    Also, my band directors keep saying that our participation fees are one of the lowest in the state, and the lowest at the state marching contest, our fee is $350 just for participation, what are yalls?

    I’m gonna go bold on this one and say that at the state level, Hebron and Vandegrift get dethroned as the 1-2 spots this year. I could especially see this happening if they’re getting anywhere near the same amount of new members as my school is this year. We had our first spring camp with everyone and I think the freshmen are trying their best, it’s really just finishing learning how to march and learning the music.

    I feel like next season’s gonna be even more unpredictable than this past season, but that’s probably just me 😝

    All the shows this year seem interesting for sure, I can’t wait to see what Pearland puts on the field, maybe Dawson can dethrone them as area champion considering how close they got to it at area last year

    All of the concepts from this area so far are amazing, but i’m very curious to see where PM will go. Despite the competition for that/those last state spots, I will be cheering y’all on! 😄

    This actually seems like a really cool concept and could go places potentially even state if executed properly and cleaned well enough (and Pasadena Memorial has been getting a lot better at cleaning over the past years) so I’m really excited for this along with the other shows posted on the forum (especially Dawson’s it looks REALLY interesting)

    It’s honestly tough to tell until we actually see them on the field. I’ve seen director changes significantly hurt programs and I’ve seen programs not skip a beat and actually improve drastically as a result of director changes so there’s no real way to know until the season starts. I’m of the opinion that schools like Sachse and Waxahachie will be fine as I think they both have strong foundations and principles that they abide by and things may not be as volatile as we think. I could be wrong though who knows (not that I want to be wrong of course).

    I wouldn't expect a huge drop off from them. It's not like the drill writer is changing and the show is gonna be great as always. It's not the band director who is the defending Area C champs it's the school of Sachse

    This is the show we are presenting for the 2025 Maverick band called "Kinetic". This piece features music from: David Maslanka Sara Bareilles John Adams. The music that they let us hear was a rough draft of what they are basing it from then plan to tweak something that they told us they'll add is a brass double tounging feature. I am extremely excited where we can take this piece(hopefully state for the first time in district history). Go Mavs

    I mean last year was the first year since 2021 I believe they made state. Sure they have a better history of success than schools like the Richardson areas or even like the rockwall's but I think this director change is going to hurt Sachse bad. 4a-6a is a huge jump and with how difficult the area is people will be jumping at the opportunity for a state slot since there are so many director changes.
  32. SharksAreCool
    Great idea

    Please do! However, make them have different leaderboards. For EX someone might get top DCI in points but not top Marching band. Another idea I had was to make the people who are in the top 10 of the leaderboard have some sort of special color on there name when they post in forums.

    I think sometimes the problem with moving it is if a school is willing to host it. I know several schools have been asked to host events in the past and passed. There are several places that have nice stadiums but don't have the space outside to accommodate 25 bands or more with numerous trailers and 18 wheelers. If you move it somewhere else it's one of those damned if you do and damned if you did not. No decision is going to be perfect for some schools. I know it sucks for some schools to drive over 3+ hours but I blame that on UIL making the entire Area all the way from the Red River to the Texas Coast. I'm expecting some of those schools near Dallas may go back to Area B after the next realignment comes out for the 2026-2027 school yr.

    It’s looking like all the bands are really trying to play with their strongest cards this year… I’m excited to see this area, I just know this years area c will be even more competitive than the last

    It helps that he's going to a school like Sachse with a history of success. The resources and tools are likely available to him.

    I agree, but I may have a biased opinion, lol
  40. BandDad85
    The stadium size is fine, but the parking is horrible. Barely enough room for the band trailers. Warmup areas were a very long walk from the stadium. Not sure why it has to be here when there may be better options in Tyler. The 2.5 hour drive each way was real fun too....... but some schools had an even longer drive than that.

    Van Alstyne will be attending again this year

    Yes, yes! I’m excited 😆

    I’m excited to see how this season turns out, With the area upset from last year I hope some programs have a chance to rise up in ranks.

    This seems to now be the new form for show reveals so no worries, but this looks sick, hoping they have a strong year after some surprising results last year
