I wonder how else may be coming here now that Little Elm got canceled. I'd love to see the whole lineup come here, I know that Golden Triangle in Denton is also on this day, but it's now even better. New Preds: 1st: Lone Star (caption sweep) 2nd: W.E. Boswell 3rd: Frisco Liberty 4th: Rowlett 5th: Princeton 6th: Celina 7th: Lakeview Centennial 8th: Anna 9th: Canton 10th: Sulpher Springs 11th: China Springs 12th: A lot of bands 2A champion: Rivercrest 3A champion: Mineola 4A champion: Celina 5A champion: Lone Star 6A champion: Boswell The real fight will be for the last couple of spots for finals. I could possibly see Mineola taking it, but it won’t be easy too. Probably will be another top 4A band unless Naaman Forest shows up, don’t know anything about the program but being a 6A bands at comps like this seems to help most of the time, so I could also see them take it. should be a very good competition!

Do you know why Little Elm was cancelled? Ik historically it wasn't always the most stacked comp but it still tended to draw in some really good bands like Lone Star, Centennial, MN last year. maybe just not enough people singed up for it to be reasonable to have the comp.

Yeah it’s been a strong lineup since at least 2019, and idk why they cancelled, it was announced just this morning that they’re going to Melissa Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember that September 23rd is historically very early in the marching season. A lot of programs in the DFW area (especially the bigger ones) probably wouldn't be ready to start competition until the next week. Also, two additional competitions are scheduled within the same vicinity that day. Melissa (to be fair they completely booked that competition) mostly consists of smaller bands that wouldn't draw in much in terms of attendance and concession sales, but LE still misses out on the registration fee. I suspect many of the bigger programs that choose to compete this early elected for the Golden Triangle Classic, possibly due to a lower registration fee or easier access (LE's stadium is 20 minutes off of the DNT).

No it’s the same, and Frisco Lonestar was a finalist in 2019 for 5A, not 2021. they were 4 our placing 16th behind Roma, Wylie East and Lebanon Trail. And making the evening finals is the same as being a state finalist, only the top 12 advanced in 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
