I’m not gonna make any prediction until I see the order and who is on what blocks

I already know there is gonna be upsets . I’ll put money . Someone who should be in finals won’t be !

Ah okay that makes sense

Idk I feel like with this groups are gonna be screwed

Honestly tho imagine . More than half of these being an odd . Like that would change up so much .

Just saw the old band trailer in Waxahachie on the news and wow it’s destroyed

I think they have a good shot at finals tbh

I’m here at the trinity & haltom football game because I love me some football and both teams are really good and it’s a good game and I just watched halftime and I got some comments Trinity has improved so so much this year like not in a way to make finals against these bands but they really do sound great and I love the improvements. From watching haltom last week to now . So much has changed . New start for guard . They didn’t have props cause rain but it didn’t take away from it . The sound is so strong and visually they look great. Also timing wise which is what I saw as the problem last week was 75 percent better . And that’s just a hard show in general like paying attention closely without props it’s a harddd show. I say this genuinely but I wouldn’t count them out trust me . The improvements in 1 weeks is so high and I can’t imagine what it’s gonna be like in 2 full week for area and then 3 full weeks for boa and hopefully state. I’m really sad the contest for tomorrow is canceled cause it would’ve been a great opportunity to watch all those area b bands . Any who back to my game.

Oh someone in the forum said it

I haven’t heard anything about it I just believe it would be better if they don’t cancel it yet

Haven’t heard anything yet . But I really don’t think they should call anything until Monday tbh cause the forecast could change

True but it also takes away from bands that have only be able to perform 3 -5 time due to football games getting rained out in contests . So it really is a bummer and is messing up the season

That’s a bummer

We will see . I just think that this year there is gonna be a lot of head turns and suprises and that’s really what I want tbh . I’ll be at area so we will def see . Can’t wait . Def the best area to attend in Texas tbh

Okay Well I think I’m gonna do a recap of each finals group if there is finals on Saturday and I’ll post what I think of haltom a performance as well. I also wanna hear what y’all have to say and I really wanna see all the new predictions after this weekend . I feel like some of mine might change idk we will see

Should I do of recap of each group during finals ? And what I liked and everything . If finals happens. I’ve seen it done on other contest and I seem like it’s be fun

I completely agree

That really does suck tbh . But I mean we will have any clearer insight of Saturday and then area it is . Really anything can happen . It really sorta scary

But I do agree about birdville. And I will definitely be there for finals to see all those area b bands and haltom doing the exhibition right ? Or is it Richland do it at night this year . It’s gonna be a good way for those bands to test out the field and get the feel since it’s been at heb for so many years . Also do you know why it’s a the birdville stadium instead

As I said those top 7 are all really close. The reason I put haltom high is because of what I’ve heard and how I think they can improve . I’m not underestimating anyone but I do think that if they improve that they can definitely be above those other groups. But I kinda just threw them in cause I do think they will advance but had all those groups realy close to each other .

The ballad changed my life lol

Im new this this forum but i love band with a passion and ive had several family members who was also in band. With that being said i try to go to as many performances withing the tarrant county area and Area B is a contest in which is very close to me. Also i have heard almost all of these groups so far this year and have some opinions and predictions based on what i see and like as well. Finals: Most Groups in this area are very good and its really hard to pick but ima go for it and give reasonings. (no order yet) Keller Prosper Haltom Waxa. LD Bell Coppell Duncanville Timber Creek Keller Central Richland Now im gonna do the bottom 4 of prelims and then that group i put 6th could make state if taken 6. Again this is my opinions. so if you dont agree im sorry. 10-9 Keller central: Okay so with keller central ive heard them at games and boa dfw. Although i enjoyed the show and thought it was clever, i felt it was missing something and i dont think there is a ot to do with the theme visually. They did pretty well but i dont think they will compare to some of these groups. With That being said i put them making finals but staying either 9th or 10th. Richland: I saw Richlands show twice last week. ones at the bisd Band fest and then again at mansfield. When watching it the first time i found myself bored . The theme didnt speak to me and was alittle pointless . I do like some of the music choices but it still needs work.I also compared them to haltom performance that night and it was not at any level haltom was that nightt. On saturday the run they had was alot better and i enjoyed more but they only have to the ballad and region is next week and area is coming up fast and so i heard they just added the ballad last week and idk if they are going to be able to develop the music in such a short time. This is some of the reasons i have them either 9th or 10th as well. 8-7 Duncanville: When i saw a video of the on flo from bedford i wasnt a fan at all. seems like the same duncaville as every year and it really starts to bother me alittle now. But the reason i still have them in finals is because of the fact of when is the last time they didnt make state? thy tend to do better in uil than boa but i think this will be the first year ever that they wont advance . so i put them 8th. Coppell: Love the music design and show design in general and again they have a very high level of excellence in uil. But when i did watch them on flo I thought they are great but still felt something was missing. Its really hard to figure out these but again this is my opinion as well as id like a whole new group of bands going to state and not the same old same old and thats a reason i put them 7th and maybe taking a spot if they advance 6. 6th Waxa.: I watched the show Saturday for the first time and i loved and i mean loved the musical selection . again i wasnt sure about the design and theme but they may have alot more to add. any who every year i really enjoy this group and i think if they do take 6 to state this year from area b this will most likely be the 6th spot . 5-2 Okay so this is honestly the hardest thing ever cause all 5 of theses group are so good so i think 2nd through 5th can go anyway. Prosper: This show is super neat and very very uil friendly . This is also the only texas band attending boa grand nationals and they are going for it. i really enjoy the musical and visual aspect of the show. with that being said i def think they are going to advance but i just dont know where to place them. Haltom: Okay this group is one that i wasnt 100% sure about due to recent results but when i saw them at mansfield they looked tired and dead tbh and the closer which they recently added with marching fell apart. say that but the design aspect i love . The opener , solos and ballad is beautiful . as welll as they have the entire show on the field. i thought about keller and how usually they arent the best in the beginning but pull through and i truly believe that is what will happen. especially with all the they now have to clean. Musically its the best ive heard from haltom they really just need to work on tempo stuff. then again i dont know where they will be put but i really do think they will make it. Timber Creek: Wow has this group improved. Although im not the biggest fan of the show i still think they are incredible. If they do advance this will be the first time ever for them and will be making history once again. i really would love to see this program successed as well as the horn line is quite beautiful. LD Bell: Okay in the beginning of the season when i first saw they show i honestly hated it and the bagpipes nut it has grown on me. The guard work is beautiful and although i dont like the stage in the front due to it being really loud and when i watch i feel like the guard members are gonna fall through i still love the sound and i do think they will advance and maybe they weill fix the loudness with the props but other than that i really do enjoy the show now that ive watched it a few time . 1st Keller: I mean come on winning heb contest . Medaling at boa dfw. This group always impresses me every year and they just keep getting better and better. still dont know what the show is about and i really dont like the guard uniforms. BUT i love the design although its very confusing. Love the musicality they are performing with and just love them in general. As well as keller won this area in 2016 as well and i know for a fact they will again because of how good they already are. Like i said in haltoms post keller usually starts slow and grows to be great. But this year they started great and are now on the way to be literally breathtaking. I also think this may be the year keller may medal at state and may atleast get top 5 at boa , if the continue to improve. Like i said these are my opinions but here is my final list 1. Keller 2. Bell 3. Haltom 4. Timber 5. Prosper 6. Waxa 7. Coppell 8. Duncanville 9. keller Central 10. Richland
