It's my opinion, and I stand by it. No one has to agree with it. This is the last time I'm saying this. I'm not involved with any band, I'm just fans like most of you, and have been so for years. Edit: Thanks for the laugh reaction, real mature. If you're going to call me out indirectly, don't act surprised when I respond back directly! Edit 2: And now you removed it! Very clever...

It's amazing to realize these performers are simply kids with responsibilities and lives outside of this yet they work so hard for what they do and make the activity so fun. I'm so proud of the progress some of the bands have made and it's only the first competition for some. Additionally, a lot of members of bands read these posts and see what adults are saying and it tends to be hurtful or aggrevating to feel like your placement wasn't fair. My partner and I were those same kids just a few years back so we know the trend continues. Competitiveness has it's place on the field, not an on online fourm with grown adults to be arguing about rankings or unfair judgement. 100% agree with this, during my first contest last season (HEB) we had a very rough finals run and it was really disheartening to see all of the speculation about how we'd do late season. A band is allowed to have a run that's not locked in, and it's better for that to happen sooner rather than later. I have no doubt Leander will bounce back by the end of the season- even after a rough showing at Austin last year they managed to deliver an outstanding product and I definitely think this year won't be too different. Tl;dr band is fun and scores are just the opinions of some judges who are given the misfortune of having to rank/rate some pretty incredible bands.

If you're going to call me out indirectly, don't act surprised when I respond back directly! The comment is a general statement and display of placement trends between prelims and finals, not some kind of subtweet. This kind of behavior happens in both BOA and DCI, just a few months ago people were arguing BD doesn't deserve a championship title and the judges have no skill. In both activities behavior such as this is unsavory and unnecessary to both spectators and performers. Like all participants on this forum, everyone is entitled to their opinion and everyone is able to respond to such opinions whether that's "direct" or a general statement like my previous comment. The world continues to spin on its axis no matter what the judges decide and at the end of the day the activity is about the students involved, not us on these forums. I hope you have the day you deserve and that you enjoy the rest of your weekend! As Courtney said on the field, back to bands! 🥰 Edit: Yes, I did react with a laugh and shortly removed it. I full recognize and admit it was an immature action. It's important to practice as you preach and said action was unnecessary for something so trivial. I apologize if you were upset by it!

Have the day you deserve as well, and don't put words in other people's mouths! Happy Sunday 🥰 Edit: I wasn't upset about it, I just thought it was funny in an ironic way for you to do that. I'm having a great laugh. You do you though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
