Warfact Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Seeing as how we did overall, I'm not so sure of that (Mansfield). Our drill is very hard this year. Granted we had an earlier time spot which could have affected things. I thought our performance was pretty solid for where we're at and was disappointed to hear the results . Yeah, this contest was very competitive. Just as your band did, our band felt pretty solid with our performance and had high hopes of making finals, however when the announcements came, we saw how hard the competition really was. Standing next to hebron during announcements was hard as well because we know everyone(including me) expected them to make finals and it must have been hard to take. I personally love Hebron's show and am looking forward to seeing it again this friday at our game and again the next day at UIL. (I also like Mansfield's show. It was in my top 3 favorite shows at TOC ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegiphobe Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 (I also like Mansfield's show. It was in my top 3 favorite shows at TOC ) Thanks! You guys have improved quite a bit since last year. I thought you guys had a really cool show as well this year. But wow, do you guys look so much better! Our show will be a lot cleaner by Duncanville and UIL time. Idk... there's always next year ofr BOA I guess . Btw did anyone else have any weird Judge placings? One judge said he liked our show a lot, yet he put us as 19th! (Visual GE). Kind of odd for they type of show we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcomac29 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 are you going to review prelims? i wanna know what ppl other than our directors have to say and since you didn't review carrolton, i was assuming you'd review us this time. but maybe not? i go to mansfield btw. p.s. i know that you have a life outside of this site, so it's cool if you don't have the time to.

Aka-Attack Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Does anyone know why Marcus got the .8 penalty in finals? Because they would have won by 1.4 but I wonder what happend. I don't remember seeing anything wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubanerd126 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 The only two bands i saw was LD Bell and Martin. I wasnt impressed by Bells show, i found it boring. And Martin just looked like they were going through the motions. Martin did much better at Dean Corey the Tuesday before. They have the ability to do really good they just dont put emotion into it when it counts, which was whe problem with Martin last year.

radchad Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Does anyone know why Marcus got the .8 penalty in finals? Because they would have won by 1.4 but I wonder what happend. I don't remember seeing anything wrong. I paid extra attention to the things that would get you a penalty. In finals, I am pretty sure Marcus had pit equipment over the red line. They weren't the only ones, either. I could be wrong, so don't quote me.. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bell18 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 marcus got the penalty for not having a long enough show. i forgot what it was but i think its .1 deduction for every three seconds under or something. congrats to marcus. they looked and sounded awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 If that were true, then they should have had a similar significant penalty in prelims, but that didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell18 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 thats what our band director told us. maybe they slowed down in prelims, or rushed in finals. or maybe our band director is wrong. oh well. its no big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would take some major rushing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitewing09 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I thought Marcus's show was AMAZING. And I heard that Hebron did "Crank dat" like us. Does anyone know where I can see a video of that? lol different judges give different scores ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he was talking to capncrunk who is from Fossil Ridge which put feathers on the arms of their uniforms to go with their show, "The Raven".

leahholl Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I was in the Marcus band...graduate of '06. The penalty came from getting off of the field. With all of the props and pit equipment it just happened. I also think maybe one of the techs didn't have a badge? not completely sure of the last part but i know that field exit was the majority of the penalty.
