Mesquite's First ever Drumline comp!!!

 

[BbMarching]

Wylie East with the final (non-exhibition) slot🔥🔥🔥

[TrenBS]

This contest actually has a pretty solid gradient of skill top to bottom (Hebrons percussion in a vacuum is relative to Byron and Wakeland), I will withhold any predictions since Im not a percussion guy, but this should be a good competition for every ensemble size

4. Kaufman/Terrell
5. Terrell/Kaufman
6. Naaman Forest
7. Paris ( No Leaks)
8. Stephenville

Best Snares - HP/TC
Best Tenors - HP
Best Basses - TC/Mesquite
Best Front - HP/TC


A lot of groups sound very clean so I don't know if this would happen, Its a battle with HP and TC Both very clean group and it just comes down to personal preference. This is Mesquite First Comp and I would of but then lower like 3-5 but we just had a game against them last week and I think their percussion is very solid. Kaufman and Terrell are both other very great groups that will battle head to head for that 4-5 place. Naaman Forest is pretty good too but remember this is just for personal preference and I feel like I deserve more love there is a growing group.

[AleeDiaz]

My Prediction for small ( That I seen leaks )

1. McKinney Boyd/Sachse  

2. Sachse/Boyd

3. Lebanon Trail ( No Leaks )

4. Trinity/Rockwall

5. Rockwall/ Trinity

6. Keller Central 

7. Irving

8. Heritage ( No Leaks )

9. Paschal

10. Lake Highlands

11. Sherman

12. Nimitz ( No Leaks)

I think this one is pretty self explanatory, I feel like some groups deserve to be higher

This makes sense, Boyd having no tenors dropped the content scores pretty obviously, although I dont believe even with Tenors theyd beat Keller Central. Im surprised to see Sachse so low but again, Im not a percussion guy so Im not going to say any of this is wrong. Congratulations to everyone that participated in this drumline contest!

Was unable to catch this competition, didn't know Boyd wasn't marching tenors this year!

Its a low senior count this year so they wanted to get their underclassmen more experienced with snare and bass (tenor from last year is center snare). They are getting a major influx of members next year in percussion so I think theyll be doing 2 tenors 4-5 snares and 5 basses next year unless they decide to have a massive front ensemble

[Keyboard_Fanatic]

was anyone else surprised that Hebron didn't do more of a sweep?
