We have the official list of all the bands in 5A area f bolded will be bands moving down from 6a underlined will be bands that moved up from 4a Bands with an * made 1s at region last year I will also include data If they made area finals/state Region 5 Cedar Hill* Mansfield Legacy* Midlothian * (24th Place at 5A State Prelims, 3rd Place Area Finalist) Midlothian Heritage* Timberview* Mansfield summit* Juan Seguin* Region 30 Eagle mountain* Arlington Heights* Azle* (7th Place Area finalist) Brewer* Burleson* Burleson Centennial* (9th place at 5A State finals, 2nd Place Area finalist ) Chisholm Trail* (9th Place Area Finalist) Cleburne* Everman* Polytechnic Fossil ridge* (10th Place Area FInalist) Joshua* North Side* Paschal* Saginaw* South Hills* Trimble Tech Wyatt Region 31 Birdville* (8th Place Area Finalist) Colleyville Heritage* (25th Place at 5A State Prelims, 5th Place Area Finalist) Creekview* Grapevine* (6th Place Area Finalist) Newman Smith* R.L. Turner* Richland* (11th Place at 5A State Finals, 4th Place Area finalist) Im a little surprised with aledo, granbury moving up to 6a area b and eagle mountain coming to area f (for I think the first time..) and then Cedar Hill + legacy moving down. I think this area will be a lot easier but still very very hard with 2 state finalists (not including aledo) and 4 advancing to state. There are 32 bands with 29 that got ones last year, sooo maybe we can see 6 bands advance to state next year. And if we do see 6 bands advance we could see grapevine kids or azle kids advance or maybe even birdville kids. We shall see, and with the added mix of these 4a bands and 6a bands we could see some change in the area finalists.

probably you bucko!!! all jokes aside birdville will be fine just depends on what they do between then and now. anyways after looking at these very political enrollment numbers we can HOPEFULLY say that only aledo moves up. Azle is right on the brink tho.

what if poteet doesn't make state? will this effect area b?

I believe they can make state next year unless something happens between then and now.

they would have to have caves, asphalt cocktail, symphonic mvt IV, and Niagara falls if they want to graze area finals. truthfully I know I said birdville out of finals (ragebait), but I believe they have the biggest shot making state since azle and aledo are gonna be gone. I think they can pull it together. I also heard cen10 might be moving up?

honestly last year was fun! it was nice seeing colleyville with a huge comeback and seeing richland,Burleson, and aledo make state finals! . I also don't know who is moving up at all in our area I just know that aledo is and maybe azle?? but anyways to the point (I wont include aledo and azle as i don't know exactly) 1st burleson with aledo gone I don't doubt that they will be the area champions this year, they are just insane I mean they beat cedar park in percussion at state. I do think they can place top 5 at state next year they def have the talent and the power to do so. I think we can ALL expect big things 2nd richland They just prove again and again how they are a top band in this area. Seeing them at state was an amazing experience I want to experience again. I believe that they COULD... be area champions and make state finals. they would just have to work hard since may/june (like everyone else). 3rd grapevine I can see this I feel that they are locked in for next year after getting 6th place 3 years in a row. Grapevine always has the peaceful shows (or that's just me) so maybe they might switch It up like how colleyville did in 2024. 4th midlo After seeing state results I'm a little bit dumb founded, I didn't have the pleasure of watching them but from what I heard they were insane. So I was a little surprised when I didn't hear midlos name get called for finals. but again this is all last year so maybe they will stack up against other bands and move up the rankings. they always find a way to come back 5th colleyville After an amazing come back last year I don't doubt that they will be even stronger this year. I enjoyed their show at state and it was pretty good. I'm very excited to see how they turn out this year and I'm rooting for them to make state again. (possibly state finals hehe) (state cutoff)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6th Chisholm trail I don't know to much about them other then them having an amazing season last year and I could only hear them from outside the stadium and they sounded amazing so props to them I'm also rooting for them to make finals again and maybe cross that state line for the first time since 2015. 7th saginaw This is a crazy take but i can totally see it. I would love to see saginaw make finals since 2022. they had an amazing show last year and I'm hoping they can top it off this year. theyve been very very close to making it this year and I was sad to not hear their name be called for finals. IM ROOTING FOR YALL! 8th fossil ridge I also have no knowledge about fossil ridge but i watched their show and it was good I'm hoping they can move up this year as i believe in them. I think we can see them getting close to that state line aswell expecting to see big things 9th Joshua I also had the pleasure of watching their show and it was good I believe they should've also made it this year aswell but that's my opinion. Im also excited to see them next year and I'm hoping they can come back and make area finals since 2022 aswell. 10th mansfield legacy I don't know to to much about them but they seem to be fine I can see them In the mix aswell. (finals cutoff)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think we can expect huge things from all of the bands that normally attend our area. its going to be sad to see aledo and azle possibly gone aswell so farewells to them. And i don't think we can expect birdville even near finals, they've fallen off and fallen off hard. I thought they had an amazing show and it was but it was excuted poorly. this is the 2nd time in a row that they've been predicted for state but it just hasnt happened and I dont think it will happen. But who knows area f is known to be the most surpisng area so we will see in Oct!

anyone have numbers for 5a area f?

happy area eve, very proud of all these bands!

happy area eve!

my predictions are simple and easy 1. Aledo (obv first pick) 2. Cen10 (always been on top and its between them and aledo for 1st) 3. Midlothian (I do like this new era of midlo I really like the show theme) 4. Birdville (best birdville I've seen in a while, most enjoyable show in area f this year. executed well) 5. Grapevine (its clean but musically its just not there. decent show theme) 6. Richland (its not bad at all, but they will be performing there closer for the first time at area, ive heard they've been sending there closer to people but its not the same as live feedback don't think they will cut it this year. 7. Azle (I don't know, the fire within is very cookie cutter but I'm sure they execute it well.) 8. Saginaw ( I love Saginaw and I was really disappointed when they didn't make area finals last year. but the comeback WILL be bigger then the set back.) 9. Joshua (beat brewer this year at spring town very very surprised with there show this year "northern lights" 10. Granbury (the fly over is really cool and I watched them and its very well put together) I'm looking forward to the judging for percussion and the new content scoring, I KNOW that it shake up alot of score

I think we all know that the Anaheim Kingsman will sweep, or the whole state of iowa will.

anyone on this forum attending this comp?

is this true?? where is granbury

this is just objectively correct good ranking

here's my prediction: 1st Keller 2nd Sachse 3rd Lovejoy 4th Duncanville 5th The Colony 6th Mansfield 7th Lake Ridge 8th Lake Belton 9th Colleyville Heritage 10th Byron Nelson
