Gehrig4 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Direct from the UIL alignment map. Crowley is 6a. I don’t know why they aren’t listed to march at Area…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandGuy88 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Good to hear there will (assuming Crowley gets added on the schedule??) be 7 spots for state. Even then, that means that only one of these schools that are strong enough to make State in almost any other area of the state will make it in to Area B: Southlake Carroll, Martin, Lake Highlands, Berkner, Haltom, Lake Ridge, Mansfield, Highland Park, Pearce, Duncanville, etc....

BandNerd07 Posted October 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 TMF has now fixed the error. Crowley is now listed as 6A, so maybe they'll also add Crowley to the official schedule, now that this issued has been fixed.

Popular Post BandNerd07 Posted October 17, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Well, it's official. All 5 Region 31 bands received 1's and advanced to area. In hopes that they fix the Crowley issue, we will have 7 state advancers. crunchycookie3, Dave609, Luke Givens and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timber Creek - Can definitely see them top half of state! Happy with their progress. 3. Keller - Very strong visual this year, music could be a tad better but definitely a finalist contender. 4. Keller Central - Very strong sound, and good marching, finalist contender for sure. 5. Southlake Carrol - One of the most consistent in Texas, very good band. 6. Coppell - Honestly kinda struggling this year, wish they would do better. Southlake Carroll is definitely not one of the most consistent bands in texas😭. but i agree they fs making state BandDad4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So idk, but I really hope we will still send 7 bands to state. There was a previous contest, where a few DNA's were listed on the score sheets.

(apologies if I left anyone off) Lake Highlands has an enjoyable show this year in my opinion, but I don't know how much it's geared toward BOA and general effect as opposed to the cleanliness that is more desirable at state. Berkner sounded good when I heard them last, so I completely agree with that! Highland Park I think could pull through. Their show was pretty lack-luster last season, but I like the show a lot more this season. With a little bit more cleanliness musically, they could be a contender for the last spot in state maybe as well for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how low their visual and music scores were at BOA, they've both still got a lot of work to do. Both are more "fun" shows than super competitive shows, at least in my opinion, but neither are super hard shows, especially Highland Park, so while I do see them both possibly making finals, I struggle to see either of them making state unless they have cleaned up like cray.

crunchycookie3 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Does anyone know what the finals draw is? Interested in what that order may potentially look like. I know the performance order really shouldn’t matter, but I think it really does—otherwise, BOA wouldn’t have the top-half/bottom-half draw. Finals will be going very late, and results could potentially come after midnight. ChristopherRoden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCVanguard Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Performance draw is NOT top half/bottom half. It is a 100% redraw at the finalist meeting. JazzRun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been a powerhouse like they are now until Post-Covid Before that, making Area finals was a struggle for them on their own, but since 2021 yes, I would say they've been moderately consistent with making finals at the comps they attend. 16 minutes ago, Starwar said: Maybe, I could see them falling to 7th or 8th, but probably going to make state I guess And this 100% will not happen lol. Coppell is another band much like SLC, who was really good pre-covid, but came back Extremely strong, winning area both in 2021 and 2022. I'm curious as to why you have them so low, as they are definitely the favorite to win area again after placing 4th at BOA Dfw Dallas Hobbs and CosmicLimbo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandNerd07 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I was wondering who made the predictions page for this contest because there's a few bands missing in this such ad Grand Prairie, MacArthur, Nimitz, North Crowley, and Richardson. Yeah ik these bands probably won't make finals, but it would still be cool to see where they stand in the aggregate predictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaiah Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Here's what I got (was gonna post them in alphabetical order, but that's not as fun): 1. Coppell 2. LD Bell 3. Timber Creek 4. Keller Central 5. Keller 6. Waxahachie 7. Southlake Carroll I think these 7 bands are all locked in for state, but probably not in this exact order.
