Agreed! The kids are amazing and don't need the LEDs. It distracts from their amazing effort!

Well said! I appreciate this reminder!

Anyone keep fun statistics like the largest ever placement jump between prelims and finals?

Nothing in this real-time review reads 9th to me. And it certainly doesn't read 11 in Brass, 12 in Woodwinds, 10 in music ensemble. Might I have expected lower visual scores after Lone Star's run today due to minor spacing issues? Olay, that would make sense. Except actually, visual and show design were Lone Star's saving grace tonight and music scores are what killed them. By all means, PLEASE help that make sense! Do I think it's a conspiracy? Absolutely not. I'm truly just trying to understand. But, flip flopping after results (while calling the opinion "subjective") is a bit hypocritical and not super constructive.

I was talking about consistency of SCORING between comps with the same score sheets

No, you're not being too critical. It doesn't make sense. Second in one of the hardest areas (and one point off first) in the state to 9th tonight.

This might make sense except that the scores don't even make sense when compared to BOA Super Regional.

Consistency. That's why

I can't help but notice that all but one of the top 6 were at BOA Super Regional last weekend. I know the scoring is completely different. But, is there any chance that being seen at one affects the other?

This varies dramatically based on where in Frisco you live. Panther Creek's numbers will be increasing for the foreseeable future as The Fields development continues to grow.

Anyone in Melissa for prelims? Is there a rain delay this morning?

YESSSS! It was so much fun! 🥰

Amazing performance last night. It was a joy to watch. Loved seeing our kids up and dancing along with you in the stands!

Appreciate the explanation, but honestly feels like pretty bad form. Seems like they could have sent just the drum majors back or bought a room just for them and sent the rest of the band home.

Seriously impressive work by all of the Area B! All four Are B bands advanced to finals!!
