Looks ok to me, I’ll allow it. Haha

Educational research day. Let me know if you need an excuse note

I’m more curious about unofficial practices 😂

Genuinely curious how you perceive block scheduling impacts bands? The UIL determines the exact amount of rehearsal hours you can work on a show each week, no?

I’d put them all just behind that little 6A band buzzing around just east of you

It’s not what you can afford, it’s what you can do with what you can afford.

Wouldn’t know by their marching. I work at a title 1 school (another hint to JFND fans trying to figure me out). Title 1 kids are the best and so are band kids…so title 1 bands kids are fricking amazing in my book!

The adults are doing the best they can for everybody involved. Our Area (C) postponed until Tuesday and then the Mesquite area was dry on Saturday 🤦‍♂️ Here’s hoping for a nice Tuesday!

We would be hard pressed to find an area that doesn’t think their top 2-3 are a bloodbath. It’s just a super bloodbath for J. I think Prosper, Braswell, Wylie (to name 3) can push for top 3 every year. Won’t Be easy to go up against the machines but they will give it a shot.

This year its top 5 bottom 5 and the. Random order within. So, yes, Wylie knew they were bottom 5. But would be shocked if they were not 6th.

Well said

It’s not about playing hard music. It’s the whole show in comparison to the whole show of other bands.

Just checking in on all of our Area C peeps after the day long monsoon. Hope everyone is able to dry out today and be ready for Tuesday;) PS- the rain has cleared out my eyes and shown me the results. 1) Rockwall 2) Waxahachie 3) Forney 4) Duncanville

Made the trip out to finals…..saw all 10 bands. Can’t argue too much with the results 1-10. I personally would have flipped Braswell and Prosper based on finals. Many thought that 4th spot would be Prosper/Wylie so props to Braswell cracking top 5. I personally would have flipped Flower Mound and Hebron at the top.

Will have my recap of finals later or tomorrow…. But first…a vent Area J….I know we are new….but… pay extra for to parking lot attendants and police doing traffic control. This is ridiculous

That’s unfortunate. Hopefully they can stay hydrated and get a finals run.

Thinking about coming out for finals if weather stays clear!

Jealous of Area J marching. Adrenaline was pumping for C just to be postponed

1) Marcus 2) Hebron 3) FloMo 4) Wylie I really went out on a limb there.

I’m not 💯 but I can’t think of a band contest Ive been to that didnt allow you to come in and out.

See you Tuesday, Area C

I have been waiting for my big "500th" post to come and here it is.... I declare, predict, manifest...... THE Orange Wave Band from Rockwall, Texas will advance to the STATE MARCHING CONTEST in the 1-4th position....(the official prediction contest I have them 2....but I think anywhere 1-4 is possible! Peaking at the right time! *GO AWAY RAIN*

Who's ready to see some new faces in San Antonio.....

It’s 10 at finals. Least for Area C with 4 state spots

I doubt it was a conscious decision to march an ineligible marcher. If they realized after fact, and then reported themselves...as much as it sucks...they did the honorable thing. It's rough though. I don't know much about this Area...would they have contended for a State spot themselves? Wish the system was something solid like 5 bands per area no matter size. Will definitely feel for the band that finishes 5th....but there will be AMAZING bands in in C and J that also will miss state because Region is LOADED but has a smaller number of bands.
