We'll get them after finals results are announced. Personally, I'm a big fan of not knowing full prelims results until after finals as it makes the finals retreat more exciting.

Only caught the last half of whiteface but HOLY COW was that a wonderful performance!

Wonderful show, Whiteface! Great use of the electric guitars. Also, they are listed with 103 performers, the most of any 1A group today. Would be curious to know if everyone at the school is in the band as for the last realignment they turned in an enrollment 88. They've got a good shot of at least heading back to West Texas with a medal.

Only a one point difference between Menard and Irion County.

Important to note that Menard is on their second director change since they won state in 2021.

Last year they were unable to even field a show...

 

Incredible.
