This kinda sucked to read…… Seriously?! Your brother laid his head down tonight with either one or two gold medals he’s earned. And that’s because CP and those kids are just about technically perfect musically and visually. There was no criticism of the kids out there. IMO that show wasn’t designed for people outside of the CP bubble, other than being extremely difficult and demanding. It just didn’t connect with me. That obviously doesn’t matter to anyone else, especially the judges lol. Congrats on their win! cdreamiing, BandAlumMom and Spitfire78 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VinoGirl Posted November 3, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 In addition to waking up with HP's Sugar Rush music in my head (b/c that was my kid's show, so it's been in my head since August), I also have Rouse's music in my head. 🙂 Again, every performance was truly outstanding yesterday, but Rouse's show was especially lovely IMO...really loved that music book! Congratulations to all the finalists and to the medalists! It was such a wonderful experience seeing all of those shows in one sitting, and seeing the full band retreat at the end. I can't wait to follow along for 6A... gregorydf01, Tubalord11 and LeanderMomma 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I like the Leander ISD shows a little more than you do but I get with where you are coming from. The same thing happens in DCI with the Blue Devils. Out of the last 8 world championships the Blue Devils have one, there's only one or two of them where I actually prefer the Blue Devils over whatever corp finished 2nd. And I'm not a BD hater, I love the Blue Devils from the 80's and 90's during my formative years of watching marching band/DCI. But the reason the Blue Devils have 13 year streak of top 2 finishes is that they consistently execute technically at an amazing level. But unfortunately amazing execution at a technical level doesn't always translate into exciting shows. Hard Core Band Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natertater21000 Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 I feel like the new judging format had a pretty good first outing. Despite there still being the traditional UIL judge who doesn't seem to be judging the same contest as everyone else, the outlier scores didn't have nearly as much of an effect on placements as other years.

True! I wonder if they added up scores (like BOA or DCI) instead of doing ordinals if anything would’ve changed in placements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to add up the raw scores from each judge, divide by 7 for an average, and then divide by 10 for an out of 100 score( similar to BOA or DCI) you would get: CP-94.8 Rouse-93.5 Leander-93.0 I didn't have time to do the remainder of the top 12 but I would imagine it would stay mostly the same. gregorydf01 and LeanderMomma 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you. The end of Leander’s ballad where the brass really swells has been constantly playing in my head since I went to bed last night. 2 hours ago, VinoGirl said: Congratulations to all the finalists and to the medalists!

I also just realised that these scores actually would make sense as a continuation of what we saw in Waco on Saturday. Obviously you can't quite compare the two in a 1-1 format, but this does bode well for all three bands making SA finals this coming weekend.

Popular Post Spitfire78 Posted November 3, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 On 11/1/2021 at 7:40 PM, ViewFromTheBox said: Legacy will get back to the state contest, I'm sure of it. The jump y'all made between 2019 and 2021 was incredible. I see a lot of where Summit was in 2017-2018 in y'all's program. Another year or two with your director, and y'all will be a force to be reckoned with. You were much better than your 10th place showing at Area F. The only thing that will hold you back is that the realignment numbers will likely push you to 6A, which will make the road to San Antonio really hard. But I think y'all can hold your own. The race to be the first MISD school to get to state a second time will be a fun one. MISD administration didn't do Summit (or partial Legacy) any favors with their "school of choice" initiative. Running off the talented directors at T.A. Howard and CTIS might have been a mistake. They seem to have mitigated it a bit by replacing them with very qualified directors and I hope they continue the culture of excellence that the Nugents and Ms. Hitz inspired. They still have Dr. Hart and the percussionists love Doc. One of the members in battery spent a lot of time with Lake Ridge and Mansfield battery at All Region Band, Orchestra, All Area auditions, MISD music theatre orchestra, etc..., but will not transfer from Summit because he won't leave Doc. Lake Ridge and Mansfield always bring it in 6A. Summit has been a success in 5A. Having Legacy and Timberview succeed and win will just add to keeping MISD a diverse and successful "Destination District". I wish nothing but success to the up and coming Legacy Bronco Band and believe that they will succeed.
