the terminator Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 i posted it on the state thread, but the important to thing to note is the first block is very tough. And my predictions are the exact same with the alternate being sherman. of course that's my opinion and having not seen any of these bands live, i'm just going off of what others think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingogooberman Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 My Finals Predictions: 1. Newman Smith (yes i know, i'm biased) 2. Wakeland 3. Aledo 4. Birdville 5. Sherman 6. Legacy 7. The Colony 8. Centennial 9. Southwest 10. Timberview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I firmly believe they need to split this area. There are too many good bands here that deserve to make state and could easily compete at the state level, but won't get the chance because of how close the competition is.

Donezo Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Joshua, Crowley and McKinney are probably in contention for finals spots as well as those bingogooberman listed. It will be a really interesting contest with tons of potential upsets. I firmly believe they need to split this area. There are too many good bands here that deserve to make state and could easily compete at the state level, but won't get the chance because of how close the competition is. Agreed. They should really dissolve Region 25 and put Plano back in Region 24 and the rest of them back with Region 3 in Area C. This would only get rid of Sherman and the McKinney schools on the 4A front, but it would even things out a bit.

borchnork Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Joshua for sure yes, but I'm not entirely sure about McKinney.... They are a strong program, but have had issues lately, and actually didn't even make Area last state year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colony 8. Centennial 9. Southwest 10. Timberview i totally understand i probably would have put my band first so i have no objections with that, and besides i agree u guys are very strong, and its kinda hard to imagine a 4A state year w/o sherman but that looks like it legitmately might happen this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen them this year I think they are definitely in the running for one of the lower finals slots. '07 was an anomaly for them. They're a longshot to advance though.

borchnork Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Personally from past experience, I'd be watching McKinney North as well. they lost a lot of people to Boyd when it opened, but they still have a fairly decent program there.

ftwdrummer Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I firmly believe they need to split this area. There are too many good bands here that deserve to make state and could easily compete at the state level, but won't get the chance because of how close the competition is. Interesting. I have a whole theory on realigning the state to fix the Metroplex. (Take greater San Antonio out of Area G and add it to D, add the northernmost region of D to B, move Region 25 to C). It would help balance out the 5As, mostly (3 from Area C v. 7 from G?), but might help 4A as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing compared to 5A area D where at least 12 bands deserve to be in finals and would prove as formidable competition at the state level.

borchnork Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Seriously, think about the bands in Area B 4A that could easily advance to state and possibly place in the top 10 if they were moved to another area.... It'd totally change the atmosphere at the state level. And it's going to hafta happen soon. Frisco ISD is going to have 6 4A bands next year, all of which could contend at Area. The district plans to have 8 4A high schools by 2012.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitshadow5 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Personally from past experience, I'd be watching McKinney North as well. they lost a lot of people to Boyd when it opened, but they still have a fairly decent program there. honestly i think that some of the bands need to watchout for frisco high they have been a strong competitor this year even with the past issues with directors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borchnork Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Frisco High has gone through I think nearly 5 directors in the past 3 years (including assistants/percussion directors). Frisco ISD feels personally that 4A schools give the optimal balance of competitive edge, while maintaining a close nit feel in the schools.

the terminator Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Past issues? after dr. trent left in '06 they switched directors for the next 3 years with first hazzard now with creekview and ringel now with mckinney. yeah that program was really taking a hit for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean even in 5A the talent level in frisco can compete with anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
