Tubalord11 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 1 hour ago, bancl said: Keller had a parent meeting Friday night, and it sounds like their motivation for going to Prosper instead of Bedford has to do with the fall break that KISD is doing next year and wanting to give their students and parents a few days off. It will be interesting to see if having 4-5 days of no rehearsal hurts them or having 4-5 days of rest and recharge gives them an edge. I think personally, considering the strength and depth of this program, it will be beneficial. When students get time off of an activity, especially for a scheduled like Kellers this season, that takes so much of their time, they will come back rested and ready to come to this comp and possibly walk away with their first regional championship, which honestly, I’m hoping the get, because they are so due.

Getting into finals, especially the bottom 6 groups, is going to be a BLOODBATH!!! I’m beyond excited to be able able go to this comp as unfortunately my plans of going to dfw each year won’t be happening due to other band conflicts, but I’m honestly probably more excited for this then any other regional. So many bands that deserve to be in finals that won’t be, but it’s going to be an amazing day of Texas( and Oklahoma 🥳) marching band. side note, does anyone know if Tom Glenn is now coming here over TMC, or have they just not been removed from the list?

I think that BOA DFW and BOA Austin might disagree with you on this one. In terms of parity among the participants there are a LOT of bands that could make finals, but this is likely a two-horse race for the title between Wakeland and Keller. Ironically, both have new directors. I'll be interested to see which of them adapts to their new staff the fastest. Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell does something unexpected. And I do agree that the top tier bands at dfw/Austin are better than the top 6 or groups here, but, imo at least, getting into finals is going to be harder here than the other 2. Both DFW and Austin, it’s pretty easy, even now, to say who’s going to make finals, with really the first 5 or so groups out of both having somewhat of a realistic chance of finals, while they are going to be at least 10 bands here they are finals worthy that won’t make it simply bc of many bands are going.

BandNerd07 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Yep, so many bands attending here. Just praying that my band has a free week this week so I may possibly be able to watch from the stands. (Actually surprised my band still hasn't posted their fall calendar yet cuz they normally do it during May camp.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 2nd time that this event has been held, so no, but it’s only been since 2019 since they’ve last done boa, so not to much time off from BOA, and their show this year, Tag Team, looks very good, and I’m really excited to see them here Rubisco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If TagTeam is as fun and cohesively designed as Downtown was (if not better), I think they have a good shot at making a statement here.

I think they might be the band I’m most excited to see here. The show concept seems so cool and intriguing, and like you said, if it’s designed how last years show was, they could do some serious damage here!

Incredible! It seems that there’s a good deal of discussion for champion to be between Keller and Wakeland- but ultimately I think Prosper, Hendrickson, Waxahachie, Bell, Keller Central, Timber Creek, and Carroll all have legitimate claims to the top spot as well. I have a strong feeling the top 10 or so bands will score very close to one another. JWork, Vidal28, Tubalord11 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 I don’t know if it’s 100% confirmed, by my alma mater, Lovejoy HS, had this event listed on their calendar! I hope it’s true because I was planning on coming here anyways, and they could take that AA championship and perform in exhibition for finals!

You can start off with the simple fact that there are 3 Grand Nats finalists from last year(!!) attending the contest to start with! Not even trying to be facetious because I know that the Austin contest has 10 bands of their 12 finalists that you could say can make Grand Nats finals every year, we get that! But you have recent State finalists, Super Regional finalists, consistent Area and regional finalists into the 20’s here at this contest. Many talented schools to be had. Wakeland and Keller don’t separate as much from the pack as one would think here. I’ve said before, this is basically combining much of UIL area B and C together for one contest, it’ll be tough for every band competing!

Tubalord11 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Lovejoy is officially on the participation list. With that being said, here are my early predictions for this comp! I think Bell is going to have a really strong season, but we’ll see how they do at dfw. I’m keeping Mustang off for now as it’s been said they won’t be attending this comp anymore and only Midland, but I’ll change my preds if needed when the schedule is released. Will do another set sometime the week of, but I think it will look something like this: 1st: Keller(music/GE) 2nd: L.D. Bell(visual) 3rd: Wakeland 4th: Waxahachie 5th: Timber Creek 6th: Prosper 7th: Southlake Carroll 8th: Robert E Hendrickson 9th: Duncanville 10th: Rock Hill 11th: Forney 12th: Keller Central A champion: Whitesboro(caption sweep) AA champion: Lovejoy(caption sweep) 2nd: Grapevine 3rd: Poteet AAA champion: Wakeland(caption sweep) 2nd: Forney 3rd: Mckinney North AAAA champion: Keller(music/GE) 2nd: L.D. Bell(visual) 3rd: Waxahachie This comp is beyond stacked, and many bands who “deserve finals” won’t make it, hopefully there’s some shakeup, but it will be one for the books, that’s for sure! I could easily see many other bands taking 10th-12th, just basing these off the end of last season. It’s gonna be a heck of a battle to get into finals, and this is probably the comp I’m looking forward to the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
