Coppell H.S., TX (calendar)

The Bell vs Dville vs Coppell rivalry used to go crazy from about 2006-2014 🔥

i feel like the biggest school in texas that has never gone to nats is coppell. like they have had rumors of going for almost like 5 years now but have not made the trip. they are long overdue and i really feel like they need to make the trip up to indy.

im gonna make my own

i only really said that because all we have from uil is really state prelims and finals. like sure area is great, but the majority of people agree that area scoring can be weird (even if it not always is). boa seems to be more consistent, especially taking into account how scores (mainly score gaps between bands) grow throughout the season. like i love being able to compare the early Austin, Houston and Dallas regionals to what we get in sa and nats, and you can’t really do that with uil.
i actually do like the uil scoring too, but i also feel like uil and boa are both too far on opposite ends of the spectrum. like i love seeing the brass, perc, ww rankings in uil, but then it raises the question if a coherent show is even needed if only 1 of the 7 judges is regarding design. the opposite is for boa, like percussion and guard is basically ignored in boa which sucks cause those are pretty major parts of the band. sure some captions are said to cover these but in reality, they are not really given the light of day, imo at least. honestly, i like the dci rubric the most cause its like a middle ground between the two.

ehh i kinda just took head to head competition more into account. like coppell beat pearland, ld bell, and bridgeland in state prelims and finals (tied with pearland but close enough) so i put them above them. obviously boa weighs heavier than uil, but that was all we had for the majority of dfw bands so i just took that and ran. same kinda thing for flo mo and twhs, flomo placed behind Marcus at uil, but then twhs placed above them at boa sa, so i decided to shove them all in the same region. it’s hard with all the different comps, but mainly just thinking about would have most likely happened alongside the results that we do have.

Coppell?

what about Allen, they have the the largest band program in the nation but does not usually face competitive success. sure, having more kids would be very helpful, but it’s hard to make the assumption that bowie and gp would automatically place higher with more kids. i love bands like rouse and argyle as they are so amazing and manage to be amazing with a small number of kids, especially when competing with giant bands like round rock, vandegrift, and vista.

We’re going to agree to disagree.   You’re essentially saying bands that build great tradition should then only compete against similar bands that haven’t.   A school scheduling against band as you say they have has made a choice.   It isn’t for the arts.  
 
schools that prioritize the arts - hire the teachers.   Allow lessons during the day.  Build the facilities.   All of it. 
just like athletics.     They hire the coaches.   Build the facilities.    Prioritize the activity.   Which then leads to interest and success. 

If you don’t want to compete against those bands - don’t.    There are lower level showcases and non judged expos that kids can march in.  
you can’t say you want to compete and then say you don’t like the game.     
enjoy the ride.   I’m sure the kids do.  

Coppell?
