borchnork Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 wow, Shocking that Waxahachie didn't make finals. I remember seeing them 2 weeks ago at Little Elm and they were doing REALLY well. that's pretty insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ridge emily Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 So here's how it went down in Area A Azle and Saginaw tied for first RP 16 16 Boswell RP 20 Fossil Ridge RP 24  Azle - 1 2 4 7 2 = 16  Saginaw - 5 6 1 1 3 = 16  Boswell - 2 5 7 2 4 = 20  Ridge - 10 8 2 3 1 = 24  Springtown - 3 4 3 9 5 = 24  Fossil Ridge tied Springtown and won by judges preference..... Looks like Ridge barley squeaked in over Springtown   hmm and yet we were first after prelims and the only reason we didnt win was b/c two judges from el paso didnt like our show theme!!!so yea....

Â well some judge obviously did to have broken the tie to get you to state. Â sorry that comes off a little harsh, but yah, it's true. Â Anyways, you still have another shot to prove yourself to Azle, and it's the one that actually counts. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomizzer Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Area ESorry I do not have all the results, only got a glance at the scoring. The results were unprecedented, from what I heard the State had to be contacted, took 45+ minutes to do the scores. Advancing to State Brenham with a score of 11 Foster with a score of 13 Seven Lakes with a score of 13 Waller with a score of ?? (13 I would guess) Â That's right 4 of 6 bands qualifying for state. Really bizarre Scores, Brenham 3 2 1 2 3 (11) Foster 4 4 3 1 1 (13) Seven L 1 1 5 4 2 (13) Waller 2 3 2 3 4 (14) Waltrip 5 5 4 6 5 (25) Terry 6 6 6 5 6 (29) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we rocked finals, no tears, perfect drill.. our best performance yet, about 20 times better than our performance in prelims but the 2 judges not from the metroplex had a different idea of what a band should sound like and gave us 8th and 10th.. so i kind of get where emily is going with her post. Honestly, our placement doesnt upset me that much.. we had an AMAZING show and thats all that matters. plus we got 1st in marching so im pretty excited about that.

borchnork Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 wow. that 5th judge really didn't like Sherman at finals. Â I also find it slightly humorous that we made changes to the show in order to impress the first judge. It obviously worked (went from getting 10th to 3rd) but in the process we lost all the other judges spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefunctSim Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I was about to respond to that saying that they changed up the judges, two of them switching between music and marching, but then I remembered that judge 1 stayed the same . I'm getting this info from the schedules they handed out yesterday at the competition. My mom got one and I read all the stuff on it for like 15 minutes out of giddiness. Grats everyone that made it!

Ern3sto09 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 The judge that gave Sherman a 6th in Marching had seen us earlier this year at the Mesquite Marching Festival, so he had an idea of what our show should look like i guess... and apparently he wasn't as impressed as everyone else in the stadium But he gave us 1st in music... so I guess that shows we have improved greatly on music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 mm, ok that explains a lot actually. Â What is more shocking to me is Joshua's results. Â two 9th's and a first? uhmmm...? Don't get me wrong, I really liked Joshua's show (from what I could see) but such a wide range is rather off. I actually wouldn't have given them 9th at all, probably 5th or 6th.

Ern3sto09 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah... I was surprised by Joshua getting 9th and 1st... That kinda shows you the problem with judging But hopefully the state judging will be a "Tabula rasa" (clean slate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borchnork Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 you know... this whole judging thing is making me think (and this is going to sound completely off and random...): Â What if the State Marching Contest was a T.V.

Lilikoiluver Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 um well sorry that you werent there and dont know what went down but heres my opinion on everything.. we did absolutely HORRIBLE in pre-lims and were pretty scared about even making finals and we ended up in first place with saginaw, azle, and boswell all in the bottom 5. Â Hmmm... Well I was there. And you're right your prelims were awful. I heard that you made first place - how wonderful for you - however, the finals were done by draw and not ranking. In prelims Azle was 4th; Saginaw 5th and Boswell 9th. Looks like the luck is that the rumors weren't true and one of the bands didn't pull out. I feel badly for Springtown I thought they were the first place band of the evening! Â Just sign me an informed parent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected better, if not, positive comments, especially from a parent. Even posters who are 15 and 16 would never say that, and it shows the maturity you are placing. Â I'm becoming more interested in this topic by all the negative comments and defending each other, etc. Â 4A State will be more of a dogfight the way I'm seeing it.

GenericWit Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I'm looking forward to seeing as many bands as possible.
