1.) Hernando/DeSoto Central/Harrison Central has their States last week.This week was Class 1A-5A MS States. Mississippi State 6A Finals 91.725: Germantown, MS (Best M and GE) (Best CG) 90.075: Hernando, MS (Best Percussion) 89.700: DeSoto Central, MS (Best Visual)87.425: Pearl, MS 86.225: Lewisburg, MS 83.625: Clinton, MS 82.925: Oak Grove, MS 81.525: Olive Branch, MS ------Prelims Scores---------- 79.300: Petal, MS 77.400: Harrison Central, MS - that's the reason I didn't they wouldn't make finals in Jacksonville San Marcos is so cool this year they can for sure make top 3 at BOA. Ah, gotcha. Thanks for that. Interesting they're on different weekends, but even more interesting is the spread here between Hernando and Harrison Central vs. the regional. I'm used to seeing spreads in local circuits being smaller than in BOA, but it appears to be the opposite here. And then you have the fact that in St. Louis, Hernando was ahead of Germantown by 2 and a half points in prelims, and then this result afterwards. Did the two compete against each other before St. Louis by chance?

So many Mississippi bands entering the BOA world over the past few years and I'm loving it. I had known nothing about marching band in the state and several bands have been really impressive so far. Same can be said for some Tennessee and Arkansas bands we've seen pop up lately.

The Westlake medal doesnât appear to be as solidified as I thought, it appears Davis might come in and take it. Judges panel looked brutal (Dale Warren and Joel Denton were both on Music), with Green Canyonâs 7 point drop from Davis Cup last week appearing to be the norm. Insane 6 pointer from American Fork, thatâs a very impressive score based on the panel. We will see how everyone lands tonight

Watching the US Bands show on FloMarching and it looks and sounds like someone is recording it with an iPhone and streaming on Periscope. Good lord. I'd love to be fully committed to watching San Antonio all day, but I'd be a terrible Northeasterner if not tuning into this show.

Always getting in the way. BTW, did I see correctly that Glen Ridge closed an 8 point gap from last weekend on Wayne Valley down to 1.3? What on earth? Also, Group IV would be even larger if the two groups you mentioned were playing in their real classes based on membership. They are both within Group IV's size range.

When I saw BOA I thought the same thing Dartmouth looks small than last year and they were on the edge of V Open. But North Penn (PA) has been dominating every competition and so has Dartmouth (MA) been see them head to head. Love South Brunswick (NJ) full of energy different from their past but not the best as their 2016 show who are similar and Downingtown West (PA) just amazing. Smithfeld-Selma (NC) could surprise us. Group IV is crazy cuz u have Trumbull (CT) who just beat Norwalk (CT) for the first time which I didn't think it was going to happen. Edison (NJ) on top of their game. Passaic (NJ) who always does their best here usually staying in top 3. Egg Harbor (NJ) who has the cool show would have done great BOA Piscataway. Cicero North Syracuse (NY) who just won NYSFBC Nationals and Liverpool (NY), Unionville (PA) who almost made finals in Delaware. Loudoun County (VA) the best VA band in USbands only lost to Allatoona (GA), I haven't seen anything about Quakertown and West Shore (PA) so I can't say much about them. Can't wait to see scores

Fort Mill finished 5th at SC State Championship behind Wando, Brynes, Summerville, and Clover
There is no universe where Fort Mill should ever finish 5th at state and be a serious contender in BOA regionals. Fort Mill should never be lower than 3rd at the state championship level. I know Wando is next level but there is no way Fort Mill should not be neck and neck with Brynes every year.
Fort Mill finishes their season with 2 grand championships at local SC/NC competitions with no real challengers, 4th at Delaware BOA and a sad 5th place finish at 5A SC state championship. Itâs sad to see how far this program has fallen. And I donât want to hear an excuse about Covid times because Catawba Ridge and Nation Ford had far better seasons facing the same adversity.

Quite frankly, I've seen nothing but absolutely negative posts from you regarding Fort Mill all season long and the season before that and the season before that and the season before that and the season before that and the season before that..... So cut it out.

Itâs a bit weird that you would go out of your way to make a post like this. These arenât professional sports teams, theyâre high schoolers. Iâm sure theyâve worked their tails off this year. No reason to pile on them because they didnât place as highly as they have in the past in a judged activity that is SUBJECTIVE. The point of these forums is not to tear down teenagers because they didnât meet your standards of what a good band is. Chill out man.

While I agree that you do play the same sad song over and over and over again is pretty annoying⊠it is also pretty accurate. I canât say they deserved better than 5th⊠but I can say with the resources compared to almost any other school in SC (save for Wando and the other FM schools) they are wasting a lot of potential. Everything is in place to be neck and neck with Byrnes yes, but sadly the current staff is having an extremely hard time pulling it together. đ€·ââïž Itâs kind of a shame but it is what it is.

Honestly wasnât that impressed with James Logan. The individual sections sound pretty good but the show just seems like a filler show that wasnât super high energy compared to their usual caliber.
Also this audio stream by Flo is atrocious

Still can't believe some people wanted Flo.

Still can't believe some people wanted Flo. The camera angle they can't do anything about, RCC's stadium has an off-center box. As for the microphones, they've been better most of the season. I'm not sure exactly why, but they opted for one microphone, one camera setups for WBA Champs.

I can totally see why Chino Hills is in first. Fantastic percussion, Tarpon Springs level guard, excellent staging and presentation. I think last years show had a bit more sparkle but this will do.
The drill makes them look so much bigger than they actually are, similar to how Ayala used to do.
Speaking of Ayala, the old Ayala where they struggled to get out of second place would have dominated here. Opportunity, Sound Garden, even Brilliance would have crushed this field. Goes to show the impact the pandemic has had on these programs IMO.

I do wish some of SCSBOA 6A bands came today it would have been crazy competition because I do think Rancho Bernardo and Arcadia had a chance of placing higher than 5th.

If you had told me even five years ago that Mission Viejo would one day be missing 2A finals I would have thought you were crazy, but here we are.
After watching WBA's 5A finalists and SCSBOA's 6A finalists, I have to say that I much preferred what I was seeing out of SCSBOA. I was a bit surprised by that revelation. I don't know if it's a matter of style or approach, but I thoroughly enjoyed Rancho Bernardo, Arcadia, and El Dorado. It is also interesting to see just how far under the member count some of these groups are that are competing in the top two divisions.
