I was so glad to see Richland make finals and place 9th. It just verified the successful path the directors have been taking to get our program moving up. Last year was a promising success with this year just amazing. The wins for BOA Regional champion and USBands Burleson champion were not looked at by others as enough to consider Richland in State conversation’s but we trusted the directors that the early win’s verified the show was good early in the season and by the time Area came the band would be ready. I love when bands like Richland and Roma break into the mix with the larger bands and I admire their directors to get the most of their kids to be successful. Look forward to next season for Richland band. Also shout out to Area F bands for the success this area is turning heads. The competition was wonderful and look forward to seeing more improvements in this area.

Congratulations to the Haltom Band and their directors.

Richland, Birdville and Haltom make up BISD and only do exhibition since the contest is their own.

I graduated from a Fort Worth school and unfortunately booster clubs just don’t know how to get the parents involved. Parents just don’t see value in supporting band programs because they don’t see results which in turn the kids suffer because I guarantee they work just as hard as any other suburban band program.

Just for clarification the Paschal Boosters provided the band trailer. FWISD does very little for band programs

Congratulations to Birdville

They were on the rise pre Covid but they are not an upper tier that could sustain through Covid. They are middle tier but with the potential to be higher with a good show. I’m a Richland alumni and we love Haltom.

Haltom is a dark horse. They had a good show last year but didn’t make state. Mr. Hull knows how to get this group back to form and will get them back to state even though they are not ever considered by the talking heads.

It’s unfortunate this area has many band programs that don’t make area and only has 4 Representatives leaving out some really good bands. Now that creates it harder which makes for a very competitive area knowing only 4 will make it.

Last year Burleson Centennial chose not to attend but would have been one of the four. This was the finals last year without BC attending, try telling 5-10 this is the “easiest “ areas? It’s not these are quality programs some like Richland have a wonderful perigee just like many the competition in other areas got harder. Richland had a rebirth last year and will have a better season coming up and I believe will surprise some but we have history and believe the program is returning to form. Good luck to all bands in this area. 10th: Saginaw 9th: Grapevine 8th: Summit 7th: Birdville 6th: Azle 5th: Midlothian 4th : Brewer 3rd: Richland 2nd: CH 1st: Aledo

Congratulations to Richland Honor Band and the Directors! What an awesome achievement. Good luck!

Smart since Area F is usually held T Birdville Stadium.

Good to see Arlington attending Birdville contest. I’ll be sure to watch their performance, good luck this season .

I understand this venue different from BOA but it’s an opportunity to perform and see how you stack up to other programs. I’m excited for our upcoming show it’s gonna be awesome.

First time Richland competing at a USBands event. Very good chance Richland makes finals and scores high.
