  1. After watching the premiere in Theater, here is my favorites (In Order)- 1st- Bluecoats- such a unique show and definitely a top 5 show- Love the props and the uniforms are something different- music wise, they had a very unique choice and the dance break really made this show something- Visually, it was really interesting and I can't wait to see how they build this show over the summer! 2nd- Boston Crusaders- All I can say is WOW- Loved the show musically and Visually and was engaged with the show the entire time!- I can see this show in the Top 5 or even break into the Top 3 if they keep it up throughout the rest of the season 3rd- Blue Stars- I know some may think, "Why did I put Blue Stars ahead of The Cavaliers and Phantom Regiment", well all I can say is I really liked the show!- The uniforms were really unique and gave a bit of a throwback to The Cadets 2011 show.- I really enjoyed the music and thought the Blue Stars put on what amazing performance! I can see the show make the Top 12 by finals, but I do think that they have some work to do to try and make it into the Top 8 4th- Phantom Regiment- Amazing Show!- The music was as amazing I was hoping it would be and visually, they put it out on the field tonight!- They started the night off right and the Opener is one I won't forget! Now I can see Phantom breaking into the Top 5 this year, but we will have to wait and see on that. 5th- The Cavaliers- I like the show, the music is great, the idea is there, but I just couldn't get into the show. I do enjoy the shows that they do, but this one doesn't seem to be ready yet. The Cavaliers will be in finals, no doubt on that, but I hope that they make this show into something amazing! I really like their uniforms, the clock idea is really cool, and the clock tarp and Giant clock hands were really cool to see and how they played out! The Tubas moving around the clock and one person standing in the middle acting like the hands was really neat! Finally, I loved the throwback to their 2002 performance with the break down and ending drum beat. But I did also feel like the show ended randomly. 6th- Crossman- I enjoyed watching the show, they had a really unique Idea with starting and ending at the same set. The circle props look really cool and I really like the uniforms! I would like to see them make it into the Top 12, but I don't know yet as Mandarins and The Academy seem to have an advantage this year. Hope things improve for them by DCI World Championships! Overall, I really enjoyed the shows! Was a great way to get back into DCI after not watching it since 2018. I can't wait to go to DCI Denton where I get to watch more amazing programs, including my favorite group Santa Clara Vanguard and Carolina Crown! Also I have my first predictions for Top 12 so far (In No Order)- The Academy Bluecoats Blue Devils Blue Stars Boston Crusaders Carolina Crown The Cavaliers Crossman Mandarins Phantom Regiment Santa Clara Vanguard Spot 12- Still Up for Grabs imo
  2. I will say Argyle is really good with adapting to new conferences, and I feel that with them moving into 5A, they will build up to be one of the top 5A groups in no time. Now I'm not saying it will happen since Princeton moved up in 2018 and they were a top 4A school and now are always at the bottom of the pack in Area. This will be an interesting event and I can't wait to see how they both do!
  3. It is long overdue for Carolina Crown to finally win again. But I feel that Blue Devils may win this year, unless Bluecoats take the lead tonight after the premiere. But I definitely would love to see Crown take it
  4. I have to say, Blue Devils have really impressed me! But I can't wait to see what the Bluecoats, The Cavaliers, Boston Crusaders, Blue Stars, and Crossman have in store tomorrow!
  5. But that can be said for a lot of bands who didn't place well last year
  6. sweet! This will be the first season I keep up with since 2018, so I can't wait! Glad to see that Academy and Mandarins are still going strong! I get to see the Detroit show in Theaters, so I am excited to see what Bluecoats and Cavaliers have in store!
  7. I could see Vandegrift winning it. Vista Ridge is also a good contender to win it.
  8. I haven't seen anything yet. I am watching the Detroit show in Theaters next week, so I'll get to see some shows for the first time then. Does anyone know what Santa Clara is doing this year? I haven't seen anything for them yet.
  9. I will say this, I marched with the Area B group, as I came from Melissa High School, and that Area isn't as easy as one would think with Argyle and Melissa not being in the group anymore. There is still bands like Farmersville, Sanger, Stephenville, Celina, Van Alystne, Kaufman, and Community just to name some. The area won't be as difficult now, compared to Area D and Area C, but that area still has some amazing programs! Can't wait to see how Panther Creek does!
