Thanks for sharing. I’ve been looking for a Celina video for weeks showing the entire show. I’m in awe of their precision. So many challenging movements and all so closely in sync. It’s incredible. 
 

Saturday was a blur. I’m going to watch the others later. I still feel like the judging here was pretty spot on. I am a little sad I won’t get to see the Paris accordion player again. So charming!

Of course not to mention at State there are two completely different sets of judges. One group judges the prelims then gets sent home and a new fresh group of judges comes in and does the finals without seeing the teams during prelims. 

Is it 100% new judges for finals round? If it's a 7 judge panel, only 11 judges are listed.

Celina- Attention to detail for sure. If they lean or step out, the body & leg angles are the same.

We wanted to know if the accordion player already knew how to play?

I was told she taught herself! I had a sweet parent group from Paris behind me. They said she learned over the summer.

I found a Lumberton video on Facebook but it is a little worse quality

That’s cool! I feel like self teaching the accordion, (or just any instrument), takes a lot of time, but to do it over the summer? That is an amazing skill 🤩

This was one of my favorite shows at area! Very sad for Paris but they should be proud of their show.

Hey! Now your question was able to come into effect earlier this week..... Celina, Sulphur Springs, & North Lamar advanced while Pleasant Grove finished 12th, Farmersville finished 13th, Bridge City finished 16th, & Lumberton finished 17th.

I'd say that is still pretty good for Area C to be in the top 17. Only Area that beat us was Area B. 3/4 bands there made finals except for Aubrey who finished 14th.

Interesting to learn that the PV show was an old Van Alstyne show

 Holy crap pleasant grove! I knew they had a good run but I had no idea they would be over Farmersville. I knew their prelims run was clean but I did not expect that. I was so happy for the PC kids (but I know the Farmersville kids wee disappointed )☹️ 

I watched Gatesville’s prelims run and knew something special was happening. The balance, the theme, the music. It was so good! I was over the moon for the area b bands!

Lots of you said some messed up stuff about NL. (Shadows of their former self’s)

Now that everything is done, what did you think? I loved it obviously
