PLEASE POST ANY EARLY SEASON VIDEOS HERE!!! 🙏🙏

I got the privilege to make it to Rock Hill and Walnut Grove high school’s parent showcase and I’m very impressed to say the least. Rock Hill and their show was a big step up creative wise from past years and it finally feels like they’re stepping away from crowd pleasers and heading towards more competitive shows like they had in 2022. Also enjoying their visual aspects which I feel like struggled last year. I also really like their trombone parts (I’m slightly biased). Walnut Grove in the same way surprised me. To be frank they haven’t been the best since their opening in comparison to other PISD schools but watching the content in their first two parts was really entertaining and challenging. It feels like they’ve finally created a show that represents their program. On top of that a parent over there was talking about how they had 3 ensembles qualify for music for all’s convention in Indy. So I’ll be curious to see how that’ll transfer from concert band to marching! Lastly, I think if performed to the best of their ability both of these schools could make a deep impact into finals!

hebrons show is based of magic school bus (at least from what ive heard)

Both bands I feel like will have great years this year. Rock Hill is definitely a one who could sneak into finals and Walnut could also compete.

Still no schedule for this one.

After having that early time last year I think they should be in a better position. At least they're not going directly after Argyle again I believe it was Lone Star does also look like they're in a great place to win prelims, and Walnut may have a surprising result as well Anyways here's some way too early prelims results predictions 1. Lone Star 2. Wakeland 3 - 4. MN/LT 5 - 7. Walnut/Emerson/Argyle 8 - 10. Between Reedy/Heritage/Liberty/Colony, even Memorial or Independence I guess, could be any of the Frisco schools in that back range

Uggg Emerson with another early time LS in a position to at least win prelims

I need to see Wakeland. They have one of the coolest show themes this year and I must see it now.

I agree, I think LS could definitely beat Wakeland this year

I just went Lone Star High School parent preview..... This show seems like it's going to be amazing...... WOW..... Just WOW!!!!!.... I can see how they are improving the program....

Lake Hamilton made G Nats Semis a few years ago and did quite well. I remember really liking their show.

I watched their show from last season, very good. I think they definitely have a strong chance of taking AA but I think finals may be out of reach just looking at how they were this time last year, but I’d love for them to have two performances. Also really great schedule, tough spot for Reedy but the blocks are pretty matched in strength, this will be a great one.

Real talk, though. How TF does this forum have 11 pages already? We are still a few months away. We have more pages than the show reveal form!

With this being said I think it’s so important that when students read these forums, the overall forums average range of placements for these band programs isn’t the box of placement for that program. STUDENTS, we are people who have marched and just love the activity and have come back, some maybe just continuing on what they’re doing. Don’t let any of what we say affect how you rehearse and enjoy the Band Experience. Keep working and keep practicing! No matter what school you go to, your hard work is appreciated just as much as the next school.

I love CHuck's music and DCI's many many takes on it. His talent and creativity will be missed.

I am curious about Birdville considering their placement last year. my hope here is that Azle gets to state. Like they’re also so good at local/boa comps and always make finals here. Currently thinking it’s gonna be the same 10 finalist as last year

Bro it’s soooo hard to predict Azle bc they always do so well at local comps/boa but then can’t ever make state 😭 like idk what it is but it feels like every year they have a chance and then don’t make it
