Band_dad_of_2 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Has there been a decline in the former 5A powerhouses like Duncanville, LD Bell, and Coppell? Or have the smaller bands that moved up in the class restructuring just continued to improve past them? Is it reasonable to think that the 2017 5A medalists (Cedar Park, Dripping Springs, and Waxahachie) will have similar success in 6A this year? Yes.....to all of this. And maybe it's not a "decline" as much as it is all of the other bands are rising to the level of their competition. Bands in Coppell and Bell vicinity like Prosper, Haltom, Richland, Waxahachie, etc. are "stepping things up". Bell is Bell...Coppell is Coppell...they're always great. But they have been taken over by FloMo, Hebron, CTJ...those programs stepped it up to other-worldly levels and over-took Bell and even Marcus, to an extent.

BandFriendzz Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I’m here at the trinity & haltom football game because I love me some football and both teams are really good and it’s a good game and I just watched halftime and I got some comments Trinity has improved so so much this year like not in a way to make finals against these bands but they really do sound great and I love the improvements. From watching haltom last week to now . So much has changed . New start for guard . They didn’t have props cause rain but it didn’t take away from it . The sound is so strong and visually they look great. Also timing wise which is what I saw as the problem last week was 75 percent better . And that’s just a hard show in general like paying attention closely without props it’s a harddd show. I say this genuinely but I wouldn’t count them out trust me . The improvements in 1 weeks is so high and I can’t imagine what it’s gonna be like in 2 full week for area and then 3 full weeks for boa and hopefully state. I’m really sad the contest for tomorrow is canceled cause it would’ve been a great opportunity to watch all those area b bands . Any who back to my game.

LostChoirGuy Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I'm excited for Trinity to make the trip to Indianapolis this year. I agree that they seem really improved. 14th at BOA DFW over some really great groups is nothing to scoff at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostChoirGuy Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Me too. The Indy Super Regional is pretty deep this year comparatively, but I think that Richland and Trinity will both be in a position to nab spots with good runs.

eeman0201 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I think they have a good shot at finals tbh IMO the last couple of spots in finals aren’t as solidified as a lot of people are making them out to be. I believe bands like trinity, Martin, and any of the Mansfield schools have an equal shot for finals over bands like central and maybe even Richland. Both Mansfield and Martin made finals last state year, scoring higher than Central in both prelims and finals, and I know for a fact that both bands have only improved in those two years.

principalagent Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Just saw their performance in Waco today and liked it! I think it can get into finals tonight if it happens and they have a strong shot at Area B finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassy Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 We just watched all the prelim bands at Waco this morning. Wow, Area B is going to be a blowout! I am a Hachie fan, so I am biased but their music is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChoirGuy Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Waxahachie has a very difficult music program and it is really coming together more and more every performance. The first time I saw a video of them, all I could think was- "that was ambitious", but it is turning into one of my favorite shows of the year.

PSHSMom Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I am starting to think all this rain is Plano Senior's fault and their show, entitled Kokopelli Dances. Among other things, the Kokopelli mythical person is: Among ancient rain and water symbols, he plays his flute to plead for moisture sufficient for his tribe’s corn, beans and squash to grow.... Maybe their show is stuck in the "rain mode", LOL. LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they say to themselves, “well, it might rain inside the Alamodome today so let’s bring our umbrellas!”??
