goombatrony Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 9 minutes ago, Dallas Hobbs said: Top half is the top 7 scoring bands from prelims (1st-7th), bottom half is the next 7 (8th-14th). This determines performance order. Bottom half finalists perform first in random order then the Top half perform last in random order I didn't even know that was a thing. And how do we know this without any score sheets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band1234556 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 The finalists are announced in random order, the order which they go in is always top half and bottoms half( they might say it’s random but it’s not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought everything was in random order? BOA started using a top half/bottom half split for finals back in 2016. Gehrig4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band sof America splits are set by score for finals. Top half 1-7 are the top seven scoring bands, but they go in random order.

I got 5/7 right in the top half, and 4/7 right in the bottom half. You are really good at predictions!!! Dallas Hobbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly would have been in the conversation for finals as well I was just referencing the several DFW bands missing today from OP’s post haha Pearland has been a consistent finalist like every band I mentioned the last several years and are fantastic again this year, can’t imagine how much more difficult this contest could’ve been👀 Gehrig4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
