Personally thought they had a great run! I will admit, I think they lacked a decent amount of Dynamics and there weren’t any moments on the stream at least that got me all excited, so I’m guessing so. Im still surprised they were that low but we should hopefully see some improvement tomorrow, probably just individually stuff we couldn’t here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were definitely stronger visually than they were musically. (I'm surprised they weren't outright first in ensemble visual. 1st in execution, but 10th in content, which is baffling to me coming from the BOA system.) Anyway, musically, they seemed a little fatigued compared to area videos, and they definitely didn't project the full, rich ensemble sound of groups like Marcus and Flower Mound, for example. Soloists had rough runs, too. But, their music ordinals are still quite a bit lower than I would have had them. Not sure what to make of it for BOA this week and next! packwick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UIL has always been cooler on The Woodlands compared to BOA. I don't think they have ever medaled at state, which is crazy considering their success at SA and Nationals.

packwick Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 so it looks like we'll likely be seeing Hoskins in brass tomorrow, Brooks in perc. Davis and Fugett id guess in either ens music or design, Wessels in woodwinds?? not sure about that one. one of the vis judges from today should return but Miller will join him as a new judge in either ens or ind vis. sooo mostly a new panel. josephbandfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bands effort is not devalued simply because you’re “tired” of seeing them in finals. They’re there for a reason. Fix your attitude.

Dallas Hobbs Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Well I got 12/14 finalists right so yay for me lol. I couldn’t really figure out who be those last one or two. 12 out of 14 of last year’s returning finalist returned to state and made finals, one of them was first out. So cool to see programs maintain such a high standard year to year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you followed this thread earlier in the day, you would have seen comments of Waxahachie being disqualified for exceeding the time limit. It was decided that they would not be disqualified or penalized in any way by a panel. Even though the UIL rules state - as listed under Section 1105 shall apply to the state marching band contest with the following exception: Any Band that leaves the field in less than five minutes or fails to complete its performance in eight minutes shall be disqualified. they have used this rule to disqualify programs in the last 10 years that I have been involved with UIL. I am not saying that Waxahachie should be excluded after they were announced as a finalist - but if you are going to ignore your own rule, to make concessions for them you should also make concessions for CTJ and add a 15th finalist to the event. at the end of the day, if you have a rule, it needs to be enforced or done away with.

I 1000th% concur. Rules are rules and can't pick and choose when to apply them especially when it's black and white. I most definitely agree ! Only way to fix it is add 15th to finals and go back to enforcing this rule immediately! lost, JMR2022 and Miyazuu 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned by a waxahachie parent/member that UIL supposedly allows for a margin of error within 2-3 seconds. Supposedly, waxahachie was just under those two seconds, allowing for them to remain in the competition. If that's true, it's probably an unspoken clause that UIL doesn't mention to avoid abuse or it's a case by case basis dependent on how the higher ups are feeling that day. I'm not sure where you're idea of "adding CTJ to finals as 15th place" is coming from. Adding a finalist spot and keeping a band who went 2 seconds over are very different magnitudes. Waxahachie performed well, many saw them as a finalist lock. Respectfully, and or course my own opinion, CTJ not making finals isn't very shocking. Their show and their performance is good but this entire season it felt like a strong performance from another band could knock them over, and that's what seemed to happen. Plus, UIL doesn't seem to favor their show style, we can see this from previous year results. They cut a minute or so away to preshow because the show is made for a BOA circuit.
