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.

their visual demand is very high and they are a pretty small band that march a lot of freshman, I don't blame them for not getting very loud

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. 

The amount of improvement John Horn has had in the past year is very admirable. I think one really solid run could put them in finals

They have always had some cool concepts!

Here’s a recording of Heath’s run from Saturday:

some timing issues but not bad overall.

Unfortunate for their percussion to do great and then tear there towards the end. If they do that they're definitely out of contention for the caption this Saturday and it could very well cost them a state spot. Brass sound pretty powerful, but have a little edge in some spots, I'm sure they'll get it right in the pocket come Saturday. Their woodwind choir balance is awesome and they sound really confident. I think their woodwinds could be their highest scoring caption (if percussion tears). Visually they look much better than they did at Prosper but still need to clean the last 60 to 90 seconds of their show. I think most of these things could be easy fixes, hardest thing to clean will be visuals, but if they really want that state spot, and work hard for it over the next few days, I definitely think they could make it.

IMO, the show is cleaner and they produce a much better sound than rockwall or Forney

Sachse is good but not 2nd place good

[Keyboard_Fanatic]

Lots of people have Rockwall as a lock for state potentially having them in 2nd or 3rd. I also have it between them and Heath for 4th, but what's your reasoning?

[MoBone]

Not only is it rain on Saturday as of now but Friday evening as well. That takes away the bands Friday night run. So yeah hopefully goes away or at least pushed into Sunday. Last year wasn’t it moved 2wice due to weather?

It's gotta be someone and the rockwall's seem to be fighting the most for that spot

[Keyboard_Fanatic]

dont have any other good reason

I’ve seen Heaths show twice and Rockwalls once. Maybe not enough times to justify a placement on my end so that’s why I don’t. I do feel like Duncanville is gonna catapult themselves into a top 5 finish, maybe a top 4? 🤷🏿‍♂️ Weather permitting I will be viewing their run live on Friday night so we will see what happens.

What's your top 10 predictions? I watched dvilles show last week and I'm not sure if they can finish top 5. They are a historically great program though so I wouldn't be too surprised if they do better than I'm anticipating.

i agree with this. Dville just doesn't seem like they can do higher than 6th this year

Was North Forney 5a last year? I don't remember them being at this contest last year. Maybe they didn't get 1's? I could also just be misremembering entirely.

They placed 15th last year

[Keyboard_Fanatic]

Does anyone have a picture of last years area placements?
