Does anyone have recordings of Berkner(Full show)? I guess since they haven't been to any comps no one has really gotten any but I would have expected a football game run to post by now.

Hey band kids, reminder to thank your band parents as the season goes on and they are helping chaperone.

Very interesting, thanks for that insight

I think they have to show up to area to be counted. Could be wrong but getting confirmation would be great

For sure, I think the top 5 and bottom 5 will have a pretty big point gap since Wax and Lake Highlands work on totally different levels. I'm starting to think there will be a competition between state (Wax, Sashse, Forney, DVille, maybe Berkner and RockWall as well) and then one for bottom 5 (Berkner, Lake Highlands, JJ, Mesquite, ext). Those bottom bands for finals will still be great but I think there will be a pretty large gap.

Any got a video of sachse from Waco?

I think that was the same at BOA Dallas. They were only like 3 points off from finals. Also we need to take into mind that Berkner hasn't preformed in a comp for several weeks so until UIL (Unless any parents want to speak up) we won't really know for sure how much work they have done. I think this last month of the season is when the most improvement happens so I would expect Berkner to jump a place or two in area from where we had them in predictions.

Does anyone know how a band gets invited here or why requirements they have to meet?

those are the ones I use too, sorry I forgot to send it.

I'll send you a like to the one's my family uses. I'm not home right now so I can't send it rn but if its not to late I'll suggest some.

Does anyone have a video of Forney, Waxahachie, and Rockwall. I haven't been able to see them yet and I'm starting the realize how tight this contest will end up being for the top 4 spots.

Congrats, unfortunately I don't personally have the funds to get you a jacket.

I think staying in highschool band gets you better prepared for DCI but I know I've been told to stay in highschool band but go to an audition day in your area just to check things out.

I'm aware they are good but it just didn't feel right, Imo there were a lot better of bands there that should have taken 2nd place such as Trinity and Sachse as I mentioned earlier. Also over the past few years Dville has been losing their shimmer again just my opinion. I also may just be attached to the crowd pleasing shows and since I didn't feel touched by the show I didn't expect them to do well.

Anyone else notice that Sachse's preshow was the same as Troopers this year?

Either go to the Area C topic or you can look on the TMEA Uil website I believe.

I was surprised by how well they did compared to how difficult finals were. Trinity, Sachse, Keller, and other good bands made me think that they would get around 7th but I'm glad to see they did well.

After watching finals at Birdville my whole perception for area is different. Wax Sachse Forney Wild card (Berkner, Rockwall, JJ, Dville)

I believe it is similar to all region where there is a rotation of judges. At least that's how it was when I was in school. My percussion director would always talk about how our judge was his judge in high school and stuff.

It was my first time to see Hebron in person and I was just totally blown away. No idea how they do it.

I don't think high school kids typically say thank you to the band parents and for the amount of work they put in makes me disappointed. I just want to tell them all thanks for their service to the sport we love.

Has anyone seen Waxahachie's show this year? Wondering its any good and BOA worthy.
