As someone who also was in the hanna band 2017-2021, I am also a bit biased but Hanna is always great consistently. I am excited to see what they put on the field this year Hanna always has musically pleasing shows. I like JBA, United, Weslaco, Los Fresnos, Harlingen and the Edinburgh schools they have some really good show designs as well with a bit of improvement they can all compete even those bands that didnt make area finals. Always push your band better just because I didnt mention you doesn't mean you all don't have a great band program anything is possible. The 1st and 2nd spot as well you never know. Los Fresnos has been improving really greatly musically lately thats what keeps pushing them higher every year. And remember band is supposed to be fun anyone can make state wish you all a great year!
