  1. Looking forward to seeing the Wylie schools. Have not seen them this year! All 31 bands are solid.... I'm hoping for nice weather and camping out all day, ha. It's going to be 12 Amazing Bands in Finals and probably 6-8 more scratching their heads trying to figure out how they didn't make it!
  2. Missed tonight’s performance because we had to leave due to “band sibling” obligations but really enjoyed them at Mesquite festival and Rockwall football game. Hope to see them Saturday.
  3. I’m not official but I believe 31 made it. Only 2 I saw was NF. Horn score wasn’t showing but from someone else tonight (we had to leave after RHS), they scored a 1 as well.
  4. From Region 3 results, only seeing one “two” rating. What has me confused is there is 1, 6A band NOT showing results. 👀 👀 👀 Anyone know why Mesquite Horn Rating isn’t showing?
  5. It definitely hits differently at night too. If they can find a way into finals, I think Saturday night could be special. Hearing they got high praise from all 3 judges.
  6. Region 3 tonight….wow!!!!
  7. Ye shall ask, ye shall receive
  8. I get it. And if I were a bubble band that would benefit from them not making it and my band made a 1 by being on time, I’d definitely be in the sucks to be you crowd. Ha It is what it is. Just maybe be the official that sees it go 00’s look up and hear its the final and think…did i really see 00s 😂
  9. General Rant.....it's weird to go to Region 3 contest tonight, it's $10, just to see my child's band and get a rating. But to go to AREA on Saturday, it's $5 to see 30-32 AMAZING bands plus finals....but hey, you combined the two its still less than 1 BOA ticket for prelims, haha PS....after tonight, I may be able to make my top 12-15 predictions...few bands I want to see first that I haven't seen yet this season. But agree with so many that this Area is going to be tough to seed from 5-15. Think top 4 are pretty solid but also think top 4 can vary based on each bands march
  10. This website can be used to filter down to the Region contest you want https://www.texasmusicforms.com/marchrptuilpublic.asp#
  11. Good Luck to all the Region 3 Bands today! Let's make it 32 of 32 bands qualifying for Area this weekend. ALSO AN ENCOURAGEMENT.......I wish I could be there to cheer on Naamen Forest High School at 4:35pm. If you have never seen this band, they are 6A but don't have the size of a 6A band...their program is small but those kids WORK their BUTTS OFF, just like ALL OUR KIDS. They often receive 2's.....how awesome would it be if they got a STANDING ovation when done. Unfortunately, due to my wife and I both being teachers in Rockwall, we won't be able to get to Mesquite in time to see them march this year but sending great 1 vibes their way and hope to see them Saturday!
  12. The week before, at BOA DFW, Hebron had quite the delay before Finals performance...can you imagine if they were penalized and lost their spot? I get UIL is a different situation and "rules are rules" but we also need to have common sense grace. Do the right thing UIL....Let Lovejoy March on.
  13. Half way there! Let's get this FINISHED before Area Band! HA HA HA
  14. Great attitude! But still think you deserve benefit of doubt! Let them go to Area UIL
  15. Let’s take a mini break (kind of) from band and Area C. Who do you all like in ALCS? In how many? I will take Rangers in 6. Bonus question….. If the Astros were Hebron Who would the Rangers be?
  16. You can go to all regions here… https://www.texasmusicforms.com/marchrptuilpublic.asp
  17. What A you looking for?
  18. Thought they would do well there! Here’s to a solid Region performance and area prelim and let’s go BOTH RISD bands into Area Finals!
  19. The 4 Pods of C Pod A Hebron, Flower Mound, Marcus, Lewisville Pod B Prosper, Rock Hill, McKinney High, McKinney Boyd Pod C Rockwall, Rockwall Heath, Wylie, Wylie East Pod D Braswell, Sachse, Plano East, Allen Any given Saturday, one of these pods shows up at your contest without the other 3, your looking at a great day of band. You show up and 2 of these pods are both at the contest, you are looking at an incredible day of band. you show up and 3 of these pods are at your contest, your screaming not fair ALL 4 show up, you call it Area C Battle Royale!
  20. Feel for Lovejoy. These bands are such well oiled machines its hard to see how this happens. To me, to warrant a drop in rating it should be egregious. I heard 2 seconds for Lovejoy. Thats not egregious. Do we really think if one of the Big Dogs in 6A went over by 2 seconds the raters/officials would have the cahonies to drop them. Can you IMAGINE the uproar
  21. Only Region 3 hasn’t held Region yet. They have it Tuesday but so far every band has advanced. Could be looking at Top 6 to state again this year. I only see the potential of 1 Region 3 band getting a 2. Won’t name them but I really hope they pull a 1 this year. They are small for a 6A band but work just as hard as our bigger bands and would love see their show at Area. Have not seen the Wylies schools yet this year or Lewisville. I think Tuba’s predictions are pretty head on above. Bands 13-17 or 18 are probably one strong march away from making a run at finals though. Have a good week everyone and eat your Wheaties. Next Saturday will be a long day with many bands performing early and sitting on pens and needles rest of day.
  22. Prosper will be top 4. I would replace Sachse with Rockwall who has placed hire them two straight weekend in BOA prelims (neither made finals, so there’s that). I can see Lewisville going higher and Heath jumping to 12.
  23. Can’t wait to camp out at Mesquite Memorial next Saturday
