LKendrick Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Frisco Centennial's on youtube, they sound great and are very clean visually, could definitely see them in state finals. kaylaamccullough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKendrick Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Full results here: https://www.uiltexas.org/music/marching-band/area Man, judge 2 in finals with Wakeland. Cost them 1st for sure, thankfully the others were consistent and it didn't cost them a state spot. band_junkie and takigan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX_Band Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 1-2-10 Should never happen. Ever. You can't have two judges tell you you are 1st or 2nd and one 10th out of 10. That is an impossibility, yet it happens all the time with UIL. They need to drastically overhaul the system and some of these retired band directors need to go away. Good thing it didn't keep a deserving band from advancing but it could have and the fact the UIL continues to allow it to happen over and over again and not address it is a travesty. Congrats to all the bands who advanced. band_junkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
band_junkie Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 At least their other scores were good enough so they could advance. We'll have to wait and see what happens at state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
band_junkie Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I am so bummed I couldn't see the performances for myself! Does anyone know if all of the bands that advanced to state (5A-AreaB) will perform at the SA Bands of America this weekend before the State competition?

oagcplayer Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Let me start by saying I have "no dog in the hunt".The judge who rated Wakeland at #10 should be suspended or entirely removed from UIL judging in the future. As someone else stated, you cannot have 1,2,10. If there was talk about any "bad feelings" and something like this happens, it only fuels the fire for the future. If a judge cannot put aside some personal grudge against someone, and most importantly, not negatively affect 250+ students because of that grudge, they have no business being allowed to judge. And if you look at the actual score, that judge had Wakeland rated WAY lower than anyone else in music. Makes you wonder if this judge has done in the past to any other schools or directors. Maybe UIL should look into this a little bit? TexasTromboner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
