Bandwoww Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 That would make way more sense than their not making finals at all. ??? I might me confused about what you are saying but Keller made finals. Quote
Bandwoww Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I know Hebron, Cedar Park, and Keller had some kindof rough prelims performances so I hope they get another chance. Quote
LeanderMomma Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 ??? I might me confused about what you are saying but Keller made finals. Ohhh duh. I’m still focused on and shocked at COPPELL not making finals. I have been confusing those two all day, tho. Sorry! Bandwoww 1 Quote
principalagent Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Nobody dropped - Jeremiah Wooten just has bad information wtxbd02 and Bandwoww 2 Quote
Bandwoww Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Yeah....I would be shocked to see a band drop this finals competition.... Quote
littlejaw Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I don’t know about y’all but I’ll be here as long as it takes for everyone to perform. Quote
LeanderMomma Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Nobody dropped - Jeremiah Wooten just has bad information He probably is still detoxing from all the sugar and chocolate he ate at BOA Austin last Saturday. Quote
FloMoParent Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 The word is the show is cancelled. My wife is there and she just texted me that it was Quote
ValveOil Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Yep—finals cancelled. Does this mean prelims scores are put as the finals scores or... Quote
josephbandfan Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I’m so sad. We were all back in line ready for a show Quote
Bandwoww Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I know Hebron, Cedar Park, and Keller had some kindof rough prelims performances so I hope they get another chance. BUMMMER Ughhhhhhhhh Quote
littlejaw Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 The all clear horn has sounded, but I guess BOA gave up on trying to get the show on. Quote
meursault Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I’m a bit surprised coppell didn’t advance, but i don’t know who I would trade them out with. Ugh. Such a tough contest! Quote
Bandwoww Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Finals was going to be AWESOME. I think we were going to see some MAJOR improvements. I wouldn’t take prelims results as gospel. Quote
principalagent Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 The all clear horn has sounded, but I guess BOA gave up on trying to get the show on. The show would have gone past midnight. Gotta know when to fold them. Quote
littlejaw Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 The show would have gone past midnight. Gotta know when to fold them. It would have been just past midnight. And I don’t see anything wrong with that. Quote
Bandwoww Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 It just sucks cause the weather seemed to clear up and there were a lot of people waiting to get in. I bet the kids were ready to have and all-out performance. Quote
aaron067 Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Props all got wet. Even if they were dried off the turf was still wet, and that moisture would have transferred to props. Also, the judges' critique meetings start at 7 am in the morning. Quote
principalagent Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Thirty minutes for Wakeland to warm back up plus two and a half hours for performances plus 15 for Forney (perhaps) and 15 for tabulation. Even with a cut retreat, that's pushing 1 AM. I can stay up until 4 AM for band but some of these kids have been going since early this morning and two bands have long bus rides back overnight. It's not ideal, but I understand why BOA called it anyway. NTxBandMom8 and FloMoParent 2 Quote
NTxBandMom8 Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Yep—finals cancelled. Does this mean prelims scores are put as the finals scores or... I think it means Wakeland brought the clouds and won by having the only non-exhibitions 2 minutes in finals. ⛈⚡️☔️ Sorry. Just trying to bring some levity to the situation. Rain is no fun. Quote

Also, the judges' critique meetings start at 7 am in the morning. Speaking of which....I hope someone reminds Wakeland to get the rest of their clouds off the field. They had to leave them behind when evacuating. Maybe they should leave those at home for the next show..... Quote
Bandnerd03 Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I think it means Wakeland brought the clouds and won by having the only non-exhibitions 2 minutes in finals. ⛈⚡️☔️ Sorry. Just trying to bring some levity to the situation. Rain is no fun. Speaking of Wakeland, they never should've been allowed to take the field. It was obvious to anyone with eyes and access to radar that it was unsafe. How close does lightning have to be before they clear the stands? Quote
