Y’all are amazing! I think my favorite show they’ve done at least since Covid was 2023 but I loved the Odyssey. My mom went to area finals with me and yall had her favorite show. Overall just a lot more consistency but Prospers been a big name for a good while now. You should be super proud of y’all’s season and I can’t wait to see what yall cook up for next year!

I'd be shocked if SV doesn't make it back assuming they maintain their momentum. They've made it quite a bit recently and have been pretty consistent

I’m not trying to start a war, but I highly recommend checking out Funliner Productions newest video of you haven’t. Every voice matters in this situation, and the fact that Tim Snyder and Box5 is trying to take every penny to allow content creators seconds of clips is not what this activity needs. Do not stay silent, they must hear you.

Yeah, maybe pretty good is better, but I was impressed with some of the bottom half bands here. I remember seeing Allen and PW, they were pretty dang good.

As someone who was here this past season I agree. I’d say there is still a middle line at some point, but yeah most of these bands are extremely good.

It’s any of those bands in random order for the 3 spots

I’d bet 1. they probably didn’t went to open up a new school. With how new schools like Emerson and PC are especially, and also just maybe finding land/costs 2. Wakeland is ready. Idk about all sports but bands is 100% gonna do well in 6A. They are and have been alrssu beating top 6A schools for a while, and I expect they will continue to. I have my money on them making state next year and maybe even finals tbh. 3. they made and oppsies 😂

Yeah I’m really excited for a pretty new era of 5A and 6A

Okay so yeah Wakeland officially 6A, post on their bands Insta. Soooo, that’s gonna make things interesting. Like losing all Leander ISD and Wakeland??? 4A-6A is gonna look very interesting, but honestly I’m excited for this change and to see how things play out. Curious to see if MN comes back in or if someone else can, and Walnut Grove to 6A so that’s another spot. Here’s my to early preds: 1. Lone Star (trust) 2. Lebanon/Argyle 3. Argyle/Lebanon Trail 4. Reedy/ McKinney North 5. MN/Reedy 6. The Colony (maybe higher or lower, def could make state) 7. Melissa 8-10. Independence, Emerson, Lovejoy Heritage, Celina

Oh yeah ur so right hurts my heart that they’d remove it bc of attendance, decent amount of other regionals don’t have crazy attendance and Austin has a ton of the nations top bands. wondering how other regionals like San Marcos will be effected, gonna just be Austin 2.0 with a stronger lineup mixing Austin and Houston bands, that would be pretty sick

There is still a tbd South Texas event, hoping it’s so form of Austin but I really hope even with the lower attendance they have something, it’s such a staple in the Tx marching band world and in general

That’s awesome!! Hopefully I can come to this one as well, would leave to meet up

I believe Lebanon Trail also has this on their calendar

U good, just didn’t want people getting confused lol I agree and really hope so! Absolutely loved there shows this and last season and really hope they keep it up in 4A. They’ve got a bright future ahead

Oh dang okay, I could have sworn I saw they weren’t

Yes, but that was in 4A. Seeing how they placed at Melissa and Mckinney against 5A bands in this area, it's night and day between 4A and 5A. Also, I don't think Wakeland is going up to 6A as per your post

*Area C

I could maybe see Celina doing it, they’ll probably make finals but not state for a couple years as well imo

I do think Panther Creek will take a little bit of time before making state, especially finals, unless they grow a good amount and take on 5A “easily” it’s probably still gonna be 4 out of Area B and idk if I see them topping 4 bands in that area, much less 10 to make finals, Yet, though I’d love for them to make it

Seeing how last season went, I expect big things, though, they had an amazing season in 23 and then 24 was not as good, so, as long as they maintain their momentum, I'd say at least right now top 3 would be Hebron, Lone Star and LD Bell. Yes, I do know that bands like Lebanon and Argyle beat Lone Star at state, but they are always super strong early season, and I don't see outside top 3, but yeah, I'd be shocked if they weren't top 3 here.

It hasn’t been so far but this is only the 4th one so maybe they will in the near future like HEB, would def got a lot of viewers for sure

And LD Bell, holy cow, this one’s gotta super popular really fast

Happy to see Hebron coming back, already a super strong lineup!

They became 4A last alignment

I actually like this idea. I think the biggest "issue" is that most bands would argue that they like to compete with the top bands from all states than just a certain region, but I could be wrong. It's just hard to name a national champion if they don't all compete in one place
