Anyone else see that AMP had to withdraw from finals?? Very sad for them ☹️.

very excited for the dallas regional!!!

AVONNNNNNNNNN

congrats to every band that competed today! you should all be very very proud !!

i was more saying that i was surprised about lake ridge missing finals—their show wasn’t as strong as last year’s, but it was still impressive and felt finals-worthy. also, i feel that mansfield had a far better performance than they did last year, but they placed the exact same. i do agree with you, though, and i’m not discrediting your opinion at all!! just my two cents as well haha

very surprised about the mansfield schools placing as low as they did— and KC not making state!! loved their show so much. very happy for haltom though!

retreat is at 6

yeah lol i quoted myself after birdville and said i take it back

yeah i take the summit comment back 😭 still a good show though

ahhh i am feeling so weird right now. my senior year marching season is about to come to an end, and while i’m sad about it, i’m so tired and done with it!! burnout is keeping me from fully enjoying my last moments with this band and it’s so. . does anyone else feel like this? or am i just weird?

how do y’all think the 6a area b ratings are going to play out? do you think 7 bands will be going to state from that area this year ?

i met some of duncanville’s band recently and they’re all so nice! really hoping the best for them this season

i’m very excited for this area as well! i could definitely see summit slipping back into state this year, but aledo is my only lock at the current moment. maybe i need to do a little more research….

carroll’s show is SOOOOO GOOOD oh my goodness i love it so much. maybe im just a sucker for pretty shows but it’s very up my alley haha

pls ignore the edit i fudged that list BAD its been a long day lol. also keep in mind that i am a guard kid that didn’t know much about the details of marching band until this year don’t be too hard on me 😖

i think my top 20 is this for now (will def change after this weekends competitions!) 1. coppell 2. timber creek 3. keller 4. waxahachie 5. duncanville (could switch with waxahachie depending) 6. SLC 7. bell 8. keller central 9. lake highlands 10. berkner 11. highland park 12. lake ridge 13. haltom 14. fossil ridge 15. boswell 16. mansfield 17. trinity 18. martin 19. legacy 20. chisholm trail

imo lake ridge’s show is weaker than it has been in the past few years…they are definitely very skilled and im not saying they’re going to get knocked out of finals but i am keeping that in mind when i make my predictions. btw, does anyone have a video of haltom’s show? i can’t seem to find one. i love this time of year lol i love area. very excited to see everyone perform next saturday!

i agree! i would argue that duncanville could slip in there somewhere, but admittedly i haven’t seen their full show this year haha. if it’s anything like the past few years, i could definitely see them being a lock. i know this is just for finals, but i honestly think finals won’t be as predictable this year. the past two years have shown a common trend in which schools advance to finals, as this is arguably one of the most stacked areas, but i could definitely see a few shocks this season! super excited to see how this plays out.

who are y’all’s locks for state? i know they were said earlier in the thread, but things have definitely changed since then….

anyone have full results for this region yet? who all has gone so far? the uil websites are borderline impossible to navigate on my phone, lol.

just curious, what do you mean by dismantled?

i know a lot of people were counting on martin to make finals, but they seem to be having a hard time adjusting this year. (though maybe they’ll pull it together before area!) anyone have any guesses on who could take their place in that finals spot ?

idk i think mansfields show is pretty strong this year but i could definitely see martin winning lol. really just depends on the boa thing and if mansfield locks in…they did decent at usbands but i’m wondering if it’s enough. just my two cents though. good luck to everyone competing today!

y’all think it’s gonna be a mansfield sweep again this year? curious to know ur thoughts….
