Actually, Lake HIghlands finished 3rd at Midlothian in 2017.

i would give Kenyangooner a break here. I think his point is that a complete analysis of the event could have pointed out that Lake Highlands finished in the top four in prelims and may have contended for a top three spot had they been allowed to participate in the finals. So, i can appreciate his disappointment. I was a member of the Lake Highlands band back in the early 80s when we were a perennial power house. Lake Highlands won the BOA Regionals in Houston, Texas in 1982 - at that time there was no regional BOA competition in Dallas. Word on the street is that Lake Highlands is on the rise having hired the band director from Ronald Reagan to lead the program and it has the largest incoming band class sizes in school history coming up from the middle schools. i would expect to see great things from LHHS in the next five years.

You are correct. Lake Highlands had a long-standing school commitment Saturday night - Varsity Revue, so they skipped finals They placed 5th in the prelims. 3rd overall for visual effect.

Does anyone know what happened to Lake Highlands? I heard they placed 6th in the prelims but then declined to advance to finals.
