The CP/Leander rivalry has been around since the mid 2000’s. these days I’m not sure rivalry is the right word though, lots of positivity and support in the competitiveness of LISD these days BDC, utee94 and BaritoneBallah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utee94 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Cedar Park - Vandegrift is also a big rivalry. Less so since Vandy went 6A and CP stayed 5A, but Vandy was "born of" CP back in the day, and many of the teachers and band instructors have moved from one to the other and cross-pollinated. Also, some might not know, that one of the band directors at CP, is married to one of the band directors at Vista Ridge. Lots of fun, friendly competition and back-and-forth between those two groups, as well. Like @natertater21000 said, it feels less like rivalry and more like positive support from group to group. Except, EVERYONE still desperately wants to beat Vandegrift. When you're the best, you're always going to have that target.

tylerolivera Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 For 4A definitely Anna vs Celina vs Canton With Anna moving up itll most likely be Celina vs Canton vs Panther Creek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerolivera Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I also know that Mineola vs Whitesboro is pretty big Dave609 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Bass 4 Guy Out Of DFW Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Wylie vs Wylie East is a big one too, especially with them both now being 6A TheBbMarcher and JazzRun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave609 Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Legit, North Lamar VS Area C. Its not a specific rivalry with a specific school, but I always felt that it was always Area C bands trying to dethrone North Lamar every time at Area and they would always come out on top. One of my favorite Area's to watch because of it Another example I can think of is Argyle VS Area B when they were a 3A-4A. Argyle HS normally won the area, but in some moments, mainly in 2016, a school would place above them. I think the only schools that come to mind for me is Canton HS and Princeton HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure it wont be the end of a legacy.. they'll come back strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddlynormal Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 LD Bell and Trinity is always huge. Bell beat Trinity this year in football for the first time...in a VERY VERY long time. Even I was in disbelief when I saw the score. That game is nuts every year even though the outcome is usually the same every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarinetistkai05 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Forney Rivalries: Two for Marching Band Forney vs Aledo (always neck to neck) Forney vs Lone Star vs Burleson Centennial (because we often come neck to neck) Two for Football Forney vs Poteet (pre covid days) Forney vs Longview Now one for everything Forney vs North Forney (yeah it’s pretty much common sense for this to be the hugest rivalry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrenBS Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 LISD Vs. giving 3 state slots to area C lol In all seriousness, locally there really isnt a spoken rivalry between the McKinney schools, they are all just trying to get ahead of each other but their shows are so distinct in style its really hard to compare them to each other, I think North executes the best, while Boyd has the best individual musicianship, and high is well rounded nowadays, next year will likely see them butting heads more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csxmii Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I have always tended to see rivalries in pretty much every MISD school except timber view. Legacy to Mansfield, Mansfield to legacy, Mansfield to Lake Ridge. All seem to have some sort of disliking towards each other with what I’ve seen in other threads. Of course the only actual competitive rivalry is legacy to Mansfield, since lake ridge tends to dominate MISD. Also I heard Lake Ridge was going to the music for all festival in Indianapolis 🤯🤯 That Bass 4 Guy Out Of DFW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
