WILKINSON Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hey folks! Hope everything is good with everyone. So, we're basically at the peak of the marching band season and I thought that we could maybe discuss a little about how you all think Area/State will look like this season. Of course, you can say that it's still a lil too early to make those type of predictions but there's been contests to give us enough insight and resource as to where we think bands are at this point. What programs do you all think are Area Finals/State qualifying contenders? Who has impressed you so far? Will there be any new faces, any up-and-comings or will the typical reigning programs do it again? I'm eager as to what you all have to say. Please keep it classy, thank you.

azn Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Most of the Marching Shows I have seen are spectacular! Mindblown indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakarian Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'm interested to see if Argyle will maintain their position and get the 4-peat. It was a very, very close 1st place for them two years ago, and the performances are really great all around this year. Texas bands keep getting better and better!!

WILKINSON Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I have yet to see Argyle's band performance this year. Anyone care to give some insight on it? I'm sure it's excellent though, or so their contest results prove. Though, bands that I have seen and I genuinely think that will cause some great commotion this year are Wills Point, Princeton, Grulla, Anna, Melissa and North Lamar. Their shows are very well executed and the marching + music is excellently clean. I have not seen Canton, Kennedale Burnet, Fredericksburg so far but I'm sure they're going to be in the hunt yet again. Atlanta's show is great as well. Rio Hondo/Hidalgo/Port Isabel look good.

Bandmanio Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Should be some amazing bands at all the contests! It seems like quite a few bands have really stepped it up this year and making it very competitive. Good Luck to all bands at AREA!! jose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILKINSON Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 There will be 6 bands advancing from Area E to the State Marching Contest. This should be interesting. Some very great programs in this Area, some coming back stronger than ever and others looking for redemption. Finals should be interesting. Grulla, Fredericksburg, Pearsall and Port Isabel look to be promising, very competitive and seem like top tier programs this year in my opinion. At least to what I've witnessed. Boerne, Kingsville, Rio Hondo, Hidalgo, Crystal City, Stafford, La Vernia & Carrizo Springs are also some good programs that I've seen during contests.

bxOxAxUIL Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I went to the Area D contest last night, Burnet, Kennedale, Springtown, and Robinson advanced, Burnet and Kennedale were very impressive!
