The senior class is now the class most effected by covid IMO for high school, with the freshman now barely effected by COVID being their 1st year (which does depend on the teaching of the middle schools but generally teachers can run them through the basics fast after a year), so Im expecting some shift in power in the middle portion of bands and curious if anyone has some takes. Cy-Woods, L.D Bell, bridgeland are some new finalists I could see, Bridgeland has been very very clean for this early in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie I don’t see Cedar Ridge going from 3rd to not making finals, but it’s definitely possible for SLC to make it. I know they did really well at Nats, but I wouldn’t use that as a reason to put them in finals or even get out of Area B for that matter. UIL and BOA are completely different, and their show imo seems more boa oriented than UIL. I’d love for them to do well, but we definitely need to see how they do before determining how well they could do. But do love you having high hopes for them, I think they could surprise a lot of people this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packwick Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 juuudging panels have been posted for all classes, again 6A is verrry DCI/BOAish, but ofc the system itself is more music perf oriented. less in-state influence i guess. Steve Bentley (mus), Jeff Brooks (mus), Darrin Davis (mus), Glenn Fugett (mus), Mark Hoskins (mus), Jay Kennedy (mus), Kyle Miller (vis), Carl Nelson (vis), Chris Romanowski (mus), Mike Stone (vis), Jim Sturgeon (vis), Steve Wessels (mus) perc judges likely will be J Brooks and C Romanowksi swapping b/w prelims and finals. Mark Hoskins likely judging brass in at least one round lol. S Wessels for woodwinds both rounds?? only one i don't know for sure is brass/perc oriented lol. design imma guess it'll trade off bw 1 of D Davis, G Fugett, J Kennedy and 1 of M Stone and K Miller, both groups judge effect at major DCI/BOA comps for mus and vis respectively. other perf captions = everyone else not doing design lol.

LostChoirGuy Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I've been having trouble following all of the areas and the number of state qualifiers each will have. Can someone go through and say how many each area will be sending? (barring anything unusual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostChoirGuy Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 This is going to be super competitive, but no Cedar Ridge likely just opened up a spot in finals for another group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoodbuffet Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Looking across state qualifiers, no Cedar Ridge is a huge shock. I think the following are highly likely finalists Coppell Waxahachie Hebron Marcus Flomo Reagan Round Rock CTJ (rumors of their demise greatly exaggerated) Pearland Woodlands Vandy Vista all are consistent finalists and short of a catastrophe, I don’t see any missing finals. That leaves LD Bell Westlake Westwood Lake Travis Dripping Springs fighting for the last two spots in finals (it’s 14 finalists this year right?) It’s going to be an exciting contest! It’s going to feel weird that it’s before BOA. crunchycookie3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
