BandNerd07 Posted July 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 I wonder how this contest will go, as I think this is one of the easier areas in the state. 5A bands didn't advance to state last year but if they did, Aledo, Colleyville Heritage, Richland and Brewer would've made state.

I’d say Aledo is gonna win again, probably will for a while. CH will most likely be second, I’d say 3rd and 4th could be many bands (Azle,Richland, Midlothian, Brewer, Birdville, Summit) just depends on whose strongest the evening of.

Percplayer19 Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Last year Burleson Centennial chose not to attend but would have been one of the four. This was the finals last year without BC attending, try telling 5-10 this is the “easiest “ areas? It’s not these are quality programs some like Richland have a wonderful perigee just like many the competition in other areas got harder. Richland had a rebirth last year and will have a better season coming up and I believe will surprise some but we have history and believe the program is returning to form. Good luck to all bands in this area. 10th: Saginaw 9th: Grapevine 8th: Summit 7th: Birdville 6th: Azle 5th: Midlothian 4th : Brewer 3rd: Richland 2nd: CH 1st: Aledo BandDad4Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d definitely say they are probably locked for that 3rd, maybe even second spot, and the true battle is for forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percplayer19 Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 It’s unfortunate this area has many band programs that don’t make area and only has 4 Representatives leaving out some really good bands. Now that creates it harder which makes for a very competitive area knowing only 4 will make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wished more Fort Worth ISD bands would advance to area instead of just Arlington Heights, South Hills, and Southwest. They used to be good at making area before covid hit and it just seems like they haven't fully recovered yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave609 Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Thought it would be time to bring this one back, but if everything is correct, all 11 bands from Region 30 recieved a 1st Divison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandNerd07 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 About that: Crowley HS is actually a 6A school, but for some reason is listed as a 5A school on texasmusicforms.com. But you are correct, that all Region 30 bands made 1's: Aledo Azle Brewer Burleson Centennial Cleburne Everman Granbury Joshua Saginaw Dave609 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, it looks like 23 bands will attend this contest considering all Region 31 bands advance, which means we would have 10 finalists and 4 state advancers in this area.

Anthony V Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 I wanted to point out how Aledo, Burleson Centennial, and Colleyville Heritage will be at the BISD contest this Saturday. (Richland will also, but will be in exhibition.) Several other potential finalists for 5A Area F will be at this contest, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandNerd07 Posted October 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 After the Birdville Marching Festival, here are my final predictions for this area: * means they competed at Birdville. Richland and Birdville will not be included since they were exhibition and didn't "compete". 1. Burleson Centennial* 2. Aledo* 3. Colleyville Heritage* 4. Azle 5. Richland 6. Midlothian 7. Birdville 8. Burleson* 9. Brewer* 10. Summit*/Timberview* Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandDad4Life Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Richland won a BOA Regional and a U.S. Bands Regional and you have them 5th? I don’t know about that. BandMom07 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about that. Yeah, I didn't think about that. I didn't get to see their exibition performance, so my predictions might be off. But reallistically, I would have them in the top 3. Aledo and BC are for sure locks, and it's up for grabs between Richland, CH, and Azle. Really wished this area could send more bands to state as stacked as it is. Unfortunately, too many bands from Region 5 did not advance, so we will once again only see 4 bands advance.

BandNerd07 Posted October 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Another thing I will say. About Brewer, last year was honestly a fluke for them in area finals. They got 8th in prelims but then for some reason moved all the way up to 4th in finals, beating out Azle, Midlothian, and Birdville, something I would've never imagined.

I think it's mostly due to poor funding. FWISD isn't really a great district for music education, as most bands don't advance to area. Most of these bands can't afford props, brand new uniforms, or even a semi truck. I feel like they throw all of their money to PHS because of the fact that they are 6A, while the other programs are left and abandoned. I've seen Paschal's show and it almost looks like a BOA show with the props and guard uniforms, and the style of music. What do the other bands get? Almost nothing. They don't even have a semi truck (Paschal is the only one that does), and the other programs just use another school bus to store equipment. Really wished the other programs had the support Paschal has, otherwize they might start doing better. BandDad4Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
