I believe this contest does a reverse prelims placement for finals order.

Is that the reverse order they finished in?

Ditto! I saw every band in prelims except  highland park(I got there right when they finished performing. Should’ve left the house sooner!😭) then watched finals with my parents(They enjoyed it!) I may need to start bringing a seat cushion 

this is how you know I’m a true marching band fan!

Wasn't there just one of each there?

Yes. I was calling it “funny” because at BOA they don’t list them out all at once even if there’s only 1 band in that class, they do them one at a time. It was different. People chuckled when the announcer called the 4A and 5A awards all at once

They were great! I could tell they have strong concert bands. And the color guard was very good, can see why they won best color guard in class 6A.

Thanks!  My oldest went to PESH and was part of the 2012 State bound band.  Then they realigned the schools and my last two went to Plano Senior.  But my heart has always been with Plano East.  I just like to see them rebuilding each year and getting better.

I’m impressed with Waxahacie’s risk taking with the triplets in the brass. It can be very easy to make those sound crunched and unclear, but they not only make every note speak but they put a great amount of shape into those phrases and balance and blend their sound very well with their fellow performers.

I see why Keller competes so well. I noticed that when they do those crescendoing phrases, they’re longer than the phrases the other bands attempt. That’s riskier as the longer the phrase goes the more likely(and easier to notice) a decay in the quality of sound can occur. And they attempt more simultaneous playing while marching.

Also that lyrical woodwind feature in the ballad was awesome! When the woodwinds play that high up, it can be easy to notice any discrepancy in the sound (like that clarinet squeak lol) but they handle it so well. Very characteristic sounds even in tougher octaves. And they shape it beautifully.
