Rubisco Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 I'm curious to see where CTJ ends up at this contest. Their visual program is very difficult, and it showed early in the season. BOA didn't care so much, but I'm wondering if UIL will. I'm sure they're cleaner now, but they started off at a disadvantage, I think. Does anybody have the prelims placements?

I think they'll be fine. It's not anywhere near as dirty as 2016, and they play very well. I'd be very shocked if they didn't advance.

I have a feeling that the top two are extremely close. Maybe someone swept Music. Maybe a different program swept Marching. I don't know. I'm just a fool.

A Testing Trumpet Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 For reference, in 2016 when CTJ opted out of Finals and had a difficult visual program, they placed 5th in prelims. Baring any unforeseen events I have very little doubt that they will advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubisco Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 My fear isn't that they won't advance. It's that they might get kicked down a spot or 2 by groups that you wouldn't expect to beat them. But, looking at the list of competing bands, I can't imagine any group other than maybe James Bowie doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the war in this case is state. CTJ understands that and will continue cleaning. A Testing Trumpet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Testing Trumpet Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I do think it is rather interesting CTJ went for such a visually demanding show on a State year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTJ understands that and will continue cleaning. Oh, of course, but these events can be bellwethers. Well, actually, now that I think about it, UIL Area events are pretty weak bellwethers, to say the least. A Testing Trumpet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2013 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Then they get beat by those groups. It's about winning the war, not the battle. And the war in this case is state. CTJ understands that and will continue cleaning. Exactly advancing at this point is the main goal tonight, live to fight another day because the likely chance CTJ misses finals at state is slim to none. For groups like Hendrickson and Cedar Ridge, the goal is to make it in that top 6 if they win great but every band kid is hoping to play at state.

Dog885 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Man, I did not expect the 2 finalists that aren’t the Big 8 to be Hays and Smithson Valley. Good for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2013 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Man, I did not expect the 2 finalists that aren’t the Big 8 to be Hays and Smithson Valley. Good for them! Me Too! but Hays isn't playing this season they look great and are clean they could be a real threat to that 6th spot which is a real surprise.

Kenneth Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Can someone tell me how a band is allowed to warm up on the field? Yeah, from the announcer script on the UIL website: NOTE TO DIRECTORS: The 8-minute clock will begin when the full 5-minute clock expires. Warm-up or pre-show is permitted during the 5-minute set-up time; however,judges will be instructed to not begin their evaluation until the 8-minute clock shows 7:59. If you do not wish to utilize the entire 5-minutes of set-up you may hold your band at the field entrance to coordinate your ready time with the beginning of the announcement.
