borchnork Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I think we may be able to send 5 bands from Area B now. we played Lake Dallas this past week, and they usually get 2's at UIL, but this year they are MUCH better. I'm expecting them to get a 1 and I also feel that Little Elm may have stepped up their game this year as well. So that hopefully adds two more bands to the list on Area B.

the terminator Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 of course, the want to see you get a 1 so we can beat you game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverfan Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hey, by the way, we (Aledo) marched all five mvts. of our show last friday, we're excited to see some great bands at TOC. "Universal Dimensions" arr. Mark Higginbotham 1. Creation 2. Existence 3. Metallic 4. Ethereal 5. Warp Speed http://www.markhigginbotham.com/showlistcelestialbodies.html What do ya' think? Reply..

borchnork Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 this week is mvmt. 4 for us. Hopefully we can get it all up to tempo by Saturday. It's going to be SO hard to march 172-180 in the closer and learn how to keep it consistent for such a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerialSleeper90 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I seriously don't think we'll get it by sat. If we do, we'll probably we marching the first 3 movements pretty cold on saturday. Either way is fine for me though. Learning the 4th sooner means more time for cleaning the show as a whole before region and area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddmwingz Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 i think were gonna end up marching up until the tempo change(4th mvmt), or maybe a little farther to a set that is more condusive to playing. either way, i hope we dont spend all week learning the 4th mvmt, cuz we will probably look pretty bad on saturday if we do.

borchnork Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 yah. Agreed. I think the drill we have learned right now takes us up to the measure before the tempo change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooBandAlum119 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I see everybody on here mentioning the North Texas schools going to and winning state. Lets not forget about the CenTex schools!! Copperas Cove, Brenham, McCallum, Connally, LBJ, and Vista Ridge all have chances of going to state!! Connally just might wint he thing. Copperas Cove has been a 5A school for the longest and now they are 4A.....so I think they have a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayOboe Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Oh yeah, I totally agree that Connally is a strong contender for the title. They were probably the favorite going in last time. I still think their 2005 show should have medaled. Don't forget about Hendrickson and New Braunfels from the Central Texas set. Both made finals last time and can probably do it again. As far as show progress goes, I think Poteet is performing their whole show for the first time at the Highland Park game this Friday and then again on Saturday at Mesquite Marching Festival. Area is less than a month away! Seems like things are aligning for everyone now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 yah... we're attempting mvmt. 4 on thursday and our contest on saturday. it looks interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtxtrmpt Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Dickinson has had the full show on the field for the past 3 games. First contest this saturday. we are really pushing to get clean now. added all the visuals for the most part. im excited for the rest of the season.

borchnork Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Aledo is looking very good. I was wowed by their show. I'm assuming The Colony is also doing well considering the placed higher than Aledo at the CTOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayOboe Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 My sources tell me that Sherman was very, very impressive at the Mesquite Marching Festival. I'm hoping for a video from either MMF or their performance next week at Plano East. Their drill is supposedly much more demanding than usual. I'm interested to see it.

borchnork Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised. Looks like we're going to hafta step up our game. O well, it just makes for a more interesting Area B competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHSBaSsTrOmBoNe'09 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I think Area D will be a good show... and i believe that there is potential in Dripping Springs They're already pretty clean from where i have seen them (Back sideline, on the field at about the 10 or so yardline.) I wouldn't be shocked if they came into the picture. But i'm also seeing the "Brother" Rivalry between Hendrickson and Connally coming back. All I know... is that its going to be one heck of a night! (Good luck to the other areas! I wish you the best!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I think if we see Sherman beat Poteet Again this weekend at Plano, we can easily expect a new 4A state champ. And we'll be marching against Sherman at area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewing09 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 i saw Hays they looked pretty good and New Braunfels looked badda$$ so did steele, no one really considers them i guess cuz they just opened up a couple of years ago but they got alot of potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonepit06-07 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 okay so heres what i think of Area D at this point I know of three bands this year New Braunfels Connally (the school i go to) and Hendrickson all are still my favs to get to state from area D....... BUT as a member of the connally band all i can say is WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. all i can say is you never know tell me what yall think and keep this updated after the crazy ness this sat I believe hendrickson is at BOA Arlington(hendrickson sry if i screwed that up) Connally is at Westlake AND USSBA Hays and also keep in mind that next week is also UIL Region following state keep this updated.

I agree about area D. STill my favorites from that area, and I think Connally and Hendrickson pretty much have it, we just need to see who is going to end up in the third spot.

longhornsax Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Everyone always counts out dripping springs for Area D and I don't really get why. They had a off year at area last time around, but I think they probably should have made it and will be a big threat this year. Westlake will be a good preview...

drumajorfernando Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 What are the Area A predictions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm not quite sure who's in Area A... I believe Fossil Ridge is. And if they are, they're on my list to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonepit06-07 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I actually have seen dripping springs show but im not gonna say wat i thought because, when i saw them it was from backfield and it prolly wont be acuurate our band knows how hungry they are and im not counting them out i hope that we see them at Finals at Westlake sat so that i can get a accurate idea of how good they are... But your predictions are always welcome what do you think of Area D 1 2 3 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the terminator Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I believe Sherman is going to make a serious run at Poteet this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
