batteryischarged Posted October 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Highland Park being gone is a big one too! I overlooked that because they had been moved out of the region prior to the realignment. Schedule should be out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batteryischarged Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I don’t know much about the East Texas schools. Have any of them appeared at BOA competitions besides the North Texas ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Predictions? I don't think any of them have, Mount Pleasant and Pine Tree did go to USBands at AT&T Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I would say that every band here is looking considerably better than they were last season. Mount Pleasant's show is visually shocking (they have the Bluecoats '17 prop as well as just a ton of visuals) as well as having a cool musical selection. Marshall in my biased opinion has a very good show and is sounding way better this year. Pine Tree's brass is also honestly very powerful, though I'm not the biggest fan of their show. I haven't really seen any of the others in person to judge, Red Oak from what I saw is looking good though. North Mesquite may see some success in 5A, even though they were in the middle of Area C in 6A. I think this is going to be very interesting. P.S. 9 bands are attending; they are taking 7 bands to finals. We will see who makes finals. Also finals awards has full band retreat :)) Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasFan Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 That must've been a pretty quick turn around for Forney. Anyone know how results panned out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Texas High and Pine Tree both beating Mount Pleasant really surprised me. I didn't think Texas High had a good run, there were several tears during the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Forney completely wiped the competition in this comp though. I am surprised North Mesquite did not place higher. They were very clean marching wise and sounded very balanced with good sounds. Their general effect and visual may have been what held them back. Forney's general effect was insane, honestly felt like I was watching a DCI corps in some parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should really balance out Area B and Area C for 5A. area B is still super difficult while area C had 12 bands at area last year and only 9 this year.

With the band coming out onto the field slowly in phases, maybe the judges thought it was too conservative of an approach. I was thinking while they were performing that they might get dinged for not having the whole band out on the field sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been wondering how things are going to look in a couple of years with the next realignment. Forney will definitely be 6A by then. It makes me wonder how the 5A and 6A Area C landscapes might change. When Forney is no longer 5A it will leave this current area contest even smaller as it stands. I am also curious if enrollment is increasing at Poteet and North Mesquite that would send them into 6A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Poteet and North Mesquite have actually had their enrollments decrease. Poteet from 1850 to 1650 and NM from 2850 to 2150. Both due to a new technical high school opening in MISD, and NM also had their attendance zone shrunk. Lastly, both have little land left in their zones to build housing so it's unlikely they'll move up to 6A ever again with the cutoff increasing every year. batteryischarged 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. Isn’t Highland Park in Area B now? I just can’t figure out how these alignments are assigned. Is there a line of demarcation in the Metroplex that is used?

It’ll be interesting to see, once Forney is gone to 6A, if Poteet will return to their glory days of dominating this area contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that areas B, C, & F will be merged into two more balanced areas, where one has the current area F bands plus the Denton County schools from area B, while the other has the remaining area B bands plus the area C bands.

I highly would doubt that, after Newman left for Forney, Poteet seemingly has started to decrease in how good they are. However, I will admit this is their best show since then. It’s always a possibility, but it truly depends on their quality of shows after Forney getting moved up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Forney would definitely be area c because North Forney is in C. But who knows maybe they change the area when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
