I'm not sure about breakdown but Wylie east got all captions except for guard which went to Emerson and Wylie east was first, Emerson second, and Heritage third. That's all that had gotten announced. And some spirit award got given to Anna

Also, congrats to East on the win! Happy to see how they do at Bedford, they are much stronger than last season, though I think that was more show design and less the kids. Panther Creek in 5th is interesting, and also PW is 4th. Ik west tends to be on the lower side of placements to it's awesome to see them do so well here. I think PC will still be at the top of 4A plus it's still early into the season and it was the brass judge that "tanked" their score, but I still think they will still have a strong season 

I don’t know. I think I’m on the other side of this argument. I’m just not seeing it yet with PC. I don’t think it was just the brass score that caused them to fall. They’re always clean as far as individual execution is concerned but they really didn’t place that high in anything else.

I saw their finals run. They are very clean. Much cleaner than at the Frisco Showcase.

having said that, there is not a ton of variety in their production. It’s also not as hard as some other shows in finals. Slightly harder than Anna maybe. IDK, I’m not a judge. It just kinda falls short for me. I thought they were better execution than NL. I don’t know how much better it can actually get. Looks like they have about 1 min or 2 to put on so my point could be invalid by what’s left to put on.

I don’t agree with where NL ended up. They were much cleaner, more in tune, and more dynamic than at least 3 or 4 bands ahead of them. They never park and bark. They never seem to get credit till the end of the season. And most of these bands had incomplete shows. So it’s not that.
