In regards to the Military Bands, both Llindale and Hallsville received Superior Ratings at Region 21 Marching Contest. Only Lindale is coming from Region 21 because the Military Band folks think that the judging is rigged against them. I would agree that probably North Forney or Forney would be a favorite, however I have been to far to many Area Contests where Military Bands outmarched and outplayed "Competitive Bands" and got no credit. Last year when two military Bands made the AAAA Finals, you would have thought that the fix was in. The same comments were made in 2015 when White Oak made the Finals in 3A.
