Thanks for the info, I think Richland will score very well and the in the top 5 and winning some captions. Hope weather wont be an issue.

Does DH contest use UIL or BOA scoring? This will be first time Richland attends this contest. Birdville has attended before and excited to see our BISD schools compete against each other early since we also compete for 5A Area F.

So good sources say Richland will be attending Don Hanna this year, not officially on the band calendar but put Richland in the mix!

I would think Richland is a lock along with Aledo and BC. They qualified for State the last three season just missed beating out Aledo in 2023. This seasons show will be as strong with the possibility of excelling the past two seasons. I do hope Area F gets 5 representatives again, I feel the last two spots can be anyone’s.

Richland has a better show this year than last years state finals. They just need to perform and let the cards fall where they may. I’ve been to several State contest with this group and seen some crazy stuff when it comes to judging. For example last year didn’t see Aledo not making finals and Richland did. Richland band and directors are wonderful. Yes we would like to make finals but it’s about continuing to improve each season and continuing the rich history this band has. Any band making it to State can hold there head high and know they are in a special group of 5A bands. Go Richland Band we are proud of you!

Thanks

Didn’t South Hills earn a 2?

Good luck Haltom band!

Congratulations to Richland going up against some big 4AAAA class bands in Braswell and Permian. So proud of Richland, also congrats to Boswell and Irving for making finals. Go Royals!

I like you choices, Richland show this season will be more complicated drill and music.

No problem with being biased just be open minded. I thought Timberview had a fine show last year, Area F is tough but with possibly of having 5 representatives opens the door for bands like Timberview. Good Luck on your season.

With the success of Richland last year I’m excited to see them at this contest. Definitely a step up of competition from Las Cruces 2023 and this years show has the potential to rise above the “Under Pressure “ show. We expect to be ready for Area F and be back to SA State this year.

Location is one of the selling points for bands, this has always been a good contest with a good stadium. It’s centralized plenty of eating establishments and BISD always gets great judges.

Birdville should be a top contender, they did quality for state against three tough bands above them in area F. Good luck Hawks

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.