  10. I would like to see both Cinco Ranch and Cy-Fair to make it to state for Area I. Hopefully 5 bands can make it to state from Area I so that we can see another band advance again
  11. I know this was back in May, but I remember when I was in High School, we marched "With Heart and Voice" By David Gillingham back in 2016. Interesting to see that Melissa played it again 6 years later as a concert piece
  12. Thank you for this! The project I have will be more organized and will be set up like UIL State results. I'll give the documents a look to see if it helps me on my quest to finish this project!
  13. Welp, I have found a year that has no results anywhere, 2007. Does anyone have any of those results saved anywhere? The only results I do have is Area C in 1A/2A and 4A
  14. Thank You! I have been using it though to help fill in data where I don't have the score sheets for them. I believe ya'll will really like what I am doing once this project is completed!
  15. Well I'm happy now, I was finally able to find out who was in finals at the Area B 4A contest in 2014. I knew the 5 bands that advanced (Argyle, Princeton, Wills Point, Canton, Melissa), but I couldn't find out the other 5. But now I know that it was Anna, Celina, Kaufman, Mabank, and Sanger. I also have the bands that competed in prelims, but placements are unknown.
  16. We could see the return of Thorndale or Valley Mills as well. I know they haven't done well at the Area contest lately, but they could still surprise us.
  17. Also letting everyone know, I am right now working on a Google Sheet that will have all the results organized like UIL does for the State contest
  18. Alright, so I'm trying to figure out something, was there an Area G in conference 5A or 4A from 1990-1999? I can't seem to figure it out since I can't find any sources that can tell me where bands were during that time.
  19. Alrighty, so here is everything that I have been able to find so for in Results: 2021: All Conferences 2020: All Conferences 2019: All Conferences 2018: All Conferences 2017: Area B 2A/3A & 5A All 2016: All Conferences 2015: All Conferences 2014: Area A & C 4A/Area B Prelims 6A & Area D All 6A 2012: Area A 3A/Area A & Area D 5A 2011: Area C All 4A & Area D Finals 4A 2008: Area C All 5A 2006: Area D 3A & Area D 5A 2005: Area D 2A & Area D 4A
  20. I have given you access, I may switch to Google Sheets to help make it more organized, but for the most part, it should be easy to navigate through
  21. Hey everyone, so I have been doing this long project to try and find every Area contest results from every year, I have been saving every URL that has it and then putting it into a Google Docs. So far I have every 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2016, and 2015. I have also found a rare 2008 one which I am very excited about! If ya'll wish to help me find more so that we can try and find more and create an archive for these results, I would be all for that! Lets get more results found! I have removed the link to the google docs for right now as I have been working on a huge project that will surprise everyone
  22. Would be interesting to see Cedar Ridge or Keller win! But I am going to say I could see a band like Marcus or maybe Vandegrift take the win this year. But I would love to someone new in the Top 3 this year!
