2023 Thunder in The Hills Dripping Springs Drumline Contest

[seafoodbuffet]

Interesting lineup including Hebron coming down from the DFW area and defending champion Coppell. I wonder why Cedar Ridge doesn’t attend/get invited, surely they’d do quite well at this contest?

im assuming coppell will do some crazy show again and end up winning again and sweeping most captions. i think last year the spread between them and vandy who got second was like 2 points lol.

Here is the schedule.   Lots big hitters (and now Hebron also as seafoodbuffet stated) will be interesting to see how this play's out!   I love how the groups are classified a bit differently than UIL and BOA with Cedar Park competing with the Advanced Large Group.  CP has done very well in the past competing at this level in this contest.

So far I have only seen the results from the Advanced Large group.   Coppell won for the 2nd year in a row and Vista Ridge and Vandegrift tied for 2nd but based on Social Media Postings it looks like Vandegrift received the tie breaker so they got 2nd and Vista 3rd with Hebron 4th and Cedar Park 5th to round out the top 5.

 

If anyone has the full recap and ordinals for the contest please post them.

For a second I thought you meant social media postings was used as the tie breaker, which would have really pissed me off.

 I think the story of this competition is Coppell dominance. They were sure fun to watch in person.

Yea, that would have pissed me off as well.  Sorry for the confusion, should have been clearer.   I saw some postings with the placement for Vista so took the results of the Tie Breaker from that information.
