I love Bridgeland's pre-show, it just puts everyone into a good mood.

In regards to Dawson, I don’t normally get heated about results but to think that a bands season was cut short due to 1 judge’s decision to put them at the bottom of the barrel, while none of the other judges felt close to the bottom (one even saying they were at the very top) I think it is absolutely awful. 

I am not trying to take anything away from these bands (advancing to state or not) but it seems like UIL is.
Area E has a history of poor ethics and overall unfair competitions,
From Friendswood 2017 and Ridge Point 2021’s hard work being completely disregarded by a technicality resulting in a 2nd division rating over something the kids had no control over (even though all three judges from both situations awarded the bands with unanimous superior ratings), to the allowance of a judge (formally a director of bands at a school participating in the contest and who lives in the area) to give a band a 9th place vote when EVERY OTHER JUDGE GAVE THEM 1st place (Clements 2018) resulting in the band of which that judge formerly directed placing first.
This year takes the cake however, the absolute chaos represented in the scores from Saturday potentially degraded 19/23 bands through the obvious biases and vastly different standards of excellence in the judging panel. We saw numbers like 1&13 given to a band using the same rubric (Clear Falls), also a band who won the visual caption in prelims barely making it into finals (Austin), to the worst case which was in finals where a band who has been consistently making state, sometimes even finals, was cheated out of their state performance by 1 ordinal point (Dawson).
I am disappointed in UIL because kids should not be set up poorly like this, Congratulations to all of the bands who advanced, including my favorite, Brook, but even more Congratulations to the programs who didn’t and still are holding their heads high.
p.s. don’t even think I didn’t notice the weird shadows in the draw order, that’s a whole other thread.

A joke.

Dawson scores confuse me

It’s not the judges it’s the system guys, it just doesn’t seem right, having multiple different people put a score on the same scale just seems like the judges are bound for disagreement 
but ive always been a Mcallum supporter so I’m proud💅🏻
