Thanks…if I’m gonna be dead honest I forgot I made this so thanks for the update.

Added some more bands to the list. Also does anyone know if Hebron will return to this comp? They usually do come, but I don’t have any information on them yet.

It’s “I don’t have any information on them, yet!”

To answer question…..  I do not know! They have the last few years!

I spent too much time in Southern Texas so that’s my bad 😅😂

Hi, I’m the band director at W.W. Samuell High School in Dallas. I was wondering if there’s any way my band could be a part of your upcoming marching festival. We’re a traditional show style band, but we’re working hard to prepare for UIL and would really appreciate the opportunity to perform and get some feedback. Let me know if that’s possible, thank you!

Hebron has been here in recent years. Always fun to see their show from the origins to how it winds up. Wonder if they are coming.

I expect this week or next you should start seeing some screenshots of the lineups for the first competition at the end of the month and maybe the first one in October.

Haven’t really seen any new additions. The schedule should be coming out soon though.

It may already been out just not given out to the public yet. I have seen some competitions that get tweaked a week or two before if a band drops and then a band gets added because a spot gets opened up for some various reasons.

So, Hebron is at Melissa this day which is a prelims and final, so they are not coming to Mesquite. Hate that for mesquite because they travel well and that’s ticket money for sure. 
 

However, I “think” Hebron usually came because it was a one and done performance in the Area C  stadium. Now that they are in a new Area, probably not as important of an experience!

so, Give me the OWB all the way!

[SharksAreCool]

Tentative schedule is now officially posted!!!

I’m pretty sure the Mesquite schools are exhibition only. Here’s my list without the Mesquite schools:

 

1. Rockwall

2. LakeView Centennial 

3. HP/ Kaufman

4. Kaufman/HP

5. Tyler Legacy
