Just checked and you’re right, they do have Wylie listed for that week. Can’t really speak to whichever is true or not because I just copied and pasted the list of bands from the Melissa band website lol.

Hope we can see some high 4A placement this year. Always cool to see a small band up there with the big ones.

3A Mineola made finals 2 yrs ago and 4A Celina made finals last year. It's going to be hard for a 4A to make finals because this contest now going into it's 3rd year is going to heavily attended by 5A/6A bands. You might get 1 or 2 4A's but they got to be exceptional.

Ik last year they did the large school/small school where it was like top 12 large being like 5A/6A and then 4 small being 1-4A I think idk but I think Celina will be in probably but yeah it’s gonna be harder considering how popular it’s getting

Another thing about the Melissa contest is that it is a concrete jungle with it being early in the school year. There is no where to escape the sun and it can play a factor in early and middle of the day bands performing.

A long as directors are smart and keep there kids watered it really shouldn't

You also should take in account that some students are gonna be stupid and not bring water cause they're not thinking. But I'm sure most band boosters out there have water stations at the very least.

Most programs Ive seen (at least for north DFW) refuse to let kids onto the bus without their water jugs since its a part of their uniform checklist, any program that doesnt have this as a requirement to go to any game, show, competition, or heck especially rehearsals is really setting them up for failure

If this isnt mandatory for EVERY school, Im frankly shocked there hasnt been more lawsuits or reports of heatstroke
