Popular Post jmj Posted October 30, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 This is a great group- 6 will face off again at 5A State. Exciting to see Johnson and Rock Hill who were both well placed at their 5A Area contests, but weren’t enough spots. Great job Summit in the top 6!

ViewFromTheBox Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 The sun has set and the lights are on at beautiful Waco ISD stadium. The temps have dropped into the 60s. And I don’t know about you, but I am ready to watch these 12 bands throw it down on more time tonight. Quadmom68 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they're going to do fantastic though. What does "first band of the top half" mean, if you don't mind me asking? Aren't they assigned random performance order?

ViewFromTheBox Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Colleyville Heritage: I’ve gotten to see that show a lot this year. That was your best run of it this year. An underrated part is that backfield opening. Love the reverb. And Old 100th is lovely. Great job today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadmom68 Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 So we can't assume where they were ranked after prelims, we just know that they were either in top half or bottom half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ViewFromTheBox Posted October 31, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Rock Hill: If I didn’t know anything about this school and you told me this was their second year and first real competitive year, I would tell you you’re lying. It’s incredible what they’re doing on the field. Great sound. They will be a force to be reckoned with in the DFW area.

Partially, you can’t know with 100% certainty the prelims rankings based on the finals schedule but you can have a narrowed estimate. You do know that the top half placed 7th-12th in prelims and the bottom half placed 1st-6th. You don’t know where exactly they placed because within the top/bottom half those performance times are in random order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmj Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 All those rotating blocks diamonds and pass-through Rock Hill does in the opener are super! Guard also on fire with the tosses! Wow! Quadmom68 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Although technically I can piece together that Summit is at least top 5 since Hendrickson is 3A and In the top six and Summit beat them based on the announced 3A prelims top 3.

Generally yes, but you can also judge where certain bands are in the rankings based off the prelim awards. For example, since Hendrickson is in the second half of finals, we know that they are in the top 6. But because they did not place top 3 in class AAA, we know they did not place top 3 in prelims, so they could be 4-6. You can do this with other bands and get a pretty good idea of where everyone placed in prelims. Most people just stick with the bottom half top half split though since ranks tend to change a lot in those halves but rarely does a band move up to the top half or down to the bottom half.
