JFNDOWBFAN

Can’t wait to hear how RHHS’s run goes! They should be on now!

Safe travels and strong marches to all these bands!

Both bands had some nice moments and a few “hmmms”. 😂 In 2 weeks, when both are polished.🤯

🤔

Rockwall football host Forney tonight, so that should be a great halftime experience! Mano y mano

Awesome, thanks...yup, I'm going to need the RHS OWB to kick butt in prelims and get into those last block of finalist so I can get my 3rd kid where she needs to be and be back! Ha.

I have a crazy hunch that this contest is going to have some eyebrow raising results. Hebron will march away with a 2-3 point win imo. However, I have a sneaking feeling that Rockwall is going to sneak up on someone like Keller, SLC, or Wylie. Even though all 3 beat Rockwall at BOA prosper….OWB going to surprise someone and leave them wondering what happened. Super curious to see point differences between the Area 6C bands going 1 week out from Area…contest. Depending how things fall, it could be a mad dash to Nov 2 and that 6AC board will be 🔥 🔥 🔥 for the week.

An 1.5 hour break, after just 4 bands seems strange to me. Awards at 4, and all 16 bands going to finals…anybody have a a guess on what time finals would start (my guess is 6pm) and how they have ordered finals in past? Have a 3rd child with a commitment that day we have to work around. 😂

Can’t wait to see Heath’s full show! I think they can compete for finals spot. I know many were surprised they didn't make Don Hanna Finals (missed by a point)….but I heard there show wasn’t complete yet and didn’t have enough on field to be scored completely 🤷. We shall see. I don’t expect them to make finals at Waco. This will be their first time dipping their toes in at BoA. But I hope its a great experience for the kids and can give them a boost of confidence going into area. I feel like they are really challenging themselves vs going to a Royse City contest they have Grand Championed at the past few years. That’s no disrespect to the RC contest. But the McKinney and BOA’s is simply a step up in competition. Go Heath!

Still will be, lol less spots and added Wax and Forney!

Patches alone would break me 😂

Just realized it’s my 2 years txband forumverrsary! 🎉 😂 Do I get a patch for my parent letter jacket?

Rockwall has held their own with Sac the past few years. My mind has slept a Few times since the past 2 areas but Rockwall and Sac have been pretty close right behind the Top Dogs, Wylies, and McKinney’s. Wouldn’t be surprised if one year one was higher and the next they flipped.

That paper rock scissors for 2 spots could be tense. What would one ☝️ of these 3 have to do to separate from the other two and maybe compete with 1 and 2?

It’s Royse City, but considering I still hear people say Rockwell, so I guess it could be worse.

Hypothetical question @Tubalord11, coming off Rockwall’s first BOA final at Prosper, could they make finals here? They aren’t competing, strictly curious. Who are some dark horses to make finals here?

But we all know the top 5 SHOULD be... 1. Rockwall 2. Rockwall 3. BoneGuy4 4. Rockwall 5. Rockwall Captions Music/Guard/Percussion Rockwall Caption Visual/General Effect BoneGuy4

Believe this all 6A schools, would be removed from order if don’t qualify for area.

@MoBone Area C 6A

Not a bad list at all. Having seen many of these bands already this year…..I would probably agree Marcus of Hebron right now….but honestly, probably a best 2 of three paper, rock, scissors with a few ties in there. I would flip 7-8, 10-11, 14-15 But would not be shocked at all to see your lisy unfold.

Agreed. Love how these bands support each other. Probably helps that some members were in band together at Utley. Hope that doesn’t change when New Middle School 4 opens next year and there is a true split.

Have sworn off predictions after happy and sad surprises this year….haha. However, maybe I will try again. I found the list of judges, need to see what I can find out about them. Question, because it may impact predictions…their visual judges say “GE/Visual” do they use a boa model of judging here over uil?

My personal favorite is probably Hamilton or the Lion King? Should I make more?
