2019 5A State

[lost]

Let’s look out for Wakeland. They’re 5A right?

[bingogooberman]

5A State participants scores at BOA San Antonio:

1. Cedar Park- 86.70 (22^nd)- Panel 2

2. Wakeland- 86.43 (24^th)- Panel 1

3. Rouse- 84.93 (31^st)- Panel 1

4. Burleson Centennial- 84.80 (33^rd)- Panel 2

5. Wylie East- 84.18 (34^th)- Panel 2

6. Friendswood- 83.80 (36^th)- Panel 2

7. Weiss- 81.60 (41^st)- Panel 2

8. Aledo- 81.30 (42^nd)- Panel 2

9. Tom Glenn- 79.35 (47^th)- Panel 1

10. Forney- 76.30 (54th)- Panel 1

11. Pioneer- 76.03 (57^th)- Panel 1

 

Some interesting things to note here- most notably Wakeland less than a quarter of a point behind Cedar Park and a point and half ahead of Rouse. I'm feeling pretty good about their medal chances. Centennial, Wylie East and Friendswood were all closer to Rouse than expected, and Aledo was a bit lower than I thought they'd be.

Forney placed between Pioneer and Glenn

BOA does score different than UIL so you just never know. I'm only going to make it to the finals performance (if made) so really really nervous but hopeful! I definitely think these 5A BOA San Antonio bands are some of the best but there are others not at BOA that are contenders for finals as well. My heart may not survive Monday night finals announcements.

Dripping Springs and Sharyland attended US Bands instead of BOA. Sharyland beat out Dripping Springs in prelims (DP did not attend finals). While the judging and scoring is different than UIL and BOA, it's still something to look into. I have a feeling that whatever happens Monday will be very different from what we expected. I can't wait

And throwing Roma into that mix, they had a 81.775 (Panel 1) which would be 7th right after Friendswood. Their absence in the SMBC next week will most definitely open up a finals spot for someone.

 

And following up on t=some of the other groups that were not there, Sharyland HS with 2nd place at US Bands followed by Dripping Springs. Could have possibly had 3 valley bands in the SMBC Finals.

wakeland, lone star and lebanon trail are all here to fight for those top spots good luck to everyone tomorrow!

[MikeKyu]

Cedar Park is ready to go bright and early. Good luck to all of the bands competing tomorrow.

[Lisajayes]

It's here! Today is going to be a great day regardless of results. Top 34 bands in Texas 5A! Good luck to all these amazing kids and directors!

Really? That doesn't sound right considering they sent Poteet in 1990. What year was that?

That was 86-87 I believe.  We actually used Poteet's parking lot as a practice field BEFORE the school was complete!  Verified my claim with one of our asst. directors at the time.  Everyone always thinks that their band is the best of all time...would have been nice to at least put it a bit to the test.  Past that GO NORTH FORNEY PRIDE!!

34 bands.... 1 goal! Let's roll!!!

Keep in mind that Lebanon Trail does not participate in boa and they beat Wakeland by a hair at Area D finals. I think LT is going to surprise a lot of central Texas peeps.

Does anybody know if there is a difference between GA5 and GA6 on the ticketmaster website?  Looking for 2 tickets to 5A Finals tomorrow.

Man, that's messed up. Wish y'all could've gone, it would've been the first time a Mesquite band went to State right? It's cool to find out about band history, I never heard that North used Poteet's parking lot to practice on lol But congrats on North Forney making State!

This whole first set is laying it down. Wow, Burleson Central has a gorgeous show.

[Guest]

Burleson Centennial: That was one of the best visual performances ive ever seen from a HS band. Musically, they are almost there, but visually, they were stellar. Really beautifully written show that id love to see tommorow afternoon!

That's some serious GE!

That is one heck of a prop Wakeland has.  RESPECT to the Wakeland parents from a props dad!

I wish I’d gotten to see Wakeland! We missed them in 2017 too, and I’m still upset about it

Yeah, until Poteet!  We'll never know.  Yeah, NF did pretty good!  Watching the live feed at work.

Lots of reminiscing of the UTA band back in the 90's...we did the Rocketeer as well.  Did they do The Boy Who Could Fly as well?
