Should we be talking national semifinals with Vista Ridge? Not sure they’ll even make it out of preliminaries. OK at this point I’m starting to think this is personal to Katy Perry. The band is amazing and the only thing anyone complains about in regards to this show is the music. Maybe if we posted you to twitter for her millions of followers to eat you alive… or you could just stop. Are you not a fan of Teenage Dream? It was THE album of the 2010’s if you forgot. Or maybe just the song? If you have bad memories in regards to E.T. maybe the Kanye West Remix is for you. We’re you in middle school when E.T. came out? Must’ve been a rough patch, eh? :/ All good jokes but fr get over yourself, the Vista Ridge band is amazing and if you aren’t cool with the design that’s fine but PLEASE stop taking it out on the kids. Students and parents are on these forums and see every word you say. I’ll be (comfortably) sitting in the 400’s Saturday evening watching Vista Ridge in National Finals. Would love to see you there to cheer them on after overcoming all the nasty comments made about them this year! I’m cracking up. I’m now a supporter of the “just hates Katy Perry, not Vista Ridge” theory 100%

Whoops! Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant the recap sheet that lists out the raw numbers and judges, kind of like the version that someone posted of prelims earlier in the thread. I don't believe UIL releases those publicly, only to the directors of the finalist bands. Maybe one of the members from those bands can post it here but otherwise you might be out of luck. Ah, gotcha. I did not realize that. Thanks for the info!

I heard Hebron brass was something like 998/1000??? If that’s true that’s legitimately insane. I can’t wrap my head around it.

While I'm admittedly not the most experienced band nerd on the block I consider Hebron's brass these last few years to be the greatest of all time. Brass is arguably the only category that has any significant consensus when it comes to the question of who is the best in the nation right now, and that's been Hebron for some time. Dallas must have something strange in the drinking water to produce so many great players.

Hebron. Greatest show of all time for me. That is how you marching band. Wow. ! We were just talking about you at the SA SR Good to see you haven't completely forgotten about us Of course I have not forgotten about you all here! I have just been a bit...removed...from a lot of things lately. College plus a lot of personal things going on right now. When I have the time I will be on. My focus is less on band and more on weather right now naturally as that is what I am going to school for at the moment. I will try to pop in a bit more often though, I miss having great conversations with y'all.

CTJ falling from 1st to 8th in one year... I know there were more players this time but ouch I've seen CTJ's show many times this year, and it looked to me like they had some technical issues. There was a whole piano part that was left out, and I don't think it was by design.

Dallas must have something strange in the drinking water to produce so many great players. Every section was ridiculous this year, arguably their weakest section being their trademark in the mellos this year, that’s just how good the low brass and trumpets were, and their capabilities as a whole brass ensemble in having both such lush sounds when need be, to biting, powerful, but whole in their tone when going into the extremes of their upper dynamic range, not to mention their technical sections are just insane!! Often they leave me with the most emphatic of impressions of any band any given season just ‘cause of how crazy good they sound! You don’t really see it that often a band start out a show cold to immediately trying to bust a crack in a stadiums foundations to start a show out👀 I’m always looking forward to seeing them in my area in DFW contests whenever I can every year! Haven’t been to any late season contests for several years but I’m definitely gonna try to go to San Antonio next year!

From what I heard the only reason that they didn't receive a perfect score was because there were five bands left to perform after them and the judge had to give those programs the benefit of the doubt just in case they somehow had a better run than that. The judge was just completely astounded too. Take that piece of information with a grain of salt, though.

Do bands ever tie in a caption in UIL, or do the judges make sure they award different scores for every band? (I'm not very familiar with UIL scoring, but I'm assuming the judges assign a score and then the ordinals are figured out later right?)

Turfday was the only Vista Ridge naysayer and the results (12th at BOA SA and 11th at 6A State) speak for themselves. He did lay it on pretty thick though lol

Can we just ignore the “Vista Ridge is bad” guy? he's gone I mean while it’s acceptable to have an opinion that may not be favorable towards certain programs, is a national forum really the place to state those opinions repeatedly? People like that are annoying. All of these kids work their butts off and no one on the internet has the right to say that they don’t deserve the success. Personally, I think Vista Ridge is really good and no one will convince me otherwise. Sorry if I’m overstepping here, it’s just very frustrating to watch and not say anything.
