I know I am a bit late on this, but it was disheartening to say the least to see Seven Lakes out of finals. The scores from the judges for each category were... interesting to me, with 7L sitting at 13th for individual music and 3rd for ensemble music (averaging out at 5th), 8th for individual visual and 21st for ensemble visual (averaging out at 15th), 14th and 10th for music GE and 15th for visual GE, averaging out at 13th overall for GE. Obviously it's very inconsistent across the board, and whether the fault lies with the band or the judges is neither clear nor important at this point. I am very confident that Seven Lakes will be able to polish up and have a great run at Waco, so don't give up on them just yet!
