LeanderMomma Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 We are here. Waiting on final announcements for the 3 moving on. Vista had the entire stadium in the palm of their hands tonight. I can't wait for the rest of the state to experience Vista's show.

Omega Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Are DMs on the field yet? I thought UIL for area prelims and finals and state prelims didn't have anyone on the field? I could be wrong though.

typoztypoz Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 1. Vista Ridge 2. Vandegrift 3. West lake 4. Leander All four advance to state, as announced on PA at stadium. typoztypoz and Magma31651 2
Popular Post principalagent Posted October 28, 2018 Popular Post Posted October 28, 2018 The slight bright side is that there’s a decent chance that a 4th place band could slide in on judge’s preference. Specifically, two 3rd place votes in music and a 3rd place vote in marching will move a band onto state anyway. But let’s hope that doesn’t have to be a formulation we need to hope for. I. Am. Too. Good. LeanderMomma, Omega, whitewing09 and 1 other 4
Danpod Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 They took 4 to state! This is lovingly called the Bad Judge Rule: In addition, in contests advancing three or more bands, any band that receives a ranking of three or higher from two music judges and one marching judge shall also advance to the state contest.
LeanderMomma Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 And Westlake over took Leander They definitely appeal more to UIL. But so happy Leander was included.
justabandkid94 Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Man. I want to see those ordinals Omega 1
A Testing Trumpet Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Can I just say... WOW VISTA RIDGE!!! PLC137 and LeanderMomma 2
principalagent Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Time for some history booking! For the entire history of the Area, the same four bands have advanced to the State Marching Contest. Yes, I know there have only been two such competitions. The bad judge rule is rare, but not too rare. It was used in 6A last cycle in Area A, to advance four instead of three bands. Congratulations to Vista Ridge for their second Area win! Their first was in 2013, where they also won prelims, beating Vandegrift and Leander. What a FANTASTIC season for them! Westlake will make its next appearance at the state marching contest. They seem to work on a pattern. State, but no finals 04/14, miss completely 06/16, and state finals in 08 and...
justabandkid94 Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I believe for a few cycles, there was also a trend of the 2nd or 3rd place band in this area going on to take the state title. CP 11, Vandegrift 13, CP 15, if memory serves right. This precedes the change to 6A classification, but still interesting nonetheless!* *I also realize Cedar Park was not at this contest today bandmom1823 1

They were 7th in prelims and 4th in finals, taking the last spot. You never know how things will end up!

UTM Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Wow Westlake! Really did not see that coming... excited for state
Nny14 Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Wow Westlake! Really did not see that coming... excited for state They've kinda fallen off the BOA scene, but they play and march very well. I think some new direction design wise could help them return to being consistent regional finalists. I had a feeling they would pull off an upset tonight.
Hard Core Band Fan Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 And Westlake over took Leander Can't wait to see the sheets on this one...

Wow. What are the chances of that? It's as if it was planned that way huh? Amazing...
Stefen Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Yay brandeis got 6th in finals!Thunk about it this is their first year with a new director!
Mash Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I know the bands advancing to state get a lot of deserved attention but I am really proud of the NISD schools. Well done! Agreed! Jkuosc 1
Mash Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Judge 3 in Finals didn't seem to like Vista and agree with the others. Interesting to see the differences between them,
LeanderMomma Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Judge 3 in Finals didn't seem to like Vista and agree with the others. Interesting to see the differences between them, I saw that. Must have been blind AND deaf!
