FloMoParent Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 IF Argyle HS would have gone to Nats, that would have been THREE High Schools from the Town of Flower Mound!

I'm one of the extremely few people who has competed against Wester Pennsylvania's best and marched with them as well. I have competed against and marched with both Kiski and Norwin as well as competed against them both. Yeah, my parents moved around a lot. It's very hard to compare small bands when they aren't competing on "the big stages." Is Argyle excellent? Yep. But I also like to keep fantasy out of current contests. Would I have loved to see BOA Sam Antonio's finalists all attent nationals? Yeah!! But I'm also not invalidating the results with a "But if Vandergrift went they would place xxx" Enjoy the moment for what it is. Each victory is well worth it and comparing those to non-attending bands is, in my opinion, irrelevant. Have fun with semi and finals runs. It's a magical time.

People with eyes and ears can make an easy judgement call. If Norwin could play in tune with good fundamental tone quality it would be a contest, but alas.

(Argyle HS is actually in Flower Mound). But different school district. Argyle would compete well with similar sized schools. Their percussion alone would fit in with the big dogs already. They are very UIL-minded and would have to make some changes to adapt to BOA. It's just not cost effective for small schools in Texas to do both. But congrats to Argyle for becoming the leader in UIL championships all-time this week. ReveriesOp24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the first four and last four bands in semis are the "next 8" scoring bands from prelims. If that is the case, Norwin was one of the top 11 bands from their prelims day.

We were so nervous when they called them last, and I can’t wait to see them later today(hopefully twice). TWHSParent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
