Another year of Brandies falling short, year after year they can not reach . Time to pack it up

Pack it up? Time to for that program to give up any hope of making state? What do you mean? This is a mean spirited comment.

This area is truly unexciting. You have 2 state champions, 1 bubble band for state finals, and  Lake Travis, which is a fine program, but not yet at the same level as the top 3. If there's gonna be a band falling out of the top 4, realistically it'd be LT, and the band taking its place would realistically be Brandeis. It's kinda the ONLY interesting point of conversation in this area.

Now, I actually believed both were weaker this year, so I thought another band might take their place. Looks like they had weaker early season performances (though I wouldn't call TMC early season).

I'm not in favor of redistricting btw. Vandy and Vista likely won't be as dominant in 20 years. Westlake has been up there forever so they might tbh. Marshall used to be a powerhouse for UIL (their 1990 show could still make state finals). Taft has made BOA SA finals (given it wasn't a super regional then). O'Connor was a bubble band for SA Finals in the early 2010s. You never know where the next powerhouse will be.

17 years of not making state is a bad record.

Not as bad as a history of posting hateful comments towards a group of high school band kids.

Not my fault they chose to go there.

Nobody really chooses to go anywhere unless they’re at a magnet program. No one is moving homes/schools to be in a “better” band program. It’s never that serious.

There are magnet schools in NISD that kids can choose to go to.

….that’s literally what I said.

Plus, Brandeis doesn’t have a magnet school anyways.

Yeah, Wakt is the only person on this website that I have seen actively hate post against a school because they’re direct competition to the school that he goes to. Instead, it’d be more mature to accept them as friendly competition.

Warnings have been given.  @Wakt you are on notice.

Professional hater for what. It’s just a bunch of kids having fun. We can all tell that you go to or are associated with lake travis and are just afraid of what might happen if Brandeis actually does beat y’all. It’s about time that an NISD school goes to state.

Wakt is a troll and does not go to LT. We love and have all the respect for Brandeis. I know who at LT posts on this forum, and if Wakt were at LT, it would be known by now.

I actually think they're associated with a program in NISD that rivals Brandeis. I have my theories about which one, but I respect their directors too much to put the whole program on blast over one kid or alumni.

They posted last year under a "Clarineter" name. This is obviously a sock puppet account. Same writing style. Same target for hate. That's gotta be breaking some rule.

Did Judson and Clemens perform?
If so, what were each of their 5 caption placements and overall placements?

[TrebleMaker2]

Is this area being streamed? Can’t seem to find it on NFHS.

This is the 6A thread, but yeah seems none of the competitions are showing on NFHS yet.

Oops, I saw that as soon as I posted but didn’t know how to delete! 😂Still want to see 5A, love all the bands of all classes!

Neither performed at area.

This area is going to be stupid hard from here on out... Leander, Rouse, and Cedar Park appear to have 6A numbers and it looks like Vandy's here to stay at least for one more cycle. This is more than likely going to be a LISD sweep and there's truly going to be an elite program miss state. Kinda makes me feel bad for Westlake, Lake Travis, and Brandeis knowing that it will be a very long shot at making state. Something needs to change. I know last year there was a proposition to allow areas to advance an additional band for every band that medaled at state but I don't think it went through. If there's any area that would benefit from this rule, it's this one.
