vandegrift doesnāt deserve to be that high I fear, they didnāt do enough to clench a top 5 in my opinion, their name gives them a free extra 2pts. The mistakes should not be overlooked. Other bands didnāt choke like that
All bands performed at a high level itās just thatā¦.no one stood out as to where Iām content with the winner, you might be content with the winner, but I think you can somewhat agree that one band did not outshine the rest as to where they are clearly the winners.
The Woodlands is the only thing that makes sense, because I do not know who the audience is rooting for. They seem confused cause they have no clue whoās going to win. Lets just give it to Pearland TBH
The Clarinet Player is right I fear. Nothing screamed āWinnerā like Hebron 2021 did. I didnāt feel any of the top bands tonight (youāre not tired MarchingMafia).
The only band Ive seen the audience collectively like without bias is The Woodlands. Other times it feels like they feel obligated to give a standing ovation. I wanna see the magic from CTJ 2017, Vista Ridge 2018, etc, where the audience undeniably gets on their feet.
Hebron was good and clean, with a hard musical book, I just wish I felt content with the winner. Most years there is a clear winner, but none have gone above and beyond from the rest to separate themselves from the pack.
