The Colony High School 2025 - Scorched Musical selections in order consist of The Inferno, The Rite Of Spring, Dragon Drums, and Liszt: Dante Symphony The show is a difference approach that has never been done before. With a bunch of new ideas, The Colony is ready to take Scorched to the field Knock It Out TC!

TexasStrangers you said the Dallas schools may move back to area b. The realignment that moved them into area c doesn’t happen very often. It doesn’t happen every two years. The two year alignment is for classification. That doesn’t change which area you go into unless you move classifications.

This will be fun!!

Very straight forward theme 😂. Cant wait to see what Neil does with this.

I think that might be the piece they’re using for their ballad. My alma mater shares the same design team with them, and that team has used Méditation by Massenet several times with other schools, including mine. I don’t blame them because it’s a beautiful piece, and if I’m right, I’m looking forward to seeing Piper’s interpretation!

I wonder if the Massanet is going to be their ballad.. meditation from Thais... it will be an amazing piece if the pull it off and have violin featuring it..

also, how amazing would this graphic be on a T-shirt?! 😍😍😍

This definitely looks like new director heath nall idea cause his old school shows had similar music along with the 80s

This past realignment saw a few schools that were in 3A Area B and 4A Area B move to Area C. They can realign Area every 2 yrs just like they do with sports.

Sachse HS Be Kind: Rewind (looks incredibly ai generated) Lots of 80s music and Super Mario Bros.

I changed the topic to include all classes show announcements and not just 5A. Also, I moved it into the everything music category, which is where these topics usually go. Carry on!

Nope. It was Mr Rod Kosterman according to a Wylie post

Do you know if it was Mr.Wood?

Did anyone else see one of Heaths Percussion Directos left to go to Wylie HS?

Colleyville Heritage HS Metamorphosis

Yeah Reedy really is a big gamble, they seemed to be doing great with their director. With the Memorial director being at reedy now, I am looking forward to how they will do. Ex-Memorial director was doing good with them, and the Memorial program is like half the size of Reedy’s, so all we can do it wait lol. Hopefully they do great, I have high hopes

Yeah I agree about Wakeland, I don’t see them not being 1 or 2 for a while, def as long as they’ve got their current director and whatnot. im also curious about if reedy hangs around with their head leaving as well. I also don’t see Walnut Grove out of finals, here’s my guess based on changes and last year: 1. Wakeland/Lonestat 2. LS/Wakeland 3. Argyle 4. MN/LT 5. LT/MN/Walnut Grove 6. Walnut Grove/LT 7. Emerson (I’m really hoping) 8. Reedy? 9-10-everyone else im hoping to see TC and Emerson back in. I think both had rough area runs last year. I’m also expecting big things from WG, would be shocked if they pulled a big one, especially considering the growing success of Prosper schools.

To my understanding you’re a frisco hs graduate… I have high hopes for them too! I like your thinking with The Colony bounce back, I enjoyed their show last year… definitely finals spot deserving. Memorial did also just lose their head director after only 3 years so I’m not sure how they will play out. Also Wakeland dropping to 3rd is a little bit of a stretch, I can see them dropping to 2nd after a while as they were head to head with lone star last season. Argyle jump is a little crazy too. overall great predictions!

Do you mean a location change or realignment because I thought realignments were every two years.

It's early in the season but what are everyone's predictions so far..... I'm going out on a limb and saying 1. Lone Star 2. Argyle 3. Wakeland 4. Lebanon trail/ Mckinney north 5. Reedy / the colony 6. Emerson 7. Heritage 8. Memorial 9. Liberty 10. Frisco high school

Unfortunately they don’t realign area very often. It was 20 years ago or so since the last area change for 3A/4A area c. Don’t look for them to move anyone back. But, the next realignment will move Celina to 5A so there’s that.

Do yall have any predictions now that most of the area finalist have revealed their show themes? Here are my predictions. 1st/2nd: Celina/SS (again). Both bands should continue to have success in 4A. Although SS show theme has been done many times they do have some good music selections and seems like they will make it unique. I’m ready to see Celina’s show!! 3rd/4th: NL/PG. both of these bands have shows great improve these past few years and should be some top contenders at area and possibly state! I do think PG has a good chance to over come NL they have improved significantly every year and it seems that NL has struggled a bit since Mr. Jones left in 2023. 5th/6th: Lumberton/BC. These 2 bands always seem to be neck and neck. They both have really amazing shows but it’ll definitely be close! I could see Lumberton placing higher but I have them here for now. BC I’ve seen have their ups and downs. I honestly enjoyed their area performance more than state but we will see what happens! 7th/8th: Farmersville/VA. These 2 placements will be controversial if there are only 7 state qualifiers. In 2024 VA I think was supposed a state qualifier in prelims but dropped down in finals. After seeing FHS show theme I think it could really be a toss up. It’s a fun show but I don’t know how judges will feel about it. I have not yet seen anything from VA. 9th/10th/11th/12th: It could be really anyone here with the stacked area but I think the more likely ones will be Canton/PT/Community/WP/Sunnyvale. It’ll definitely be close but it’ll just depend on their execution. I did hear that PT is getting a new assistant director..
