What I saw from Vandegrift in Area 6a H finals last night was just something else, when I first saw their show I did not like it at all, but their performers are forcing me to love it through their precision and level of skill they displayed on the field last night

I kinda think they will win state again this year.

Don’t ask. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I have no experience with this network, I guess that’s fortunate by the sounds of the comments on here. There’s a first time for everything, though. I guess I’ll go with the bad quality versus not being able to watch it at all.

Absolutely I would do the same in your shoes Momma!  🩷🩷

Sometimes, oftentimes, excellence is an effect.

I broke down today and will watch NFHS for this. 😬 I guess they saw me nosing around their website and sent me a coupon for 33% off.  One month it is!  
 

Since Box5 is a bit unreliable lately, guess you’ll have to go to GNs!

Yes, NFHS is the worst platform for marching band events. They truly don't care. Playing a commercial in the middle of a performance is no big deal to them. These are sports people and all band stuff is just background noise. They almost make me appreciate Box5 and FloMarching. Almost. It's cheap, though. $12 a month. And it's cheap because it sucks.

I cancelled my NFHS subscription last year after state prelims after I saw how trash it was. I want box5 back 😭😭😭

Finals draw is posted. Of the likely Finalists, Vandy is 1st. The Woodlands also early.

Ronald Reagan, Vista Ridge and Pearland at the other end.

didn't they do a bottom half top half split last yr? in which case it'll likely be vandy, tw, and hebron one right after the other to start the final half.

Shocked cedar ridge folded...what happened?!

I can only chalk it up to weird judging. Moon gave them 9th/10th for prelims/finals whereas the other judges had more realistic placements. I think that sunk them just outside of qualifying, their performance was arguably better than some of the others last night. Definitely gonna be weird to not see them at state given last year. It's a shame they couldn't defend any of their previous titles (1st Katy, 1st Perc State, 3rd State Finals) this year.

Vandy > Woodlands > Hebron to start finals night would certainly be a bottom heavy segment. I'd be interested to experience the energy of the students given they're right after one another.

Moon also gave Austin High 5th for visuals in prelims when they got 14th-16th from every other judge for everything else. Unusual judging for sure.
