  2. UIL 5A State Marching Contest 2023

    in UIL: Upcoming Contests

    Posted

    Here are my top 3 predictions:

     

    1. Rouse
    2. Wakeland
    3. Cedar Park

     

    Let me explain why I think Wakeland has a good chance. They lost to Leander by a point in the finals at the super regional, but GE killed Wakeland, and there is no GE. Also, I just like Wakeland's show a lot more than theirs. The tuba solo and trombone solo are cool, but their show just doesn't meet the expectations of that show!

    you’d be surprise at how many parents I’ve seen act like this. but no worries, I love you guys and I hope you guys advance! I’m just worried about the judges since I know they tend to score y’all unfairly.

    I agree with the fact that many band parents fuel the conflicts between bands, especially online. I'm just surprised someone had the audacity to post about it here.

    Thing with Lone Star is that the judges always screw them over. I have them higher for the fact I want them over Friendswood, but it really depends if the judges like it.

    Also, Lonestars Show is very mediocre this year. Their music is good, but their drill needs improvement. Additionally, their drill doesn't compare to some of the bands ahead of them. Personally, I preferred last year's show.

    I agree with these placements. Rouse, Cedar Park, and Wakeland have truly left a mark this season.

    Rouse, sitting at the top, brings a show with some seriously challenging drill work. Their commitment to precision and musicality is evident, but the intricate drill formations mean that one small misstep could lead to a domino effect in certain sets. It's like watching a 5A drum corps take on a marching band performance, and it's fascinating to see their level of discipline and skill.

    Cedar Park, in the second spot, offers a show that's simply stellar. Their performance is a testament to their exceptional skill and artistry. They perform with a precision and coordination that rivals the best drum corps. Their show's musicality, combined with complex drill work, creates a mesmerizing experience for the audience.

    Wakeland, in the third position, is a musical powerhouse. Their incredible musicality is beautifully complemented by intricate drill formations, which are not only complex but also visually stunning. It's almost as if they've taken a page from the drum corps book with their precision and the seamless integration of music and movement.

    The "Finals Bubble" adds an exciting twist to the competition, with Lebanon Trail, Richland, Foster, and Lake Benton all vying for a spot in the finals. These bands bring their unique strengths and creativity to the table, making the finals a tantalizing spectacle of talent.

    Heres the link to scores https://www.smbc.uiltexas.org/area/results/files/area-23_5A Area B.pdf

     

    Here's my rundown. Wakeland did a fantastic job as they won all 1s and beat Lonestar by 6 points in finals. Wakeland always seems to perform much better during finals, which is amazing. If only they could perform like that during prelims. But I have to admit, Wakeland's show is designed for BOA, which is much better than most shows. On the other hand, if Lonestar had a BOA designed show, they would also be really good. Just imagine if Wakeland and Lonestar combined their talents, it would be a powerhouse! Great job to all the other bands! Wakeland's performance was better than BOA Proser Finals.

    1st lonestar

    2nd wakeland

    5th McKinney north 

    6th argyle

    7th emerson

    8th memorial

    9th walnut grove

    If this is a prediction for final placement, I really think Wakeland is getting first. They had a really bad run compared to BOA Prosper. I hope they will lock in tonight!

    It’s confirmed lone star got first by only a fraction of a point though. Will make finals very interesting especially if the weather gets better.

    Wow, I did not expect that! But as Crunchy Cookie said, they had a good time slot, so it's going to change. I can really feel it. However, hopefully, Wakeland doesn't see this and let it affect them too much.

    From a parent at Walnut Grove:

    A drunk driver hit the woodwinds bus. They were shaken up, but they took all the kids in that bus to be checked out at a doc-in-a-box ER that's right at that intersection, and everyone checked out fine. They gave the kids the option of coming to UIL or calling it a day, and they wanted to come. They are hoping to make it here in time to warm up. So scary!!!

    As I watched the Wakeland marching band perform, I couldn't help but be amazed by their incredible performance. Their precision, musicality, and sheer energy made it the best show I had seen all day. The clarinet section, in particular, caught my attention. At one point during the performance, it seemed like a clarinet player dropped something. However, they quickly recovered and seamlessly continued with the show, demonstrating their professionalism and dedication. It was a small hiccup in an otherwise flawless performance.
