Ngl Churchill was really at a disadvantage for these results. We were the only finalist band who performed in the heavy rain. We had no mics so our front ensemble and synth were non existent as well as woodwind soloists. We also had many people whose instruments were messed up before we even started because as we were walking over to perform we were getting poured on. Also pretty much everyone with glasses was marching blind due to the rain. A lot of us were really mad we didn’t get a redemption run to show the judges what we could really do.

I remember chaperoning with Vista Ridge at BOA Dallas in 2012 and then again at BOA Austin in 2013 and the same thing happened and did not do well enough to make finals.    The heavy rain has a large affect on the band it's a shame for the band to not be able to present fully as they are able.   But with these things the bands have to do the best they can under the circumstance.  Churchill can hold their heads high on a great performance and doing so even with the rain.   They still also ranked well in the competition and that is quite a accomplishment given the rain!

Man that really sucks, they absolutely should've squeezed a second run for y'all in before awards
