Point taken.

Sigh. :/ How many bands do you think there are in the state? Hundreds more than just all the "bubble" bands and locks for BOA SA My point about discussing all the better bands wasn't so much that we should discuss everybody, but that this site has threads all about "WHATS LD BELL GONNA DO NEXT?" and when someone like I does less than praise any other band that isn't being put on a pedestal, indicating they aren't absolutely fantastical (no disrespect intended), people pulla WTF. Like, do you want me to praise some band in the same way Marcus or LD Bell is when clearly they are not on the same level? I understand people here obviously don't praise most the same way they do those other two, but for some reason it's just taboo to say anything not positive. It's one thing if it is a falsehood, but everything I've said is in fact the truth, or at least the perceived truth. If we can't talk about other programs in any perceived negative view while still saying the truth, then the same has to be said about praising the others. Leave it for the members and the judges as you put it. My apologies to those who found me rude, but frankly I always saw the praise of some of the bands on here as a "Wow look at these guys! They're so much better than your band!!" Implicitly of course. But let's leave it at this. It's really distracted from the topic of the thread.

Exactly.

Truth is the truth, but whatever floats your boat.

Random pick.

Most of them aren't ready to be there anyway.

I doubt it. They want those bands to come in to rack in ticket sales and concessions, etc. from the support that comes with them and themselves if they choose to stay after not making finals. Some call that evil but I call it well played business.

Cleanliness, difficulty, balance, etc. amongst both the battery and front ensemble.
