Just gonna paste my comment from another post here as it pertains to this area:

I did some digging on the 5A Varsity DISD bands:

I'm optimistic about Adamson. They've added a new director and got 1s on stage and sightreading for the first time in a long time. I hope to see this translate to the field.

Bryan Adams will be pulling up to the stadium for sure. They're probably one of the best programs in DISD and are no strangers to Superior ratings. Honestly, these guys along with McKinney North are among my favorites to watch. They're so jazzy and snazzy!

Hillcrest and Thomas Jefferson have been struggling ever since the October 2019 tornado and COVID. I hope to see these two return to their former glory eventually, but I don't see it happening this year.

Wilson and Sunset could pull it off. They get 1s on stage and sightreading and were close to advancing to Area last year.

Molina got an entirely new director halfway through last year and he turned them from a program constantly earning 4s and 5s into a program that got 1s on stage and sightreading in his first few months of being there. I'm happy for these kids and excited to see how they'll perform on a football field with this new and competent director.

Hope these DISD guys do well and allow for more state spots to open up.

Here's a bio write-up on Beth Bronk I found from a Facebook post from right before she guest-conducted the Heart of Texas Concert Band early this year:

"Beth Bronk is in her third [I presume now fourth] year as the Director of Fine Arts at Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, where she supports band, choir, orchestra, K-12 visual art, elementary music, theatre, dance, and cheer.

Prior to coming to SCUCISD, Professor Bronk spent 16 years as Director of Bands at Texas Lutheran University, where she taught conducting, instrumental music education courses, and directed the TLU Bands. AT TLU, Bronk received the Distinguished Faculty Award for Service and Leadership, the Baenziger Professorship in Music, the Harold D. Bier Award for Teaching Excellence, and was nominated by her university for the Minnie Stevens Piper Award for Teaching Excellence. She served four years as the Vice-President for Professional Relations on the National Council of Tau Beta Sigma, where she coordinated the National Intercollegiate Band. Bronk has presented nationally and internationally on wind band pedagogy, ensemble development, and intonation instruction.

Her public-school service includes 18 years of high school band directing and administration, fifteen of those in New Braunfels ISD.

Ms. Bronk earned her Bachelor of Music, Performance Certificate, and teaching certification at the University of Texas at Austin, a Master of Music in Trumpet Performance from the University of North Texas, and completed her doctoral coursework in Music Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. Bronk is an active clinician, conductor, performer, and presenter."

I hope this won’t be the case but Bryan Adams, Desoto, and Wilson have all received 2s.  Molina and South Oak Cliff earned 3s.

Now, three of the following four MUST receive 1s for 4 bands to advance: Naaman Forest (1s in 2024), Crandall (2 in 2024), Greenville (2s in 2024), and South Garland (2s in 2024).  There are other DISD bands that could get 1s but it’s not realistic, e.g. Samuel and Jefferson. 

 

[bandsmakemedanse]

UPDATE: SUNSET GOT A 1!!!! Congrats to the students there!!!  Per my previous post, now only 2 of the four bands I listed need 1s for us to get 4 state spots.

[sparksyyy]

Come onnnnn, 4 state spots would be huge.

[bigbluebandisthebest1122s]

As area is coming closer any new predictions 1-10?

[crown_glazer]

What’s the chance that there will be 3 state spots this year?

Crandall got all 1s so we just need one of Greenville, SG, or NF to get 1s

[RyanRaider22]

Yay for Sunset! I'm very sad the snazzy jazzy band got a 2-2-3 this year.

I wonder why Samuell doesn't have results yet. Also glad to hear Crandall got all 1s! Was worried they would get 2s again.

So we just need greenville and South Garland?

So if SG got 1s (and if I counted correctly) that means we’re exactly at 20 bands with a 1 and get 4 state spots!!!!

Prediction: 

1. Poteet

2. NM

3. LC/ WM

4. LC / WM
