  1. Went to reply to your band post but couldn't.  I was shocked Holliday didn't win it all.  I didn't get to see Whitesboro.  Was stuck getting the wife a water.  My son was the Tenor for Brock.  It's just their 4th year of marching band.

      There were a lot of shocked folks after the final results came out!! We had competed against Mineola and Atlanta in two previous contests and finished ahead of them. Come to find out one judge gave us a terrible score in the preliminary round which killed our chances to do much better in the finals. His reasoning was he didn't like the music!! Nothing technical!!! We all thought that Holliday was one of the top performances too!! It's really frustrating because I am not a band person so I have no clue how they do the judging!! I am a retired coach so of course I want to know what the "umpire" is calling!!! LOLOL!!!

      Congratulations to your son and the Brock  band! Brock is an amazing school district!! Their success in just about every sport as well as their academics is an incredible achievement!!

      We had the same thing happen in the prelims.  One judge rated us last in every category.  I'm the same when it comes to judging.  He's our youngest of 4 and he's very gifted when it comes to music.  He decided to not play football and focus on the music.  He's only an 8th grader and 6' 200lb built like a brick.  Hate to not see him play but it's what he loves.

      We are in the same situation...our oldest grandson is a sophomore this year and he has played with the Redwater high school band since he was an 8th grader! He is also an extremely talented athlete but chose not to play football but still plays basketball and track. I really don't mind to much that he chose not to play fb. After coaching for almost 30 years I have seen so many kids get hurt, I am ok with that decision!! 

      On a football note, our teams might match up in the playoffs...I retired from Winnsboro and my best friend is the AD there. If they can get past Malakoff and you guys win I think we will play yall!
