So I just started watching the stream at the end of Shelbyville. Did anyone catch any of the earlier performances?

In terms of contests, I'm super excited about it! On the other hand, there was always something that felt so special about only getting 2 opportunities to advance to State. With it being every year, it will at some point just feel like another contest for those who advance to it every single time. It will also be more expensive for those in 5A-6A. I also think Super Regional may become a contest people skip if they want to do Grand Nationals because of how much money would be spent on the trips.

Alright, with Area weekend Officially over, I feel like I can now talk about my thoughts on the 6 bands that have qualified for the State contest! ADVANCERS TO STATE: Hebron- I don't know where to even begin with this band. They put on a performance that was even better than the last one! The music is phenomenal and the marching techniques are better than ever! I even found out that they haven't had their closer on the field for that long, and the fact that they came to Area and walked away as Area Champion says so much about where this group is heading in the next couple of weeks. Look out San Antonio, Hebron High School Band is heading your way and You are not going to want to miss them! Flower Mound- Their show is so unique and the title says it all! The props help with the story, and even let you know where they are in the show! The uniforms are so cool and fit in very well with what they are wanting to achieve! The music is great and the marching style is on point. I feel like Flower Mound has a chance at the Top 3 this year, but who is to say what will happen. The Flower Mound High School Band is Flying to San Antonio to tell you the story of The Adventures of Super Band and you do not want to miss it! Marcus- Their show is so interesting and feels like I'm watching a new version of Tilt from the Bluecoats! Marcus is coming back and they are coming back strong! Their music is Awesome and they are doing very well in marching. I feel that we will soon be seeing the return of the Early 2010's Marcus in the coming years, and this show is only the beginning! Pivot is such a cool show, and San Antonio, they are looking to give you a show you will not forget! Wylie- I REALLY Love that opening hit from the Brass. That Wylie Band is here to tell you stories through the echo's of the Canyon's. Their props are really nice, their music is great, and they are marching with precision! They are looking to be a Finals contender and I hope to see them do just that! Here comes Canyon's San Antonio, and you are about to be taken into a whole new world with Canyons! Wylie East- WOW, first Year as a 6A and they are Advancing to the State Contest! Wylie East has put on a phenomenal show this year, and it is awesome to see them continue their journey with their sister school as well! The preshow music is still so cool and fits in well with the announcers script! When they play come together, it is such a amazing piece and the emotion throughout the show is something else! San Antonio, Wylie East High School band is coming with a Re-Imagined look and you do not want to miss their performance! McKinney Boyd- Where do I even begin with the Bronco Band. They have a great opener and the force given by the brass and woodwinds is such a cool moment to be apart of. The story they tell is great and the props go well with what they are wanting to say. They marched very well and are on the voyage of making History. I want to take a quick moment and give a HUGE congratulations to them as this is the first time that McKinney Boyd High School Band is advancing to the UIL State Championships! San Antonio keep those Beacon's shining bright, because the Beacon of Hope is coming your way and you don't want to miss it!

Goodluck to Ya'll at State!!!

Hebron's performance was really good in both Prelims and Finals! They are going after the State Title again if they have the same performances as they did for Area. I can't wait to post the videos at the end of the season so people can get a chance to see their performances!

Those will probably get taken down. I have all footage expect for Hebron and Marcus Up on YouTube!

yes, they did 12 in 2016, 2018, and 2021. So this year is making History!

It was judges preference. McKinney Boyd got a 4 and 5 from the music judges, while one music Judge gave Prosper a 5.

Yes! I will have it up on YouTube later today!

I do have video of Hebron, I'm just not allowed to upload it until the end of the season.

I'll have their performance on YouTube later today!

And HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to these qualifiers!!!!

Wait Kennedale didn't make it!?!?!?

Prosper lost to a tie to McKinney Boyd to make state.

It was Frenship, not Odessa..

HUGE congratulations to Davenport and Floresville!!!!