  23. Well hey everyone, if you don't know, I went to Melissa HS, and our school hasn't been around for to long, about 2003 is when the school opened and we didn't have a band until about 2004 or 2005. 2003-2005: Unknown 2006 (Show Title- Unknown): Frisco Contest of Champions: Prelims: 9th Place- Score: 57.05 Finals: 11th Place- Score: 51.40 UIL Region 25 Marching Contest: Division 1- Conference 2A 2007 (Show Title- Unknown): Unknown for what contest's they performed at UIL Region 25 Marching Contest: Division 1- Conference 2A UIL 2A Area B Marching Contest: Prelims- Unknown Placement 2008 (Show Title- Unknown): UIL Region 25 Marching Contest: Division 2- Conference 2A 2009 (Show Title- Unknown): Plano East Marching Invitational: Prelims: 17th Place Caption Won: Percussion (Class 2A) UIL Region 25 Marching Contest: Division 2- Conference 2A (Only Band to not advance to Area that year from Region 25) 2010 (Show Title: Unknown)(Music Selection- Victor's In Route to 60, Grove, Soaring, & Passing Barriers) North East Marching Invitational: Division 1- Conference 2A Plano East Marching Invitational: Prelims: Unknown Overall In Class Placement: 1st Place Caption's Won: Best General Effect & Best Marching (In Class 2A) USSBA North Texas Marching Showcase: Placement: 1st in Group 2 A- Score: 75.143 Aubrey Marching Contest: Prelims: 1st Place Finals: 1st Place (Overall Grand Champion) Caption's Won: Best Marching, Percussion, Music (In Class 2A) UIL Region 25 Marching Contest: Division 1- Conference 2A 2011 (Show Title: Angles)(Musical Movements- Movement 1- Guardian Angel; Movement 2- Angle of Hope; Movement 3- Angle of War; Movement 4- Angle of Death) Aubrey Marching Classic: Prelims: Unknown Placement North East Marching Invitational: Division 1- Conference 2A Plano East Marching Invitational: Prelims: Unknown Overall In Class Placement: 1st Place Caption's Won: Best Winds, Best Percussion, Best Drum Major, Best Music (In Class 2A) UIL Region 25 Marching Contest: Division 1- Conference 2A UIL 2A Area B Marching Contest: Prelims: 2nd Place Finals: 2nd Place (ADVANCE TO STATE FOR THE FIRST TIME) UIL 2A State Marching Contest: Prelims: 7th Place Finals: 7th Place 2012 (Show Title: Oh Me, Oh Life) (Music Selection: Based on Famous Poem by Paul Wittman) Mansfield Preview of Champions: Prelims (Stood as finals): 10th Place Overall In Class (Class A): 1st Place- 54.00 North East Marching Invitational (NETEX): Division 1: Conference 3A (Only Band to receive a Division 1 in 3A that year) Aubrey Marching Classic: Prelims- Unknown Overall In Class (3A)- 9th Place Golden Triangle Marching Classic: Prelims- 19th Place- Score: 626 In Class (Unknown)- 1st Place Sounds of Fall Marching Classic: Prelims- 3rd Place In Class (3A)- 2nd Place (Won Best Marching in Prelims) Finals: 4th Place UIL Region 25 Marching Contest: Division 1- Conference 3A Wylie Marching Festival: Prelims: Unknown In Class (3A): 1st Place Caption's Won: Best Music, Best Visual Performance, Best Color Guard UIL 3A Area B Marching Contest: Prelims: 12th Place 2013 (Show Title: MysterU) (Musical Movements: Act 1- Talent; Act 2- The Maze; Act 3- Ceremony) Mansfield Preview of Champions: Prelims: Unknown In Class: Unknown Golden Triangle Marching Classic: Prelims: 21st Place- Score: 710.1 In Class (3A): 5th Place Sounds of Fall Marching Classic: Prelims: Unknown In Class (3A): 1st Place Finals: Unknown UIL Region 25 Marching Contest: Division 2- Conference 3A 2014 (Show Title: Eloquens) (Musical Selections: Unknown) Texas A&M Commerce Marching Classic: Division 1- Conference 4A Golden Triangle Marching Classic: Prelims: Unknown In Class (2A)- 2nd Place- Score: 829.0 Finals- 9th Place- Score: 833.6 Sounds of Fall Marching Classic: Prelims: 2nd Place Finals: 2nd Place Caption Won: Best General Effect UIL Region 25 Marching Contest: Division 1- Conference 4A Wylie Marching Festival: Prelims- 19th Place In Class (4A)- 2nd Place Caption Won (In Class 4A): Best Percussion UIL 4A Area B Marching Contest: Prelims- 2nd Place Finals- 5th Place (ADVANCED TO STATE) UIL 4A State Marching Contest: Prelims: 13th Place 2015 (Show Title: Earth Tone) (Music Selection: Etiquice by Eric Widiker and Earth Song by Michael Jackson) Before we start with this one, this would be a hard time for our band as our Head Director would leave in the middle of Band Camp because of reason's which caused the assistant director to become the head director.
