  1. Really! I just assumed that Hebron was skipping SA because they were going to GN. But that's gonna be a crazy 2 weeks for Hebron as they plan on doing all 3 (State, BOA SA, and BOA GNats). Haven't really seen any program that has dared to do all 3 before.
  2. Hebron's not going this year as they are going to GNats this year. I dunno about marcus though.
  3. Wow, so far only 10 bands registered. This one might be a freebie (when there isn't enough bands to have a true competition so every band makes finals no matter what).
  4. So I've just updated the list. West Mesquite is attending. It's looking like this one won't be as stacked as the Dallas Regional but it should be noticeable due to Fossil Ridge, Richland, and Byron Nelson attending.
  5. One thing I've just been concerned about is how the Crowley ISD bands stand here. Like imagine not making finals on your own home turf...
  6. Here's how I group the bands attending: Locks: Southlake Lewisville V.R. Eaton J.J. Pearce Likely: Burleson Burleson Centennial Mansfield Summit North Crowley North Forney John Horn Possible but not likely: Godley Weatherford Timberview Cleburne Joshua Lamar Everman Crowley
  7. As if this contest hasn't been stacked enough, John Horn is attending. This is probably going to be the most stacked contest in North Texas. Even more so than Plano East, Wylie, and HEB.
  8. The schedule for this contest has been released: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zosuut2mq8b66S1Sx1LbKDuhrmyCzrjA
  9. It looks like Boswell is going here instead of USBands Dallas according to their calendar.
  10. Are you sure they are going? They're not on the USBands website yet.
  11. Wylie East will not be attending as they will be attending BOA Midland instead.
  12. Thank you! I was for a while, having trouble finding contests outside of the DFW area. But I think for this time, I'm just going to keep it Texas specific with the exceptions being St. Louis and GNats.
  13. Yes, I am going to need some help. I don't really know about a lot of non BOA/USBands contests outside of the DFW area. So if y'all know any other contests, please post them here.
  14. So here is the schedule for every Competition in Texas in 2023. I've decided to make all in one place. I've seen people do something like this before, and I wanted to give it a try. Of course, this is a WIP and is not complete, but will be updated frequently. Here is the link to the google sheets template I made: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l6t-pDPDb4suysYNMYQErTJ5fBW2zOyquFA9EXD2n3E/edit#gid=0
  15. Is there anymore confirmed bands for this contest? I figured there would be more by now.
  16. If anything Mansfield, Summit, and Burleson need to watch their backs. These bands have dropped several spots this past year compared to 2021.
  17. I absolutely agree that North Forney is better than North Crowley and Cleburne, but you shouldn't vote them out just yet because both bands have made great improvements at area this year. Cleburne managed to beat bands like Southwest, Burleson, Joshua, and Timberview. As for North Crowley, they made a pretty decent placement at area this past year, being a band that didn't qualify for area last year. They beat bands they normally never beat like Arlington, Irving, Desoto, and Weatherford. This really is getting hard to predict, I tell you.
  18. Yeah, I forgot about North Forney. I didn't get to see them this past season and I was surprised by how low they placed at area. Extremely underrated band and its just a shadow of Forney High, it seems like.
  19. I've decided to update the finals predictions, and this time provide some commentary for the reasoning of my predictions.
  20. Well it looks like Summit is now going as well.
  21. With Boswell not going, I've decided to change my finals predictions. Now Weatherford is on the list.
  22. I think Boswell might've changed their mind about both this comp and USBands Saginaw, because they are no longer listed. They might've decided to go with the Melissa Marching Showcase instead for the 23rd, but have no idea what they plan for the 30th (the same day as this comp). Maybe HEB because they went there several times in the past. But only time will tell as their calendar has not been made for this season.
  23. But I just feel like none of the state finals tier bands go to Birdville anymore with BOA Prosper starting last year. Several bands like Aledo, Azle, Colleyville Heritage, Burleson Centennial, etc. skipped this comp for BOA Prosper. But a few of them have come back. It just seems like this contest is mostly gonna be mid-low tier bands now with it NOT being the only show in town like years before.
  24. But I will say, one thing I don't like about USBands is that the class champion will advance to finals regardless of placement. This means that some bands that are finals worthy will be forced to miss out because of this. It happened at USBands Burleson last year when Parkway and Lamar didn't make finals, but Everman and Westwood did. It should really be like other local and BOA contests which the class champions that doesn't qualify for finals perform in exhibition instead of just steal a finalist spot.
  25. Yes I just noticed that. It would make more sense to go to a contest that way closer to them than to drive 5 hours for this one. I'll go ahead and remove them.
