Sorry im a little slow so correct me if I’m wrong but by opting up do you mean they’re choosing to compete in 6A despite being 5a. I didn’t even know you could do that lol.

As a Dville alumni, it’s nice to see them in a different setting from the usual bloodbath that is Area B but weirdly enough, I’m gonna miss it a little bit. When I saw the change, I nearly fainted because I thought they’d be going against the LISD trio before realizing they had also been moved into a new area 😂

Just noticed Forney jumped to 6A that’s exciting (unless they were already 6A)

Dang this is rough. I don’t want to make it seem like the LISD trio is completely untouchable but having only 3 or 4 state spots is going to be an uphill battle for a lot of programs.

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

Duncanville vs North Shore (mainly for football tho lol)

Darn 😢

Anyone know what happened to Timber Creek? Score seems surprising low to me compared to how they had been doing the whole season.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s random

Off topic but C. Moon is one of my old directors 😅

A little late to the party but huge congrats to Haltom and Berkner! Incredible incredible achievement and I’m sure those kids are just buzzing with excitement! Good luck in San Antonio!

Yeah that’s definitely one my favorite solos of the season. I remember being wowed the first time I heard it at prosper!

Crazy to think this is gonna be every year from now on instead of every 2

I can agree with this. I do think Dville has the potential to play more difficult music and they’re still new to marching and moving I guess in a more “modern” way so getting fruit in this regard will still take some time. With that said, I still feel that what they did put out was a very fun and well performed run. Finals worthy? Probably not but 22nd just feels harsh.

I think they’re waiting for the areas to wrap up before they release anything official. I could be wrong tho.

I know we mentioned it earlier but thank you again for your thorough and thoughtful coverage of this contest from prelims to finals. I think I can speak for just about everyone how much we appreciate the effort you put in today!

Usually I try not to dissect stuff related to GE (cause that’s just a wormhole I hate diving into) but yeah I have to agree with this. I know it’s not the biggest deal ever but stating something about a color as if it’s an irrefutable fact is way too questionable. I know this entire activity is subjective but cmon.

Posted either later tonight or tomorrow

What I’m wondering as well

I’m not even gonna try to predict it I was so off with prelims 😂

Gutted for Dville. Thought they were in the correct enough direction to squeeze into finals as I though they had a good run but then again I am biased so I’m also not too surprised at the same time. Also, gutted for Hendrickson. Thought they had a super fun show so I didn’t really see them getting left out. That’s the way the ball rolls sometimes tho! Congrats to all the bands performing this evening and can’t wait to see how everything ends after finals. Oh and congrats to LD Bell what an achievement for them!

Wow. Yeah I’m retiring from predictions omg 😂

Final prediction 1-2 (interchangeable): Wakeland, Keller 2-5 (interchangeable): Timber Creek, Prosper, LD Bell 6-9 (interchangeable): Southlake, Keller Central, Henny train, Waxahachie Bloodbath for the last 3 spots: Forney, Dville, Lake Highlands, McKinney, Boyd, Lake Ridge, Berkner, Rock Hill Great job to all the bands though this is already proving to be an amazing contest. Can’t wait for finals!

Darn I’m nervous lol

Halfway and these are the shows that’ve really popped for me are Southlake Carroll Dville Waxahachie: this group always plays with so much finesse and professionalism and this is no different. Keller: God I loved that that Mahler 2 closer. I’ve seen a lot of criticism towards Keller but I genuinely really like this show and believe it’ll do well in Indy come November! Rock Hill: Such a fun show and that shouting section had me hype. This show is packed with GE and I’m hoping they break into finals. Prosper: didn’t get to watch their show but heard they did very well. Wakeland: easily the winner for me of these first 2 blocks. Kept me on my toes the whole show with how powerful and cleanly they perform. Strong sections all around and man those mellos! Wonderful wouldn’t be surprised if they sweep captions!
