Trinity, Sachse, Keller, and other good bands made me think that they would get around 7th but I'm glad to see they did well. Dville has always been a solid group so a 2nd place finish at Birdville isn’t an anomaly Quote

BoneGuy4 Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 I’m not saying anything bad about North Forney, but are they doing good this season. I know they didn’t do that best last year, so I’m just curious why you think they’ll beat Berkner and Royce city. Again please don’t think I’m saying anything bad about these bands. Quote
JFNDOWBFAN Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 It’s Royse City, but considering I still hear people say Rockwell, so I guess it could be worse. Quote

Yes, but the fact that Rockwall was able to make finals at Prosper really shows me personally they weren’t happy with how McKinney went, and that’s exactly what they showed me Prosper, but I could def see Pearce break into the top 5 here JFNDOWBFAN, Maxophone and SaxSoldier 3 Quote

Also over the past few years Dville has been losing their shimmer again just my opinion. I also may just be attached to the crowd pleasing shows and since I didn't feel touched by the show I didn't expect them to do well. Quote

I haven't seen rockwall's show yet so I would be interested to know how they are doing. Berkner imo isn't as strong as they were last season. I expect them to make finals, but unless they've had some major changes, I feel like the 10th-7th range is appropriate for them. Rockwall's show is amazing! Perfect show for UIL, and Boa as well apparently. Making finals at Prosper I'd imagine has been a huge confidence boost for the program, and I expect them to do very well here.

I also may just be attached to the crowd pleasing shows and since I didn't feel touched by the show I didn't expect them to do well. Fair enough. The show is a celebration of the Dville band’s 70th anniversary so it’s understandable that someone may not be super touched by the show if they don’t already have some emotional connection to the program (or any other reason one would not be touched by a show). I think it’s a cool show regardless of if you have some past connection with the program or not but different strokes for different folks you know. osito777 and Tubalord11 2 Quote

My mind has slept a Few times since the past 2 areas but Rockwall and Sac have been pretty close right behind the Top Dogs, Wylies, and McKinney’s. Wouldn’t be surprised if one year one was higher and the next they flipped. CosmicLimbo 1 Quote

Taako2027 Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 I don't think berkner looks nearly as strong this year. Also, I think we should take into account US Bands Dallas Regionals and how Richardson did there---that showing would def affect area standings. I'll wait until after BOA Waco to decide more---thoughts? Quote

Typically having some pretty fun music in the shows. I definitely agree, though unfortunately that’s not what the judges are looking for, but they have a very entertaining show this year again! Quote

Placement definitely means something, but for this specific regional, I would have expected Richardson to be top 4. Should make finals here, state will depend on the day Quote

SaltySynth Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Does anyone have a video of Forney, Waxahachie, and Rockwall. I haven't been able to see them yet and I'm starting the realize how tight this contest will end up being for the top 4 spots. Quote
Bbowman615 Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 I’m just happy they removed the Lewisville district schools from this or this contest would be a juggernaut to get to state Tubalord11 1 Quote
