What do you all mean by “call it like it is”?

I don’t even know what a paradiddle is😩 sounds like someone sneezed, so I’m lost on percussion too

Keller has placed above Waxahachie in 7-judge UIL style contests(DMI and so far state prelims) however Waxahachie placed above Keller in both prelims and finals at Area, a 5-judge system. Interesting. No idea why this happened lol

I had decided to make finals placement predictions for my finalist locks. It seems 1, 2, 6, 9, and 12 were accurate for prelims. also my prediction of Marcus in 8th and coppell in 9th at BOA SA finals was inaccurate there but accurate here. *sigh* I’ll get this down someday

Cedar Ridge first in percussion again!

Hebron and Vandy tied for 1st!

I’ve never screenshotted something so quickly in my life

See you were making sense until I kept reading

I have a chick fil a sandwich with your name on it

So a judge CAN give tied scores/rankings. I say that cuz in one discussion room I was asking why there are hardly any ties given to two bands from one judge.

Wait they tied? Who won the tiebreaker?

I would like to see them as well

My 12 finals locks were spot on and two of my 7 bubble finalist made it. I heard Westlake was first out and they were in my bubble so that confirms my list even more.

The anxiety I am feeling…

Oh so NFHS called dibs? I was thinking Box5 just doesn’t love us anymore 😩

Thank you for saving me $11.99😩

If not I will happily subscribe and announce finalists and performance times, unless someone else has that covered lol

Dan podcast said there was a split this year.

Oh ok so everyone gets a number and they perform in numerical order based on whether they’re in top half or bottom half.

I hear you. I’m still trying to master these predictions. Sometimes my predictions are wrong for prelims but are right for finals or vice versa. Or I’ll place a band solely on one aspect of their performance instead of the whole thing, and be right for that category but not the whole placement. And I’m still trying to figure out the different ways judges adjudicate prelims vs finals.

I remember at my high school’s marching contest the announcer came on after prelims performances when the judges are tabulating the scores and said “If it were easy we’d be done already”.

Small thing but does anyone else expect the announcer to always say Flower Mound High School after they say “joining us from Flower Mound, TX…” like me? It always trips me up when they say Marcus instead😩

Westlake Prelims Performance

Oh so that’s what was happening? I was wondering why I got a notification that you replied to my comment but when I clicked nothing popped up😩

They emailed me back and said they’ll give my feedback to whoever needs it
