Thank you for the respectful response. This was very effective. This is the proper tone and diction to use when communicating about these issues. Appreciate it.

And some kids may have the same opinion as me.

Threatening is crazy considering I have not insulted a program, as I’ve only commented on potential bias patterns and home field advantage.

Pretty sure I got cleaned up as well. I didn’t go after the kids, everyone is talented. It’s free speech and our first amendment right so some of our opinions should not be silenced. Now I understand the blatant hate and bashing being take care of, but frustration and callouts should not be. Avon won, and Instagram comments are mostly in agreement that FloMo was robbed. We are entitled to that opinion and the theories as to why such events have taken place. Would also like to point out that Carmel was the band invited to the Rose Parade and Avon took the eagle. Does raise an eyebrow for me on this 50th anniversary.

Good, they won’t waste money

What they say in the judges room “oh which Texas band are we giving 7th place to this year” LOL

I did say congrats! There’s just so much bias it’s crazy.

Exactly, and Avon goes every year…

SPOILERS 1st Avon- 99.3 1st Carmel- 99.3 3rd-Flower Mound -98.5

I agree!

Wow very well said. I agree 💛

I think x is Hebron and z is flomo, I’d rather have flomo take it tho cause they had a better production

vandegrift doesn’t deserve to be that high I fear, they didn’t 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 didn’t choke like that

There’s a magicalness in the opening hit of a marching band and the only one that gave me that magic, was Cedar Park, bravo 👏

Then say who outright won please

All bands performed at a high level it’s just that….no one stood out as to where I’m 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 Clarinet Player is a judge I think omg…

Aw man, the bias is obvious 😭😭

No, if some bands get higher than penstriped 2021, it’s just a score inflation. That show is unmatched

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 who’s going to win. Lets just give it to Pearland TBH

Scores don’t mean anything from different years or contests. I’m sure 2022 Hebron would’ve been beat clean by 2021 Hebron.

The Clarinet Player is right I fear. Nothing screamed “Winner” like Hebron 2021 did. I didn’t feel any of the top bands tonight (you’re 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.

Individual mistakes happening with Vandy, oh no
