2024 Birdville Marching Festival (10/12)

[CosmicLimbo]

Thoughts on the finals runs from anyone there ?

[PercDad4Life]

I think the top 5 are all pretty close.  No Marcus's or Flower Mound's here.  If I had to guess Keller will take 1st place.  2-5 is a toss up for me.

Congratulations to Keller! Also, Colleyville seems to be back, happy to see them having success after last season, and Emerson up to 6th. Congrats to everyone here!!

Does anyone have a list of the scores? From The prelims ? 

[Harrysm]

Anyone know perc scores

[BandKid_2]

Anyone have scores?

[josephbandfan]

No major disagreements with results. Just thought Sachse would get 2nd and win color guard.

Unless I’m remembering wrong, I think Colleyville Heritage only had 6 color guard members and ended up winning the caption. They did utilize non varsity band members with swing flags as well and the woodwinds at one point of the show.

Colleyville definitely here this season for redemption.. how did the colony drop to 8th? I havent seen the actual results from the judges… and Burleson centennial’s drumline is outrageous 😅

[Bbowman615]

Top 2-5 I think is gonna be really close in the scoring even though I haven’t seen it yet considering BC got 5th but got 1st in percussion but I think colleyville did upset Sachse a little bit cause of their color guard but  overall this was a good competition

[CosmicLimbo]

Ash wasn’t rocking with Keller it seems 😅

[Bbowman615]

One judge really didn’t like Keller in the content and design cause why is k.miller and B.Ash scoring a lot different from each other and BC is knocking on Sachse’s door

Ben Ash was actually judging color guard. Understandable since Keller’s guard program has been rebuilding from all the guard director changes they’ve had and drop in numbers. 9th may have been a little harsh though 

On another note, it seems BC and Sachse actually tied in finals

Ok thx for clarifying yeah I know Keller is gonna be focusing on their color guard next rehearsal

Anyone have the prelims recap? Curious as to where those who didn’t make it placed

My drum major told me that Chisholm placed 13th and fossil ridge and Mansfield were below us and heard also Saginaw placed 18th that’s all I know

I'm pretty sure Ben Ash is a Keller alumni.  I remember someone named Ben Ash that was a drum major and did color guard when my sister was in the Keller Band.

Right!?!? There’s 6-8 bands (if not more) that will go into Area C feeling good about their chances!
