Best 5a schools in Area B in order: Frisco Wakeland Frisco Lebanon Trail Frisco Lone Star Mckinney North Frisco Centennial Princeton (maybe?) Frisco Reedy Wakeland is strong like usual but they were definitely a little off this year, maybe because 2018 was not a state year for them. Expecting them to still compete for first at Area Finals. Yes, I realize Lebanon Trail is still really new but the sounds they produce are great. Their visual clarity is unlike any other school in Frisco. Pretty amazing that they still didn't have a senior class this year, I would not have known at first glance. Look up a video if you don't believe me. Lone star was also downgraded from last year, by a lot, but then again 2018 wasn't a state year. Visually they were just pretty dirty, but the music was good. Saw McKinney North at UIL and they were really present in terms of sound, could be on the edge of a breakout year. Centennial, oh Centennial, they used to be so good. Ever since Lebanon trail opened, they have lost their freshmen and their better middle school. And then in 2017, Lebanon Trail took their assistant who was in charge of the marching band(Probably why Lebanon Trail is so good) Visually they were dirty this year, and the music was downgraded but still very present. Princeton did well in 4a for many years but i don't know much else. They're new to 5a so that success might not continue, we will see. Reedy has finally established a good program after being open since 2015, excited to see them in the future.

I'm part of the lebanon trail band and man was this contest amazing for us. We're a really new school and because of the way the zoning worked out we have every class except for seniors right now, so to win first place at a competition with great bands like centennial, rowlette, and southlake carrol was really a miracle for us, hoping to do well again next week at the plano east marching invitational.
