J-Mike16 Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 After some insane results last year with North Lamar placing 3rd in Prelims and then LCM placing 10th in Finals, I wonder what this upcoming 4A Area Contest could bring. Feel free to express what you think. *Edit - Here is the Schedule for 4A Area C. 4A Area C 2023 Schedule.pdf KimR0328 and Dave609 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I personally think Sulpher Springs will win, with NL and Lumberton not far behind. As for everyone else, it’s a gamble at this point KimR0328 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for everyone else, it’s a gamble at this point I could see that for sure. Area C is very top heavy and can be difficult trying to break past the main 5 groups that advance every year.

J-Mike16 Posted October 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 So now that we have gotten into the competition portion of the season, what are everyone's thoughts on who they think could place at this area contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimR0328 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 It’s gonna be a tight race between Lumberton, Sulpher Springs, and North Lamar, I would love to see Lumberton come out on top. J-Mike16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deank10 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 North Lamar is much stronger than they have been in years, so I think they will be 1st in Area C, with Sulphur Springs cleaning up (they are pretty messy right now) placing 2nd, and Lumberton placing 3rd. It would be awesome to see Lumberton on top, but I just don't think it'll happen with SS being a good fake 4A (essentially a 5A in terms of kids marching), and NL being better than they have in the past few years KimR0328 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new band director at NL is from Anna. He’s brought in a lot of those elements that make Anna great. deank10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy08 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 After watching most of the bands (mostly online), my prediction is Sulphur Springs, Lumberton, Bridge City, North Lamar, and Paris as well. It feels like there is a pretty big drop off after the top four and Paris and then a really steep drop off to the remaining bands. Barring something strange happening in a performance, I would be pretty shocked if it isn't the five I listed advancing to state from Area C.

J-Mike16 Posted October 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 From a non-biased point of view, Lumberton has stepped it up musically and visually. The show this year is just on another level compared to the last few. The only thing they need to do is just clean in both visual and music. If they can clean the show up (specifically the closer. They just learned it last week!), then they could potentially be a frontrunner to win Area and to then make State Finals. gregorydf01 and KimR0328 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
