whitewing09 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I mean... it was very good but come on. They didn't win a single caption or medal in San Antonio. Let's not view things through nostalgia goggles folks. We should also note that they were 1.15 points away from first, less than 1 point from second, and .3 points from third. The margins were razor thin that year. Nny14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWHSParent Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 And that year San Antonio was 2 weeks before Grand Nationals rather than the 1 week it has been the last 2 years. Hebron, The Woodlands, Round Rock, and Keller (and Keller Central) all made very significant strides in that 2 week gap. Nny14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post principalagent Posted October 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Also the idea that they wouldn’t have won because of San Antonio results when they LITERALLY broke a record (or tied depending on a technicality) is absolutely absurd.

Let's not view things through nostalgia goggles folks. If I'm remembering correctly, in semis, they got the highest score of all time. So from a factual standpoint, they definitely could've taken it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not view things through nostalgia goggles folks. Were you there at Indy that year? Did you experience the crowd feedback to their show that they fed off of for that semi-finals run? You could just see them push harder and harder during that run, and the crowd ate it up and rewarded them. That was the real problem with them going first in finals - half the crowd wasn't there yet, and they didn't have as much feedback. They still put out one heck of a performance, but the full interaction wasn't there because the crowd was still "cold". Had they gone on even 3rd or 4th I think it would have made a significant difference. zaveryz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Any band that goes to Grand Nationals has a very looooong season, and good directors (like good coaches, etc.) are skilled at getting bands to peak at just the right time. In 2015, Hebron did exactly that. If you look at our old friends Cedar Park back in 2016 they did just that. At SA they finish 9th while Leander finishes 3rd. A week later in Indy Cedar Park finishes 5th with Leander in 6th. Hebron very well could have just gotten a lot better that one week and just come out swinging and really might have been that much better.

Don't forget (per my comment on the previous page) that in 2015 there were 2 weeks between San Antonio and Grand Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1998-2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Dare I suggest that if Hebron wasn't going to win the 2015 Eagle for their music the only other alternative was Avon's Black Gold wildcat oil drilling show. GE off the chart! The 2015 medal order still mystifies me. Nny14, LeanderMomma and AvonDad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
principalagent Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 This is unpopular in these parts but Avon 2015 is my favorite show from that year and I actually would have preferred it to win.

No wonder there is so much buzz about them. That's no bubble show this year. This time around they look more like a solid BOA SA Finalist and it could do even better at UIL. But can we talk about that Top 30 placement? That was a huge jump. /s (Just kidding, Guys. You have an impossible job.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
