I have a feeling this is the year where someone from that bottom seven in finals last year will go to state

Saw some videos of bands in this area and man this Area is going to be crazy this year. I remember back in 2016-2018 when this area was not this active but now the amount of potential that has risen has skyrocketed it!

The Main 2 I want to talk about is Bridgeland and Woods

Bridgeland with their show - Cerulean - is very wonderful! The music they are playing fits the vibes for the show well, and they already got a lot on. Can not wait to see them this year.

Woods and their show this year being - (It was hard to hear the name of the show in the video recording. Duo something) - Is very, VERY different from any show they have done. They are pushing their talent further and further year after year. I remember them back in the 2010s and I never expected them to reach this far. Can not wait.

Other than that, I am going to go make a post on my OG Area, can not wait to see what this Area in store this year!

Super intendent of every district in Texas here, (sideswiperr) I can not confirm what Katy is doing, they’re holding it like it’s a secret only the FBI knows.

Yeah in the Company of Crows sounds like exactly what I thought. Would be a missed opportunity if they didn’t use blackbird or the firebird suite!

Jordan show is really DARK ✂️

Since this forum has been quiet I’m gonna kick off a strand of predictions 

[Clamp]

1 Bridgeland-they honestly won’t be slowing down for awhile I wanna see where they place in state and if they can crack the top 8

2-4 seven lakes- it was very surprising to see them make state finals after placing fourth at area I hopethey’ll use that momentum to once again reach state finals

2-5 cy woods- i honestly expected them to make state finals after barely losing the area championship and their show was amazing this year I think they will maintain there relative state spot with an outside chance at state finals

2-6 cy fair- this is the first year where I genuinely think cy fair has a chance at not making state although unlikely they took a step back last year and others around them didn’t 

4-7 Jet- I still have no clue who to put in this fifth state spot as anything could happen I have about four bands who could take this spot only time will tell what happens I only put jet here as they have been the most consistent in there placing 

4-9 Langham creek- HOT TAKE I got it right with Langham last year tying for eight with Tompkins. I’ve heard there show from a friend and man it’s a huge step of from last year if they can continue to be the uil oriented band they are they can easily climb the ranks many people don’t have any hope or praise for this group and it’s sad to see especially with the greatness they once had I saw there percs indoor show and that should help since they were a weakness overall last year with there school population growing they’ll have a higher talent pool to choose from and hopefully surprise us all

4-8 Jordan- Last year at one point Jordan was a lock for state to me but come area it did not come to fruition could it be a case of bad judging maybe but that surely took most if not all the momentum they had building I hope they come back strong this year and fight for a state spot(yes I am stirring up a rivalry with them and Langham as the head directors daughter for Jordan works at Langham)

4-9 cinco ranch- i absolutely loved there show last year it was creative and really suited there band it wasn’t the cleanest show and I think that and losing the fifth state spot really hurt them I have them also fighting for state once again and trying to take back that spot again

7-11 Tompkins- Tompkins took a step back from there stage year and it showed they aren’t the band they once were they have the capabilities to bounce back so I don’t think they’ll miss finals but states gonna be hard 

8-11 cy ranch- cy ranch last year seemed to platue beating Langham at boa then losing to them at area I don’t have much to say about them but I think they have a strong chance at finals once again

9-12 Katy- they also seemed to take a step back swapping with many groups week to week they were very inconsistent but they have the resources possible to rebound 

bubble band ( Katy paetow jersey village )

Please dissect my lists and feel free to make your own so we can make this the most active forum on txbands

I wouldnt be surprised if the former area champs (Langham creek) , end up in top 8 in finals

If cinco wants to go to state, they need to have clean drill. With clean drill, I think they could easily beat out JET and maybe Jordan

Jersey Village has a good program, but some of their shows haven’t been competitive enough to beat out groups like Cy Ranch or Katy. 

[tubapop]

What’s up band nerds, it’s been a few months. Langham is very unlikely to make state this year. It’s a slow process to climb to the top. While they get better, other rising bands must get worse, or at least worse than LCHS. Won’t happen overnight. 
 

Bridgeland is losing Mr Willie, their visual director. I can’t overstate his contribution to the program. In Grand Nats prelims last year Bridgeland placed ahead of Avon and Broken Arrow (iirc), in large part thanks to his contributions. A tough hole to fill. 
 

Will be a fun year.

I definitely agree that Langham will continue to build off of their success last year, but I just don’t see them in contention for a state spot, or at least not as likely as the likes of Cinco Ranch, JET, Jordan and Tompkins. I would love to be proven wrong though, their show last year was awesome!

Yeah it’s why I currently have them out I like my ranges wide because I don’t like ruling out anything for any band
