Marcus, Flower Mound, and Hebron obviously have a rivalry that runs deep on the field, but I think the respect that those three schools have for each other is also pretty unique. I remember when Hebron won their first medal at state in 2012, Marcus was walking by the Hebron busses on our way home and they took a moment to celebrate with us and really uplift us. That’s the kind of interschool relationship that makes this activity fun.

well, marcus won state that year so what did you expect? its a power move

This was coming off a 2011 season where Hebron didn’t even make finals at San Antonio. None of us expected to be anywhere close to the medal stand at state in 2012. I could see your point if it were present day Vandegrift and Hebron having this interaction, two schools at the height of their powers and in constant competition, but this was an entirely different situation.

"didn't even make finals"

He was referring to BOA SA, there was no 5A state contest in 2011.

I also know that Mineola vs Whitesboro is pretty big

I would think that Mineola vs any 3A school, but Winnsboro put a target on them for sure... especially since 2 of their band directors have gone to Mineola in the past 4 years.

Hebron was 23 ordinal points behind Marcus that year. Hard to compare because they still used a five judge panel as opposed to the current seven judge system. For the sake of my point, let’s look at the area j contest this year, which uses five judges. Hebron won with a score of 7. 22 points behind them was Prosper, and 24 behind them was Braswell. Both amazing groups, especially relative to the average Texas band, but I don’t think most people could say they’re “close” to Hebron.

go ahead and add Cy-Fair

As someone who goes to Cy-Fair, I can confirm the three way rivalry is alive and well.

[BbMarching]

This was already mentioned but yeah Wylie East vs Wylie is a major one

[OGFISD99]

Another rivalry I don't see here is Lone Star high school  and Wakeland high school..... they're literally about  3 miles from each other.... 

[tromboneczar554]

Reedy vs. Wakeland

[bassboneman]

Jordan vs Tomkins... We always are trying to out play each other in band but we love each other's bands and have mad respect for each other 

[Band Dad 2021]

Everybody in Frisco TX vs Wakeland. Especially Lone Star and Reedy. It’s like clockwork that the trash talking starts every season.

[OGFISD99]

Here in Frisco it's only Lone Star and Wakeland that are rivals......... from what i see..... Lone Star's musicality is much stronger than Wakeland but Wakeland's drill and GE is stronger than  Lone Star's....... if either one could master both they'd be really  competing against CP for state.... 

[TrumpetDad2027]

7L and Jordan for sure. Was there before the KMF last year, and only intensified. 
 

I know it’s driving Jordan to be better. And I hope they make it to state with us this year!

our natural rival is Cinco, but we really don’t have a beef. 

[BassistNo1]

Ok but why is Timber Creek and Keller not on here?

[lunareclipse18]

Grapevine and Colleyville Heritage as well

[1q2s3e4f]

not really a rivalry but if you see a lot of the good bands in SA are within ten minutes of each other and have phenomenal football teams that play each other annually...

[Cooper Targaryen]

Lakeview Centennial vs Sachse!
