gmtb617 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I saw them at Area E finals and they are CRAZY good. Its not weird at all. Like last year, Pearland is peaking at the right time. Pearland has pink props, so they get my support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaiah Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Don’t count us out just because of a wonky UIL judging yesterday. I actually have Leander making finals! Last band on my list LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarchingBandNerd Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 A lot of y’all are predicting Waxahachie to do really well. I’ve never seen any of their shows and we’ve never had to compete with them though, so I can’t make much of a judgement. Just out of curiousity, what makes them so good?

They were in 5A last year and placed 3rd in the state. They moved up to 6A and are looking to keep that momentum going. If you ask me, I feel like if they make state finals, they will round out in the last couple of spots similar to Bell and Coppell from area B in 2016. Waxahachie’s main focus this year is clearly UIL and they are clearly succeeding. They placed near the bottom of finals at BOA DFW so making finals at BOA San Antonio will be a fight but they are doing amazingly on the UIL side of things this year. cburkhalter and Bandisdope 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Coppell, Waxahachie, Cedar Ridge, and Hendrickson will be competing for that last State Finals spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mash Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 When is the best time to go historically? I know, officially it makes no difference, but is it best to go later, I understand morning sucks because of the early rise and traffic.

By default now I'll be there probably all day (unless I need to help the band or my wife with something after we perform). Most people will miss our show Monday morning - you really shouldn't if you can at all make it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried. If you are in the stands, I'd love to come say hello! And that goes for everyone too!!! TWHSParent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherRoden Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I havent seen Pearland since Conroe but I could see them sneaking into finals. Seeing as 4/5 judges had Clements solidly above Pearland, would you consider us in contention as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danpod Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Haltom famously went on 1st in Prelims in 2004 and made State Finals. It is not impossible for an early slot to do it!!! Now, State Finals..... A program with a later performance time in State Finals and knocks it over the fences usually moves up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMELLO Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 1. Flower Mound 2. Vista Ridge 3. Keller 4. Hebron 5. Reagan 6. Vandegrift 7. Marcus 8. Bowie 9. Waxahachie 10. Johnson 11. Woodlands 12. Coppell 13. Westlake 14. Leander 15. Prosper 16. Hendrickson 17. Duncanville 18. Oak Ridge 19. Pearland 20. North Shore Have fun with this! I want some variety in the top 3 (not just a bunch of Lewisville schools) so I put VR and Keller up there Bandisdope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Seeing as 4/5 judges had Clements solidly above Pearland, would you consider us in contention as well?No offense, but with so many great programs in Texas, Id say they are a solid 15th-25th place band for state. Great sound though. I believe Clements has won area E a few times and always places in the twenties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feet timing and form clarity while on the move. Sound is very solid every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
