While I do get your point and applaud you for taking the high road, perhaps if you did name them, it would embarass them AND their directors into not letting it happen again.

Were the ones doing the taunting headed to state and just ranked lower at area, or were they just extremely rude in their sour grapes that they did not make it? Shame on the directors and students in either case. This is NOT what band competitions are all about!

karen - I saw Cy-Falls on Saturday at finals. Their show was good and they have the usual really good props. I was surprised, that during the first half of the show they only marched on 1/2 of the field. Their props were lined up right down the middle of the field and they only marched on the home side. Isn't there a rule about using the whole field?

The schedule is up for state: http://www.uiltexas.org/files/music/2010_5ASchedule.pdf

Ok all, the results are posted: http://uilforms.com/regions/23/AREA%20MARC...nals%202010.pdf I find all the Langham Creek bashing interesting since they came in 2nd and 3 judges placed them first

OK - I'll ask again....does anyone know what the final rankings were?

Anyone know what the final rankings were?

Wow, Morgan. You give a beautiful, moving account of your band's success yesterday and then ruin it with that very tacky comment. You really had the spirit of what this competition is supposed to be about in your story. What you don't understand is what the judges are looking for vs what the audience sees. Therefore, it is unsportsmanlike and totally out of line to make or agree with comments like you did. You totally negated the beauty of your heartfelt posting.

ok..........this is getting really old and boring............why don't you guys have a private argument elsewhere??? please??????????

Is is just me, or does that not seem right??

Could someone please clarify? We weren't able to stay for finals. Did Cedar Park members actually fall down during their program and they still came in third?????

Langham Creek got the dreaded 15th position! Missed finals by .15 of a point

It was apparently Westside that did not turn in their paperwork, so they were not even at Area. If they had been, 20 bands would have participated and 4 could have gone to state. Taylor was great. What is really unbelievable is that they came in dead last in the finals. Finals results were: Langham Creek Clements Cypress Falls Cypress Woods Cy-Fair Dulles Taylor Full results for prelims and finals are posted at: http://www.uilforms.com/regions/23/AREA%20...sults-AreaE.xls

Anyone know what happened to Katy Taylor? I thought their show was awesome and can't believe they weren't in the top 3

Westfield is not in Area E
