Royse City Marching Classic 2024
TexasStrangers replied to PXwhyBand's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Hahaha, yup the amount of people that would just simply walk across the street to Buccees was insane not to mention the amount of money some of those band students dropped in that place. -
Royse City Marching Classic 2024
TexasStrangers replied to PXwhyBand's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I think the last two years they did small school (2A/3A/4A) finals and a 5A/6A finals which I think the last award was given out near midnight. However, I'm hearing several schools decided not to go to Royse City this year because of other shows and also having to compete earlier this year in district/area. -
Here is the schedule I found. Bishop Lynch (2A) 8:15 Farmersville (4A) 8:30 Tom Bean (2A) 8:45 Collinsville (2A) 9:00 Whitewright (2A) 9:15 Honey Grove (2A) 9:30 BREAK S&S (3A) 10:00 Callisburg (3A) 10:15 Leonard (3A) 10:30 Gunter (3A) 10:45 Blue Ridge (3A) 11:00 Bells (3A) 11:15 Pilot Point (3A) 11:30 Howe (3A) 11:45 LUNCH Breckenridge (3A) 1:00 Queen City (3A) 1:15 Mineola (3A) 1:30 Community (4A) 1:45 Bonham (4A) 2:00 Van Alstyne (4A) 2:15 Wills Point (4A) 2:30 Pleasant Grove (4A) 2:45 Lorena (4A) 3:00 BREAK Denison (5A) 3:30 Terrell (5A) 3:45 South Garland (5A) 4:00 Red Oak (5A) 4:15 Sam Houston (6A) 4:30 James Martin (6A) 4:45 North Lamar (4A) 5:00 Tyler Junior College Exhibition 5:15 Drum Retreat 5:30 DINNER BREAK Celina Exhibition 7:00 Class 1A/2A Champion 7:15 Finals 1 7:30 Finals 2 7:45 Finals 3 8:00 Finals 4 8:15 Finals 5 8:30 Finals 6 8:45 BREAK Finals 7 9:15 Finals 8 9:30 Finals 9 9:45 Finals 10 10:00 Finals 11 10:15 Finals 12 10:30 FINALS RETREAT 10:45

Yeah, I was at this show last year and it was hot hot hot hot. Not to mention it was the first show of the year and several schools didn't have all their props and perform the entire show. I would have loved to seen 3A Mineola at this show. I think they finished 12th in Finals and I know they beat Celina in Prelims at Royse City last year.

Football 🏈 Halftime Shows

What about small bands? If you could go see some small bands who would you want to go see? I don't think small bands get a lot of love on here. -
UIL 3A Area B 2024
TexasStrangers replied to Dave609's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I hope Area B does well but other then Whitesboro, Holliday and Howe, historically there isn't much competition there. The big battle for 3A usually goes on out East. I hope I am wrong because I wish more bands could go to state and experience the excitement. -
1A-2A-3A UIL State Marching
TexasStrangers replied to bxOxAxUIL's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
well that's probably because those programs overall have numerous more students and parents that talk about it. Several of your small schools run anywhere from 40-100 kids compared to a 4A who might 200 kids. -
UIL 3A Area C 2024
TexasStrangers replied to BandConnoisseur's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I'm not shocked, they pretty much come in with a mission every year. I am looking forward to seeing what they do. -
If it is like last year then if a small school doesn't make the finals then they will probably have an exhibition. However, if I remember Mineola (3A) made it to the finals and they did not have an exhibition. With the amount of talent that was there last year and again this year, it's a huge measuring stick for a program and will be very difficult for a small school to make it to the finals.

Royse City Marching Classic 2024
TexasStrangers replied to PXwhyBand's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I expect within the next week or two you will see a schedule come out. So far, I have been noticing that some of the competitions are not filling up like before which might be a result of State Competition every year and schools needing the funding for that. This might be the reason why some of the schools that went last year will not be there this year. -
Congrats on Whitesboro winning, I thought Holiday possibly could have squeaked out a victory. I have not seen the individual scoring cards yet but I think in the end it just depended on which judges liked which show. I could see one judging group choosing Holiday and a different group choosing Mineola. The prelims scores looked a bit all over the place with one judge. With the State Contest now every year I see Whitesboro/Mineola/Holiday on another level with Atlanta closing the gap.
