This contest will probably be VERY tiny next year, with 3 of the top 4 not showing next year (Pearce, LH, Little Elm), this could either be an oppurtunity for some program to shoot up but it could also lead to like 5 people only showing up, especially with the rise of the Melissa and Wylie comps

Not to mention the Mesquite comp falls on this day which takes a good chunk of bands away from attending this comp.

Does anyone know if this contest will have a Finals this year? This contest has been getting very small and it was 9 prelims and 8 finals last year and not even all of those guys are showing up this year

As it’s now been added to our public calendar, Wylie East will be competing🔥

Wow this could be a great addition to the contest! Hopefully this addition will help bring in more people to the contest, I'm a bit worried that it will be a bit small with the rise of Melissa, but wylie east and also Emerson are both great additions to this contest

Put Emerson in second and you’ve got my list 

Expand  

Heres what I got for this contest
1. Wylie East
2. Emerson
3. Panther Creek
4. Richardson
5. Plano West
6. Guyer
7. Newman Smith

As much as I love Guyer's program I think as long as Plano West has a solid show they could be a solid sneak through for this show. Definetly swappable between the two though. Everything else is set in stone pretty much though. Wylie East will probably win most captions but give Emerson guard and PC Visual possibly (i think they'll clean up early like they did at this contest as the reigning champions)

It's a bit of a shame that we wont have our other top 3 people at this contest this year from 2024, it could've been really competitive to watch them all battle it out, but seeing Weast and Emerson and PC will be fun to watch. Hope to hear some more from this contest in hopes that more people attend it. 

Do you guys think it will have a finals round or prelims only? Keep in mind last year was 9 prelims and 8 sent to finals (Everyone except Lake Highlands, who had their homecoming that night I think). But with 7 people, it makes me wonder if there's even enough to justify finals. Maybe top 5. I know they have all the Plano JVs coming, but it wouldn't make much sense to merge them since they are Non-varsity programs.

With essentially new (and significantly better) everything, the only caption I see East potentially losing is guard, especially as Emerson’s guard really is quite excellent

Walnut Grove High School is attending this competition per their band calendar.

So this would mean they're doing this over Melissa this year right? Would they do both or are they dropping Melissa? Either way a good addition to this contest :)

Posted

If I had to guess I would say they are only going to this contest and dropping Melissa, it would be a lot to do in one day and the Melissa page hasn’t been updated since March 3rd.

After seeing what happened to Anna in area last year I don't think Panther Creek will fare too well here, but they could still get a solid third as it's much less competitive than area B. Honestly I think its just between Wylie East and Emerson here.

Posted

Predictions with the new addition of Anna since we’re almost a month out:

1. Emerson (I honestly think their guard and visual will just completely outshine the rest of the comp and barely put them ahead of Wylie)

2. Wylie East (Could snag first but read above)

3. Panther Creek (crazy good development especially for being in 4a)

4.  Richardson 

5. Anna (they didn’t shape up well at all when moving up to 5a, nevertheless still very talented)

6. Plano West

7. Guyer

8. Newman Smith

I assume because of how small it is there won’t be a prelims/finals? Does anybody know more

They have always had prelims and finals before, even with just 8 bands.  I don't think that will change.  I imagine PESH will perform in exhibition too.
