The clips I’ve seen are promising but we’ll have a much better idea through this contest as I think it’s their first.

Not sure about Berkner but I’ve seen a couple snippets of Dville and I really enjoyed what I saw and heard! They seem to be taking more risks musically which is something I’ve wanted to see from them for a while now.

No for reals I’m even more excited now after seeing how close Waxahachie and Forney were at HEB 👀

Will definitely be attending this one. DMI is always a lot of fun

Wow I didn’t know that at all thanks for educating me on that. That’s really unfortunate I hope they can bounce back at some point

Fair enough on Horn. I just remember them having that great run in Area C that one year so I’ve always had them in mind since then so hoping to see a return to form from them sometime soon.

I really like the balance of this area tbh. Even with Waxahachie and Forney being the front runners, it feels like a lot of groups, even some that aren’t mentioned as often but are still know for being excellent such as Sachse, John Horn, and Lake Highlands could definitely have a shot at top 4 if they play their cards correctly. I also think 4 state spots seems pretty fair (imo at least) for this group as it feels achievable to snag a spot but is also not a walk in the park either. I do wish things were a little more balanced for our friends in Area B and J tho. As for Berkner, I think this is a great opportunity for them to build on last year’s success and hopefully start producing more state appearances. Finally, something I’d really like to see is for Lake Highlands to make a great run and snag one of those spots. They were consistent finalists in Area B these last couple years and with the right show and execution, they can definitely find success here.

Anyone catch the Dville/Waxahachie game yesterday? Was wondering what these 2 groups are looking like right now

No more Bell?

Just saw this announced via the US Bands Instagram and website https://usbands.org/events/details.php?ID=1015 Not super familiar with US Bands stuff but this lineup definitely caught my attention. Coppell HS Duncanville HS Flower Mound HS Hebron HS Keller Central HS Southlake Carroll HS Marcus HS LD Bell HS I think this’ll be interesting to see some of the DFW groups in action right before state and BOA San Antonio!

Dville Band’s Platinum/70th year anniversary! 2024 Repertoire: Crown Imperial - Walton Terpischore - Margolis Waldstein Piano Sonata - Beethoven Yesterday - The Beatles Come Together - The Beatles Royal - Lorde Finale from The Six (Musical) Check out the announcement video on Instagram it’s pretty cool! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6kn2PfswnE/?igsh=anJ2YWFlNGM4ejNv

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.
