I got a few Seven Lakes: Great show last year and I think they’ll build off of that and return for an even stronger season. Forney: My current favorites to win Area C. I think they’ll take advantage of the chaos happening in Area C and hopefully challenge for finals at state. Braswell: Probably one of my favorite shows last season. If they were in any other area, I think they make state. Hopefully they can break through this time. LD Bell: They’ve been cycling threw off years and on years for the last decade. I’m hoping they lick their wounds and come back swinging in Area B Round Rock: Not sure if “dark horse” is the correct term for them as we all know they’re good. I’m just hoping for a little extra from them seeing as this is a grand nats year for them.

Looks like the district is holding a meeting tomorrow about this. I know most people on here aren’t affiliated with Duncanville’s program but any support would be greatly valued and appreciated!
-
It looks like he was forcefully forced to resign according to reputable sources I know in the program. This was Mr. Teals post on Facebook a couple days ago.

Ehhh this is just speculation on my part but DMI is one of the program’s biggest fundraising generators so I’d be surprised if admin chooses to ax it. This is just such a sad case, I just cannot possibly see how any of this benefits the kids in any way shape or form. It’s not like the kids were pushing for this, considering they advanced to state this year, had 7 all staters, and were at Music For All’s national convention. If that’s not a good year I don’t know what is. I’m still holding onto hope for a positive outcome but this has really been bumming me out…
-
It’s still too early to know what’s going happen. All we can do it hope for the best and support the program, students, and staff as they go through this challenging period.

Wow. I have so many thoughts about this. I have to go to work but all I can say right now is that this is awful and breaks my heart as an alumni, and as someone that owes a lot of who I am to this program. Duncanville is a pioneer to the marching arts here in Texas and has way too much history to go down in this fashion.
-
It’s honestly tough to tell until we actually see them on the field. I’ve seen director changes significantly hurt programs and I’ve seen programs not skip a beat and actually improve drastically as a result of director changes so there’s no real way to know until the season starts. I’m of the opinion that schools like Sachse and Waxahachie will be fine as I think they both have strong foundations and principles that they abide by and things may not be as volatile as we think. I could be wrong though who knows (not that I want to be wrong of course).

Current state of Area C…
-
This is how I imagine non LISD schools felt last year waking up to see they got stuck in Area J. 😭
-
?
-
Oh nice this one’s gonna be fun!
-
Wait so did Waxahachie lose Armstrong? Anyone able to confirm who/if Waxahachie is having director changes?
-
Dville had 4 trumpet all staters this year and I don’t think any of them were seniors! This next year will probably be their strongest high brass section ever. Really hope their show takes advantage of this and does more cool stuff like what they did with their screamer last year.
-
They do usually have a pretty big group so I’m sure that definitely adds to the cost. I remember walking past them in the lot at area my junior year and just thinking “woah I thought we had a big band”
-
This sucks they’ve grown so much in the last 10 years I thought this would be a great year for them to go
-
Pulling for Braswell this season. That closer was probably one of my favorite things to come out of the entirety of last season and I really wish I could’ve seen it at state.
-
I was thinking the same thing these two just can’t stay away from each other 😂 they’ve played each other 5 times in the last 6 years at the state championship game
-
Darn I really like Alexander’s show. Didn’t think they’d make finals or anything but wasn’t expecting last. Also a little surprised about Carroll, North Shore, Cypress Woods and all the Area C bands. I thought at least maybe Forney would be closer to that finals spot especially with their performance time. side tangent but as an alumni I’m a little bummed out about Dville at 32nd. I know scores aren’t everything but dang that one kinda stung a little bit. Regardless, that trumpet screamer and trombone duet is easily my favorite thing Dville has put on the field this decade and those kids should be super proud of the season and show they put on! I think all the right bands are in finals and just goes to show the level of depth here in Texas. And lastly big shoutout to Seven Lakes. Is this their first time in 6A finals? Someone feel free to correct me if it is or isn’t but huge congrats again to them regardless 👏🏽can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow!
-
I don’t even know where to start 😭
-
WOOOO AWESOME JOB DVILLE SO PROUD 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
-
I genuinely would love to see Lake Travis again tomorrow bravo! Really liked that ballad and those mellos really showed out in the opener. And that flute solo leading up to the big hit in the closer was such a great moment! Awesome job Lake Travis
-
Man Marcus that was awesome. That drum line is so crisp from start to finish and that entire woodwind section is so strong ripping out those crazy runs like it’s child’s play. Definitely one of my favorite shows from them and can’t wait to see it again tomorrow
-
