Never said it was a bad thing and it doesn't bother me. I was just going off numbers of bigger bands vs smaller bands in the Finals. The numbers speak for themselves. But I don't blame the districts either. It's the smart thing to do. More schools, more fine arts, more education, more kids, more growth, more opportunities, more wins, more revenue, more money, etc. I got it. Win win for them and well you since you're from Frisco lol. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Exactly!!!!! I've been saying this all along! Big facts! If you are out here in the DFW metroplex then know about the the Friscos, Prospers, Lewisville, etc. They've built so many new schools literally a few miles from each other and converted what could've been 2 or 3 6A schools to making them all 5A smh ( Frisco ISD ) Lebanon Trail, Wakeland, Lonestar? 😲 3 out of the 251 schools from the same district in the 5A State Championship finals? So unreal. Money talks .. MONEY absolutely talks for sure!! 🎯

I pondered these exact sentiments during the Finals no joke!!! Bigger band, bigger and stronger sound, makes for a better show imo! No matter how good a smaller band it won't ever be enough to ever outperform a large band that is solid. Thanks for doing the homework on this, I was interested to see the #'s and was surprised they were here lol. It's a crazy stat at the end of the day. Cheers.

Yes.. Marcus or dark horse FloMo. #dfw

I 1000th% concur. Rules are rules and can't pick and choose when to apply them especially when it's black and white. I most definitely agree ! Only way to fix it is add 15th to finals and go back to enforcing this rule immediately!

Lol yes most definitely! I will note those two schools you mentioned and try and make sure to watch them in prelims!! Going to be good fun and great competition! Good luck! May the odds be ever in your favor! 🤞🏾 Haha

BC wasn't at their best ( visual ) and placed 3rd, so I'm sure they're not going to complain. It's when they're at their best, how much of a jump will that be. Will it be enough? Richland has been solid all year and I thought they had enough to win last night, but Aledo had other plans. Aledo oozed of confidence last night like they knew they were the team to beat! It was a huge advantage they were able to perform last in the Finals too. BC should perform better at State and nothing against the other areas, but I firmly believe that the 5A State Champion will come from Area F. Should be a classic and I can't wait. 🫣 Get to S.A. next week if you get the chance! It will be one for the ages!

What were you saying Grad Dad?? I got there just before Aledo played, but I didn't need to see or hear any other band. Aledo was impressive tonight.

Not posted anywhere yet.

I may have just witnessed 1st place 😳. Wowwww. Aledo HS. 🔥🔥

Yes, I hope they all bring their "A game" in PRELIMS, because this very well may be the way that STATE is chosen if weather doesn't permit 😬

F is most definitely affected smh. I live not too far from where Area is for F on Saturday and it's been raining cats and dogs all week and is supposed to through the weekend as well. 🤦‍♂️

That last sentence is 100! Very interesting to see who gets in and the next 2 left out ( 5-6)! Beyond excited! Just hope the weather doesn't play a factor smh.

Uhhh, Azle will be at AREA for sure. They did BOA on 10/14 Lol
