For the record Churchill made finals at Grand Nationals in 1998, 1999, 2002 and 2006

Cedar Ridge is actually competing at the California BOA regional

Let me say that Marcus had a show designed to be extremely successful at UIL in 2006, 08, 10 and 12, and at state they were successful wining four straight state championships. Those same years at BOA San Antonio they came in 3rd in 2006, 2nd in 2008 and won the regional championship in 2010 and 2012 sweeping all captions. In 2012 winning by around 3 points. Marcus knows how to design a show to win UIL and BOA arguably better than any other band in class 5a, now 6a, over the last 8 years, with the only exception being LD Bell. Never count out Marcus on a state year in either BOA or UIL.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! is all I can say after seeing bells show in finals. The ending that they did in SA was changed to where a huge white tarp was pulled out and filled the entire field. at the center of the tarp a colorguard member emerged completly in white and the other colorguard members were seen sticking out from beneath the tarp. AWSOME job Bell and I beleive you may have just one your first Eagle!!!!!!!!!

Best 4a State Finals - 1999
 
1st Coppell
2nd Keller
3rd Grapevine
4th Fossil Ridge
5th Dickenson
6th Colleyville Heritage
7th Poteet 
 
I have never seen 4a bands at that level before. Those finalists in 1999 could have competed with 5a's and truly held their own. IMO 1999 was also Poteets best show and performance, and the fact that it came in 7th tells you something about how great all finalists were. On a side note in finals for the first and only time to date their was a 4 way tie for 4th place. Something else to note the next year Coppell, Keller, Grapevine, Fossil Ridge and Colleyville Heritage all moved up to 5a.
