propsquaddad got a reaction from Rubisco in WGI World Championships 2021 - Face Mask Edition
So incredibly proud of the Rouse HS guard. Their director called them "The little team that could".
Congrats to all the Texas teams that made the finals!!

And here are the twelve TX groups that received Superior ratings. Supposedly the standards for superior ratings for semis performances were raised "to mirror historic thresholds for Finals Progression." This partly explains why some groups that have received these ratings previously did not receive them after semis.
Coppell HS JV2
Eastlake HS
Hebron HS
McCullough JH Varsity
Pearland HS
Prosper HS A
Rouse HS
Seven Lakes HS JV
Spring ISD
The Woodlands HS
Vista Ridge HS
Westwood HS
Congrats again to all participating groups!

I may be a little bias being from Leander ISD but I would expect Vista Ridge to both make finals and finish very high. Why would we expect anything less from a band from arguably the best marching band school district in the great state of Texas.

Wow. It's like making Finals at Grand Nats might be as tough as making Finals at San Antonio!

I agree and was not discounting Vandy, Reagan or any other program this coming year, just that Vista and CTJ are going to see each other a number of time (more than usual) with TMC and State before matching up in Indy. it should be great year for all programs and I wish them all the best

It does, I agree. Idk, I have mixed emotions about it. A "state winning" UIL show may or may not do well at GN, and the smaller schools like CP, Rouse, and Glen don't have near the fund raising base as Vista or Vandy. A trip to GN is an additional $400,000 to the budget. I think it would be really cool if LISD sent everyone to GN one year. win the whole thing and sweep the classes.

Rouse HS had 7 make all state.
Leander ISD as a whole had a total of 34 make All-State band.

Leander getting bumped down to 5A really puts pressure on Cedar Park, Rouse, and Glen. All of which made the Finals (Cedar park #1, and Rouse #4). I think It's very possible we see a repeat of 2015 with a Leander ISD sweep in 5A.

I understand the bitterness - our program was the only high school of the 7 in the district to compete - appreciate your kind words about the program. I remain grateful that the directors gave the kids an avenue to normal - and totally agree that there are many other programs that in a normal year on the field could and would have competed well. We are grateful for those that did and look forward to being on the field with them all in 2021.
our shirts are a way to "embrace the suck" - as I learned many years ago
stay safe -

There is a reason CTJ won. They were the best band out there this year. I think the bitterness comes from those of us that know our schools would have had a shot at the title as well under different circumstances. But nobody can take anything away from CTJ. There is a reason they are one of the best band in the country, Year after year they absolutely bring it every time they step on the field.
Those shirts crack me up!!

Do I think Leander ISD made the right decision and did not compete this year? I think so. Do I wish we could have seen VRHS defend their title? Of course I do. I also feel for all of those seniors that did not get to do all of the things they should have done. My daughter was a senior at Rouse last year (in Color Guard) when all of this started and their winter guard season was canceled.

Glad you got your bright spot and congrats to CTJ.
I think this year has sucked like no other. And for my kid it is just a horrible senior year.
Pardon my bitterness.

I hate that Marcus pulled that time slot. Based on the video I saw, this should have been theirs to lose. I think they'll still medal, but won't be the one they probably should take home.

I agree there is a chance, but 2021 is also a 5A state year.

No penalty today; just a stern warning for next time.
Class awards are tomorrow. And Leander has absolutely no threat whatsoever of losing anything in their class.

Gonna call it now that Leander ISD will become the first ever school district to take home two medals in the same year from GN.
