It is my understanding that Langham Creek did not have 100% of their show finished for the BOA performance, hence the poor placement that day. However, they have been improving a great deal since then and their show has actually evolved a substantial amount as well. In relation to the UIL Area competition, I think it is important to discern the differences in the way this event is being judged as opposed to a BOA, Invitational, etc. UIL judging is in my opinion more focused on the fundamentals from each band, from marching technique to drill formation and obviously the musical maturity and cohesiveness among the players. It is also important to note that Langham Creek in past years have outperformed bands in UIL that had previously outplaced them in completions prior like the BOA's and Battle at the Berry etc.
