Moe & Gene Johnson. They were 1 year into existence in 2020, with only Soph-Seniors that year. Now they're making UIL State in 6A + multiple Super Regional finals appearances this year.

You being surprised by that doesn’t surprise me.

Super fascinating and is another solid argument in persuading UIL to do…something, anything…different. The opposition’s argument is the difference in judging between UIL & BOA, but that’s another aspect I strongly believe could use some tweaking. Under no circumstances should 1 judge hold so much power in anything so heavily subjective, but that’s a topic for another time. I hate to use Lake Travis as an example, because theirs was my personal fav show this season, but when you look at their show/scores for this season compared to a school like Bowie’s…and then notice which one advanced to state…yeah, it’s interesting.

I want to laugh at this comment because it’s perfection, but it just feels really, really wrong… 😬🫣

There's multiple schools that had 3 judges put them in "finals" range, while the other judges did not. I dont think it was anything nefarious against one school in particular, it's just the way math works.

I disagree! I thought they more than held their own with the schools they were sandwhiched between, and thought it was actually going to guarantee them a spot in finals. I hadn't seen Keller yet all season and was absolutely floored by the quality of their performance. Def the most shocking result for me.

Super exciting & quite a resume. Good luck to you guys!

Honestly, I just don’t know anything about them & haven’t seen their show, so the name didn’t stand out. I assume they could possibly medal since I got called out for not listing them? It’ll be exciting to watch some new powerhouse bands I haven't gotten to see yet.

Okay, so there it is. *sigh* I think I'll just start all over... 😬

Why did I think Hebron wasn’t going?? im gonna stick Hebron in that #2 spot & shift everyone down one.

Predictions: 1. FloMo 2. Vista 3. Vande 4. Woodlands 5. Marcus 6. Reagan 7. Cedar Ridge 8. MGJ 9. Rouse 10. Dripping 11. Pearland 12. 7 Lakes 13. Cedar Park 14. Round Rock/CTJ

Yes. Cedar Ridge, CTJ, Dripping Springs, MGJ, & Reagan all advance to State 👏

(For context, those are the top 3 listed in the aggregate rankings predictions for Area D that have now all performed)

How do you think both schools compared to Cedar Ridge’s performance earlier this morning?

How are we feeling about the weather today?

Idk why, but I have a feeling Bowie is gonna take that 5th spot over CTJ.

Righhhht! The suspense is killing me

Whew! 😅

And we’re sure about that right? Because chatGPT is gaslighting the ish out of me right now. It’s saying with 26 advancing to Area, we’ll only have 3 moving on to state. It even showed me the UIL criteria. What is it missing?

Region 18 results 6A Akins: 1 Austin High: 1 Bowie: 1 Del Valle: 2 Dripping: 1 Moe & Gene: 1

Region 18 results Akins: 1 Austin High: 1 Bowie: 1 Del Valle: 2 Dripping: 1 Moe & Gene: 1

If they have a super clean run tonight, I think they can overtake Bentonville.

Sorry, I meant Round Rock, not DS.

I think you make very solid points. Curious though, I haven’t seen CTJ since BOA San Marcos. Do you see them beating DS to move on to state?
