RainTower57 Posted June 8 Posted June 8 This should be a fun year, I want to hear the thoughts on what bands will take it at Area this year. Quote
RainTower57 Posted June 24 Author Posted June 24 I guess I’ll start this off with my predictions for Area Finals this year 1 - Laredo Alexander 2 - Laredo United (State ^) 3 - Weslaco 4 - Edinburgh 5 - Brownsville Hanna 6 - PSJA 7 - Los Fresnos Some honorable mentions that could make it are Harlingen, Edinburgh North, or Veterans making finals. I see this as a wildcard year where a lot of bands have potential to make finals, but I do think only Alexander United are the top for me Quote

Weslaco is always on that cusp of just making it they have to make it one year!!!

I don’t see them making it to top 3 this year Quote

Did something come up that shook that perspective? Quote

Hanna had a good year but I feel like they are going to be on off every year. Need to wait till shows start coming out. Quote
Andres R III Posted Wednesday at 05:51 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:51 PM My current prediction as of now 1.Laredo Alexander 2.Hanna(possible someone else could steal this spot, let me know who you think) 3.Laredo United/ Weslaco/ Edinburg??? 4.Los Fresnos 5.??? 6.??? 7.??? Quote

Expand Despite being biased, I feel like Hanna will hold onto their 2nd spot. Maybe not 1st but 2nd for sure. They have great leadership/drum majors and overall are just consistent. Alexander’s show looks extremely entertaining and I really can’t wait to see what they put out. “beyond the break” just has such a cool ring. I also think Harlingen will get back into finals this year. Good predictions! Andres R III 1 Quote

I also think Harlingen will get back into finals this year. Good predictions! Expand Yeah I agree that Harlingen will most likely make finals since the last time they did in 2022. I also personally think maybe PSJA or La Joya might have a chance since especially last year these two bands and Harlingen were close to making finals! Looking at last year’s area scores, PSJA needs to work more on music and somewhat visually. Harlingen actually barely beat PSJA in music but their visuals kept them back. Lastly out of these three bands I mentioned, La Joya had the lowest score in music and beat Harlingen in visuals but lower scores in music kept them from reaching finals like PSJA, so they need a lot of work but I think the potential is there for La Joya and the other two bands I mentioned. Can’t wait to see what happens this year for Area G 6a Contest on October 25!!! Quote

Can’t wait to see what happens this year for Area G 6a Contest on October 25!!! Expand Another very competitive region! That 7th spot for finals is going to be a huge battle. There’s like 3 bands that could be on the cusp of making it and it’s going to be very tough. And again, Harlingen has been out of finals for 2 years in a row, I don’t doubt that they are really hungry for another finals/maybe state run. That’s mainly why I have them in finals. They do great for the amount of people in the band! Andres R III 1 Quote

That low brass and trombone feature at the beginning I think was really cool but Hanna did this the past 2 years where they made state and then didn’t. I’m excited to hear their low brass again but don’t see them making top 3. The Laredo schools will take the spots Quote
