    While these predictions were very wrong in the end, at least I went 12/12 on finalists, and if you take prelims scores only, I did pretty damn well at the top lol. Congrats to Avon!

      Tough to say, probably depends on music GE, personally I think Vandy was better but it’s probably 50/50 if they would agree with me or not

    26:31 I’m an Arlington student and “idk that’s where I’ve got them” is the realest shit ever our director talked about how no one knew who we were so we should just play good and I guess it worked out I am surprised that my band tied with Bartlett but I think that’s mostly cause their double tonguing trumpet thing was just rough and also early ass call time

    Bentonville Band marcher first year of marching and first time making finals! Great year for band all around, so many good shows that were very impressive. Going into this year we hoped to just make semis because last time we went (2021) we only got prelims so making finals was a HUGE surprise for us. Probably one of the best times ever in my opinion where you meet so many wonderful people and go into a delightful environment where everyone is having a good time and it’s all fun and games when not on the field. I love this community and hope it gets even better as time moves on.

    Brownsburg Marcher here! I wish we got a better score, considering our semis was 92, which dropped 3 points, but considering the really competitive year BOA had, I’m glad we got the chance to even get into finals, because everyone at the beginning of the season didn’t think we would get into finals. I’m glad to experience 2 years in a row getting into finals.

    As a tuba from Morton, not Norton, we had a great year, 18th place (school record), and I’m actually pretty happy that you recognized us from a small town in central Illinois, and if we didn’t get the 18th place that we somehow got, I would’ve most definitely taken a 21st place

      @@jemps6633 That's great that bands of their size are getting some recognition however I honestly believe the flashiness and money going into a show unfortunately often decides whether a band makes it to finals or not. I personally haven't seen a band spend as much money on a show as Dartmouth, with their DCI costumes and reliably fancy props. Not to put down their band at all, they clearly work very hard and are a very talented group, but it helps that they have quite a bit of funding going into their program.

      and my argument in the vid was Hebron won GE over both of them in UIL and Vandegrift’s total GE was 58.5 in SA. If Hebron goes 58.5 in Nats finals they end up scoring a 97.3, beating Carmel and narrowly losing to Avon. So I’m not sure I understand the drop off.
