TexasStrangers Posted October 29 Author Posted October 29 Just curious what everyone is thinking for the State Contest. I have seen over half the bands that will be at State and it's a very hard decision to decide on who will win. I think it's just too close to predict an easy win for anyone and whoever medals will have earned it for sure. Based on what I have seen so far this year. I think it's a 3-way Race for 1st between Atlanta/Mineola/Redwater. I believe if you had five different sets of judges they would all end up with a different team of the 3 on top. All three shows I think are capable of taking 1st and are just outstanding. I know there is some love for Whitesboro but they have lost to both Mineola and Commerce this season, maybe they made lots of improvements to their show in the past few weeks. Redwater beat Mineola early in the season on a judges tiebreaker (neither show was finished) but placed 2nd behind Mineola in Area C Finals by 1pt. Atlanta has beaten Redwater twice and was first in Area C Prelims until they were passed by Mineola and Redwater in Finals. Mineola beat Whitesboro at Princeton and was 3rd in Area C Prelims behind Atlanta/Redwater and performed before Redwater/Atlanta both times that day to win Area C. I could maybe see a CH Yoe or Raymondville sneaking in for a Top 5 maybe even a Commerce or perhaps a Whitesboro. Trumpeter75 1 Quote

I think Raymondville could get top 5. Can't wait to see how everything plays out! TexasStrangers 1 Quote
Kmt1 Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Lots of great bands. I don't think you can count out Whitesboro as they have a history of turning it up a notch at state and an experienced band. Same goes for CH Yoe and Holliday.....but no one from Area C should be excluded from discussion. Atlanta was fourth at area last year, yet ended up as the Bronze medalist band. Howe about that?

Definitely won't count out those bands! CH Yoe could even come in and return to the top 3! Will definitely be an exciting contest! Quote
LKendrick Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Raymondville should turn some heads. Loved them at 4A state last year. Dave609 1 Quote
Saxtastic45 Posted October 29 Posted October 29 I would say, Redwater for the win. Mineola Silver Atlanta or Howe for Bronze Trumpeter75 1 Quote
Trumpeter75 Posted October 29 Posted October 29 I think Redwater, if they have a run in finals that is on spot technically will win. They have the most exciting show in the field, they just have to make sure the small details are there to take the State championship. I think after that it is toss up of Mineola and Atlanta. Mineola had the best run I have seen of their show in finals of Area and beat Redwater by 1 pt, who did not have a flawless run technically in my opinion. I am interested in seeing CH Yoe, Holliday, and Howe shows since we don’t get to see those in east Texas much. Could be a dark horse that stepped down from 4a with all the redistricting that went on this year. It will definitely be an exciting day for all bands. Hope weather holds up. Do not want to go through another year of battling lighting and rain and temp drops to 40 while trying to get a 40ft stage together and down the hill. lol. Quote

There are quite a few to watch that are the usual top bands (Atlanta, Mineola, Redwater, Whitesboro, Commerce, Cameron Yoe) and a few others who I expect to step it up. utee94 1 Quote

Atlanta, Redwater, & Mineola. Those 3 will be fighting for the gold but groups like Cameron Yoe, Holliday and Raymondville may challenge them. utee94 1 Quote
