Just saw results, there is no way.

Man, that's messed up. Wish y'all could've gone, it would've been the first time a Mesquite band went to State right? It's cool to find out about band history, I never heard that North used Poteet's parking lot to practice on lol But congrats on North Forney making State!

So I've been getting into and watching military bands lately, and I've gotta say I have a new found appreciation for it! I've always found them cool due to the drill they march and the fact that they HAVE to be so clean to pull those moves off sometimes (plus have a really good internal tempo), but after really paying attention to them, you realize that the best of them are playing marches at a pretty high level while constantly on the move, trying to execute fundamentals so perfectly. Now that I've been watching Longview and Kingwood from the 70s to the 90s, I have to say that they don't get the attention they deserve. These bands lately just strive for perfection, not worried about the corps-style marching bands and their competitions. I just wanted to ask some questions: 1) How many bands in Texas are still marching military? 2) What bands have switched to corps style and when did they do so? I know Texas High in Texarkana and Humble High have, and Humble switched fairly recently. I also know that the list is probably fairly long, but I just have to know

Really? That doesn't sound right considering they sent Poteet in 1990. What year was that?

Lol, thank you!

Whitehouse!!!

Not to be rude either, but the joke flew over your head lol

So THAT'S what was going on today, thought it was Region. Should've known better lol

Does anyone remember Sherman's 2015 show? I was honestly shocked that they didn't advance to State but McKinney North did (no shade towards them). I know that was years ago, but to be completely honest, I feel like Sherman is a lot better than their placements. Granted, I haven't seen them the past 2 years, but definitely feel like they get the short end of the stick.

Are Colleyville Heritage, Burleson Centennial, Aledo, and Chisholm Trail all in the same area?Cause if this contest is any indication, Colleyville and Centennial are gonna be making some noise at Area.

No one's talked about it and it just happened today. Does anyone have the lineup/results for Prelims and lineup/results for Finals?

They made the post back in February

The assistant/marching band director from John Horn left to McCallum High, so I honestly don't think Horn will make Finals anymore :/

I've always been confused as to why high school bands from pretty well off districts/cities have trouble keeping directors. And a lot of times, it's seems like these directors just move to other well off places.

Nice, I love how laid back they are about marchimg band and that they really get into the games
