vacon3` Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Woodlands, College Park, Oak Ridge, Klein, Dawson, Spring, and Pearland are all in the running. Some goods bands wont advance in this region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snares Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I think the rezoning did a better job overall of spreading out the competition to give some bands a chance that originally had a much harder time getting into the conversation. I agree with the Woodlands and College Park, I think Klein and Dawson might just be a little ahead of Oak Ridge. I live up in North Texas so I don't know too much but all of the under ground recordings are making me lean towards those two. I don't know much about Spring, I remember hearing stories about them from the early 90s when they were champions of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandperson1997 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 My top 6 rankings 1) Woodlands 2) College Park (This band has improved so much recently!) 3) Oak Ridge 4) Pearland 5) Klein 6) Spring (Used to be a mega powerhouse in the 80s-00s, I personally think their lower placements recently is a combination of a changing student body in terms of income, and a shortage of district funding) 7) Dawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srp2007 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Saw both Spring and North Shore at the region 33 contest. North Shore sounds great and has a good chance of doing well bandgeek1999 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandgeek1999 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 North Shore is definitely a contender. I see them being top 3 in finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

principalagent Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm at Area F today supporting a friend's program and I've got to say that North Shore was quite impressive. They'll for sure advance to State and may even place somewhere in the top half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

principalagent Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Some thoughts: Â The Woodlands had an amazing show - probably my favorite of theirs in a while and I already tend to like their shows. It's not quite state finals ready yet, but I think they'll get in. Their ballad might be my favorite of the year and their visual demand is quite high between drill and body work. I think they have a good chance of playing spoiler next weekend towards the medal chase, as well. The show is there, but they just need to get rid of visual dirt. Â Already mentioned North Shore. Still think they're holding in 2nd, and they were clean enough to potentially steal a judge or two from TWHS, I believe. Â Dawson had a well-performed show with a lot of fun elements. I'm confident they'll be in the night show. I would put them on the bubble to advance with Oak Ridge. Oak Ridge's drumline was strong as they're known to be and it's nice to see their band grow in the last couple of years. Â I don't get to see military marching bands often, so I really enjoyed Kingwood. There are a couple of military marching judges on the panel so maybe they'll get some due recognition and a night performance. Â I have to mention Westfield too. It's not 2003, but they performed pretty darn well considering their size (and honestly, in spite of it too). If they found their way into finals, I wouldn't be surprised. Â Klein had an early performance with some bobbles, but I still have them in finals for now. Â Overall, it's been a fun day. A lot of bands with interesting show concepts and solid performances. I would have been at Area D or H today otherwise, but Area F hasn't disappointed. Excited to see Pearland, Spring and College Park later this afternoon. Â Depending on who advances to finals, I might go to Area E finals instead. Otherwise I'll stay here at Area F.

Xenon Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I would love for there to be a military band in a 6A Area Finals! Kingwood 1998 at State Prelims was one of the most amazingly eye opening performances I'd seen. Won both 1st place marching votes. takigan and Hard Core Band Fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
principalagent Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Finalists in Finals performance order:  Pearland Oak Ridge College Park Klein Oak Kingwood Spring Klein North Shore The Woodlands Dawson  I think these are the right finalists. I'm a little shocked about the actual placements from prelims though. I imagine it'll work itself out tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I need Kingwood to make State SOOOOOOOOO badly. I would LOVE to have a military at 6A State again! 1998!!! Anthony V and takigan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

principalagent Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Granted, I didn't see TWHS, North Shore or Dawson because I went to Area E for their finals, but I think this makes sense given what I saw of finals and in prelims. Â I wouldn't think too much of the Woodlands getting 4th. Cedar Park got 7th in prelims and barely advanced out of Area D in 2011 and then won SMBC and it wasn't even close. The Woodlands cleans late season like very few other bands. Â North Shore in a clear first is in no way surprising - they were that clean. Congrats to The Woodlands College Park for their first trip to the state marching contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symphbee Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 From what I've heard, The Woodlands had some sort of mic malfunction, as well as a few soloist errors. Congrats to North Shore and College Park for making state nonetheless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat491 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Still don't understand Spring and Dawson's placements. Literally everyone at the competition except the judges said that Spring was bottom 3 at best and Dawson shouldn't have made it over Pearland. I'll admit I'm biased on this next statement, but Oak Ridge seriously should have gone and if you ask anyone that was there, they'll say that too.
