Okay. Final predictions for this Area and all my state qualifiers. This is definitely gonna be a hot take, but remember my opinion doesn’t matter.

 

1. Wax

2. Rockwall/Forney

3. Forney/Rockwall

4. Sachse/Heath

5. Heath/Sachse

6. Lake Highlands 

7. Berkner

8. Duncanville (Does not feel right)

9. North Forney 

10. JJ/Royce City

Only hot take I see is Royse City battling JJP for last finals spot. Maybe I need to go look at them again.

This could easily be the finishing order. Still think Rockwall could be higher.  Duncanville and Heath could flip…they haven’t been side by side yet. Somewhere pride is going to kick in. They bring it for prelims and finals, they have the talent to surge!

i dont get duncanville over heath, but i do get lake highlands knocking heath out of the top5 prelims draw...heath still gets 5th after area finals in my book.

I mean, yeah, I feel like in no way, unless Sachse has a BAD BAD run do they lose to Heath, Heath imo gets rolled in every caption that isn't Mus-WW.

Dville’s run this week. Love that Jolene closer 🙌🏽

I saw Lake Highlands the other day and no way they make 6th with the show they put on. I would be surprised with them making finals with that run. Everyone's feet was out of time and they never got above a MF at best. The trombone solo was the only thing I found even remotely musically interesting. I don't see them doing well at all this year at area.

[planetearf]

do we have a rain date for this area due to the weather being quite similar to last years area 🥲?

[JFNDOWBFAN]

Stop! We don’t need this negativity in our lives. It’s going to be sunny and 72. 
 

Ifffffffd monsoon hits, Think it’s next Monday. 
 

They could have fit it in last year!

I wouldn't say rolled necessarily, but I do believe the main battle will be between Rockwall and Heath. With how clean Sachse has gotten, I can more confidently put them in 3rd. I'll admit that I don't know much about how Lake Highlands is doing (apart from what Salty said), but I'm fairly confident RH will place above LH.

I'll unscramble later

nah man don't unscramble I think this is right. Im sure sorting out all the Ro schools took some time cause they start with the same letters over all look accurate to me.

i have a feeling you may be from Berkner... that rivalry runs strong lol.  Anyway lets keep the comments constructive! I personally see Lake highlands as a Band who depending on the run could be anywhere from 5th to 14th at area honestly it just depends on consistency at this point in the season, I haven't seen many shows outside of RISD (Richardson not Rockwall) and Forney so far but RISD as whole is doing great and honestly any of their bands have a shot at state if they do their best Saturday and leave it all on the field. Just try to remember band is supposed to be fun yall! 

[LockedIn]

My personal prediction:

1: Wax (unless there is a repeat of last year and a random band comes out of nowhere) 

2/3: Forney/Rockwall it's either way with these 2 

4: Sasche most likely but honestly a hot take but i could see any risd school getting this depending how they do, also Heath is another dark horse 

------- State Cutoff 

5/6: Lake Highlands/heath

7-9: Duncanville/Richardson/Berkner honestly any of these but I'm guessing Duncanville in 8th 

10: Pearce or North Forney, haven't seen north forney yet so take w/ a grain of salt

idk after that, all I know is Richardson placed above Birdville and Plano last weekend, wouldn't be too surprised if they're a dark horse too, lake highlands seems to be keeping up the pace too

[Keyboard_Fanatic]

I think sachse getting third isn't a crazy hot take

I think 3rd to 5th could go any way between Sachse and the RISD schools. Sachse seems to be the strongest competitor for 3rd, and Heath is going to have to put in some good work over the next few days to get their scores higher, but I could see them beating Rockwall for that 4th spot.

I have been out of the space for a while since I graduated a while ago

Whatever you say, I was just mentioning what I saw as a spectator. I don't see any of the Richardson schools making State. They all have the potential but this year is so much more competitive then any other year I've seen. I think most of the schools in this area have extremely cool shows its just how well can they execute them. Clean=Win at the end of the day. Also I didn't know there was Berkner vs Lake Highlands beef. I would have assumed with the Berkner director moving to Pearce there would be more beef between the 2 of them. I think if any of the RISD schools had the shows from 2025 in the 2024 season we could see 1 or 2 of them making State but this year I don't see it.

3) Sachse
4) Rockwall
5, 6, 7) Lake Highlands, Heath, Duncanville (in any order depending on their runs)

10) Royse City

Man, Area brings people out of the forum’s woodworks! 😂 

[Tubalord11]

Okay, so after seeing Duncanville’s run from DMI, I still think they have a small chance at state. I see why they’ve been placing where they have. But they were very clean this weekend. I could be completely wrong, but after watching that performance, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re higher than what we’re thinking.

[bandsmakemedanse]

I think John Horn has a chance at finals this year. Huge sound and they look pretty clean.

Yeah, I'll give them a cool 5/6, maybe barely out alongside Heath.

Been telling people, never discount a program like Duncanville. A lot of pride in there!

I heard one of the Poteet directors say they’re about 50% freshmen too, and they got 2nd behind Poteet at Midlothian not too shabby.
