TRBbaritone Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Finals predictions (bands that will advance to state have an asterisk by their name): 1. Laredo Alexander* 2. Brownsville Hanna* 3. Laredo United* 4. PSJA* 5. Edinburg Vela 6. Harlingen South 7. Donna North 8. Laredo United South 9. Laredo Nixon 10. PSJA North (could possibly go to San Benito or Harlingen) I wish Brownsville Lopez was still in 6A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChoirGuy Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I could be mistaken but I thought Harlingen was like the Duncanville of south texas- consistently making state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEDude Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 That's what I always thought too. They're always 1st or 2nd at area. I haven't heard from them this year. Maybe something is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had another band director (Ronnie Rios) who now oversees Area G band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBbaritone Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 The past few years since the director change Harlingen has been having a harder time. At Area in 2018, they were 10th in prelims and made a huge jump to 5th in finals, the last band to advance to state. At State, they were 40th out of 41, their lowest placement yet. The show is looking good this year so they have a good chance at finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
