All I’m pointing out is the impressive and historic domination of DFW at BOA, notably Lewisville. Giving credit where it’s due!

Holy god that score jump

I haven’t been affiliated with the activity in a long a** time, but man, I have secondhand stress for these kids right now lol

Daaaaaaaamn. Lol

Agree. I'm more or less saying that the depth and spread of the talent this year will collectively drive the scores up; not thinking of any show in particular that will be a candidate for deserving an absolutely immense score at San Antonio. To each his own. Of the three, I'd go with Marcus 12 Also -- sans the Marcus/Woodlands 2012 visual tie, 2007/2012 shows swept captions

Marcus 2012 96.10 @ BOA (0.10 behind their their former all-time high score of 96.20 from 2007) UIL Gold I fully think that the depth of talent this year, combined with groups mastering the UIL/BOA balance, could yield equally high scores this year.

All I’m saying is... I’m glad I’ll be enjoying this contest unaffiliated from the stands with my pretzel and large coke.

Holy Vista and Vandegrift!!

Really quite nuts to think about — That show was a monster in execution

I believe for a few cycles, there was also a trend of the 2nd or 3rd place band in this area going on to take the state title. CP 11, Vandegrift 13, CP 15, if memory serves right. This precedes the change to 6A classification, but still interesting nonetheless!* *I also realize Cedar Park was not at this contest today

Man. I want to see those ordinals

Anyone at finals?

Thought so, but couldn't remember. Thanks!

Well, looks like the most direct possible comparison will be made tonight. Does UIL have a top/bottom half rule like BOA in terms of finals performance order?

I love how seriously people take me

Actually, I think it’s more like: BOA: are we confused by the esotericism of this show? Champion! UIL: “this wasn’t as good as my 1928 military style marching band but I guess I’ll give it some credit”

Converse.... HAHAHAHA

Completely random. But just watched Marcus 2016 for the first time ever. Yeesh, the depth of talent was insane that year across all bands. Think that show would’ve continued Marcus’ reign any other cycle.

LMAO

I’m so here for all the drama this season
