BlueCircle Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 This has been my favorite contest that I’ve attended this year. Really enjoyed the stadium, how it frames the field, cushioned seats and cup holders! I also agree with the captions but not the score gap between top 2. Also, 85 sounds a little low for Keller this late in the season right? Scores are really low @ DFW and Waco compared to other competitions and compared to last year. Keller scored an 85.50 in DFW prelims last year. But they scored over Bell by a decent amount this year at DFW so I don’t think they are struggling at all. And I think that they have a ton of room left to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaiah Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 I thought scores were all relative, or do BOA judges have some sort of rubric they go by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCircle Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 I thought scores were all relative, or do BOA judges have some sort of rubric they go by? Scores are relative, judges are more focused on ordering the bands rather than giving them a specific score. A specific score doesn’t hold the same meaning year to year.

LostChoirGuy Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Well, while you shouldnt compare scores between regionals because there are prone to be some differences due to the competition and trying to order bands correctly, scores still have a relative meaning. This is how superior ratings are given at UIL and contests that do things like that. Judges know roughly what might be deserving of a 15.0 in a caption as opposed to a 16.0 or 17.0 and should hopwfully stay pretty close to that.

littlejaw Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 This was the week that Keller finally put the closer on the field right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCircle Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 This was the week that Keller finally put the closer on the field right? Probably, or it definitely seemed like it. There’s a video out there from prelims. The closer is really dirty, especially visually. But the 1 minute trombone octet accompanying the band there at the end while the drill and music is insane is probably up there as one of my favorite moments of the year.

Popular Post mmbandfan Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 It really felt like attending a concert band concert in a football stadium. They sounded so nice and pretty! Haha and great soloists! I would love to see them attend some more BOA events. J.J. Pierce absolutely stole my heart with that show. I hope they do more BOA in the future!!! As a Pearce parent I can say after last night's experience we will definitely be attending more BOA events in future years! This was kind of a trial run for us in becoming more active competitively. A Testing Trumpet, whitewing09 and gregorydf01 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog885 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Yeah, a bunch of us were worried for them when they threw the leaves during prelims, especially when the wind moved a couple. Glad they managed to get them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone see how they cleaned up the leaves? I forgot to look. Everything about Pearce’s show was absolutely beautiful! Y’all should be proud! We are all extremely proud of our group, all the more because of hardships behind the scenes. We marched both runs down several marchers including a bass drum (flu), had kids (and props) struggle with the heat, and even weathered a truck tire blowout on I-35! And yet the kids still stepped up and delivered the first BOA finals result in school history. (as far as we know) As for the leaves, each marcher was simply assigned a leaf "quota" to pick up and shove in their pockets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartanBandAlum Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Is anyone else shocked by Hendrickson in 17th? I thought they were great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCircle Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Just some thoughts I wanted to get down about this weekend: From 2017-2019 Bowie has continuously produced some of the most creative shows. And Then I Saw The Sky (I think that’s what it’s called?) is one of my favorite marching shows ever. I really hope to see them back in SA finals after just barely missing last year, and beating Keller is definitely a step in the right direction. I think it’s no surprise that Keller was very dirty here; that closer was insanely challenging and frankly this is their toughest show ever. Keller is notorious for a slow build. In 2015 our first full run of the show was at SA prelims. Last year, our first full run was in area prelims. So believe it or not, Keller is a bit ahead of schedule this season. Also, it is extremely shocking to see Hendrickson place that low. Is the show really just not connecting with the judges or did Henny go through more major transitions?

Also, it is extremely shocking to see Hendrickson place that low. Is the show really just not connecting with the judges or did Henny go through more major transitions? Your question deserves a good answer.How was a Band as Good as Hendrickson given such a low score. This set me to looking at BOA scores for certain Bands this year and I dound some interesting if not confusing scores for events. For differences of scores on Bands at Two Different BOA Contests. Iowa Regional 1. Blue Springs, Mo 82.856 2. Rosemont, MN 82.600 4. O'Fallon, IL 79.750 St. Louis Super Regional 2. Blue Springs, MO 90.720 11.Rosemont, MN 82.975 O'Fallon, IL 88.050 The question I have is how did Blue Springs jump in one month almost 8 Points. The same for O'Fallon. I have to believe that if it was because of different judges, than BOA needs to explain how Bands could jump that much at two different contests. I think the fact is that like other contests BOA judges are not always on the same sheet of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcansound Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 also factoring in Rosemount thought Oh!!! We reached success with this! Let’s change as little as possible! While other groups had the encouragement and flair to grow! And challenge themselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Samuel Culper Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 I 100% believe it is complete folly to compare scores from one contest to another. The scores are not absolute. They are a tool to rank within an individual contest, with some level of relativity, WITHIN a single contest.
