they’ve “heard” all the time. They went over time and it was their fault.

I believe so

I believe this contest does a reverse prelims placement for finals order.
