Where did you get prelims results from? I've been waiting on that for ages. Also that run was one of our worst from LT. The Finals run was a lot more locked in and centered compared to prelims. That was one set to be our best run of the year.

We all have a group hold before choreo in our ballad. I can see why they did it then.

I don't know who originally said to get off, because all of us were facing the back sideline. Mainly, I don't think it was our BDs cause they wouldn't be so mad and nor would our fine arts director. Shortly after we got into the hallway, brass were pushed into the back lot, with woodwinds and pit staying inside.

Also right before we had went we saw a few lightning flashes in the sky (this was during Reagan's show). I think it was too far away to affect us, then during our show one struck close enough to end it.

We were performing and were told to get off. I think it was lightning. We were in our ballad and getting ready to do choreo when we heard pits electronics go off. That's when we started getting a bit suspicious. Our band was ready to keep playing because even the morning rehearsal before it was a downpour.

What makes me mad the most is that TMC hasn't posted prelims results yet for all of us to view. I have a feeling they know they're gonna get flamed.

Our fine arts director tweeted out saying we were given 2 options. Either 1, be given a 0 and be considered an exhibition band, or 2 be scored on the 50% of the show we were able to perform. Also, to further explain what happened : we were performing and halfway through it started raining, so the judges had told us to get off the field and into the locker room.

LT got screwed over a lot. They've been told by their directors they got 2nd in prelims ahead of Rouse, and the kids were saying the finals run was their best run by far. Judges also later told us we were on pace to beat Reagan.

Lake Travis this year is much better. Even in 2016 they had come behind Westlake just barely. If Stevens is going to TMC we will see the better band, but quite frankly I don't see Stevens or any other school beating LT.

Honestly, I can see Lake Travis advancing to state. They were extremely close in 2016, and they're a lot better this year. I feel like their score in BOA Austin doesn't reflect them as a whole because musically they're alot better than before. Visually the show itself just needs some cleaning.
