    Totally okay with this overall marching band list. I would have absolutely put Hebron over Carmel due to GE music effect but other than that,…. Oh yeah Marcus! 🤘. Marcus over TWHS if this was SMBC week. Lol.
    Keep up the thoughtful and great marching arts content.

      ​@@kbuddy1Yes, Avon 100% won imo. Hebron then Carmel should have been close behind though. Then there should have been a gap followed by the other 3 In a second tier. It is tough to judge though, because there is a very different approach between the Midwest bands and the southern bands. I just go with what hits me in the feels. I personally love the theatrics and visuals BS and Avon throw out there, and no one touches Hebron musically. Carmel is impressive, but they do get a lot of the benefit of the doubt.

    • @6band
      @6band  9 місяців тому

      I mean… that doesn’t exactly tell the full story. SA finals was was super inflated. The Woodlands beat Marcus and They got 5th (should have been 4th). The Woodlands snagged a score 2 points lower than SA finals in finals. But also Hebron scored higher than Marcus in nats semis too, and they also placed 1st in a deflated prelims. So for those reasons I put Hebron above (Also I personally prefer them due to how ridiculously difficult their show is)

How difficulty in show, marcus and Hebron tied for 1st, vandy 2nd. Personal opinion obviously and BoA SA scores this year were stupid. Having Spotlight beat pen striped is absurd. I just think since In final competition that marcus and Hebron were in together marcus won, than it should be one in front of if not one behind Hebron. Other than that very solid list.

      The movements were more contemporary and 'earthy', which I find super interesting. The entire show is about how each person is unique and makes an imprint on the world, thus the swirl marching patterns that mimic a fingerprint. The talent of each band had me awestruck but the Blue Springs show has a lot of depth to the story and movements. Id never seen anything like that in a marching performance before.

      I did this based on my personal opinions and what would happen in BOA events, both lean Rouse hard. Rouse is 4/4 in BOA runs this season over Cedar Park, and the beat them by over 3.5 points in SA prelims and finals, sweeping 3A. And in my own personal opinion which usually breaks ties or super close decisions, I also lean Rouse pretty big.
