Any idea who is attending?

In sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think it's happening this year as there's literally no new information about this comp yet and it's too late in the year to not have anything for it. And one of the MISD bands, John Horn, has already planned a comp this day, the USBands Dallas Regional.

I know Heath and Rockwall have it on their Calendar, and the Mesquite band has it on their calendar saying “Mesquite Marching Festival (We host and perform)”

Yeah I would be very surprised if it wasn’t happening. I’d imagine Hebron probably will be going once again, but it seems like this is always a staple comp to the start of the season.

Poteet has this on their calendar

I guess it's just that when I go on the website it still has October 1, 2022.

Heath, not Health 😅

Mesquite always has a band competition every year. However, there are several other competitions around the area that same weekend as well. I know there is a big one the same day in Princeton as well.

There’s also HEB, Wylie, and multiple boa comps in tx. 

[TexasStrangers]

Also, Sunnyvale is having a band competition the same day. If I remember the past few years several bands would play Mesquite then either go and play at Sunnyvale or Princeton as well.

Great performances today! Was really blown away by some of those shows. As always, Hebron had me mesmerized with their performance!! It is one of my personal favorites from them, I love the “Monomyth” concept. Also, EIN HELDENLEBEN!!!! I was so focused on their show I even forgot to hit “record” on my phone… 

I was also highly impressed with Lakeview Centennial’s show. Their visuals are outstanding!!! That ballad of theirs had me at the edge of my seat for sure! They easily got my attention with Newman’s “Blow It Up, Start Again”, it was really good! 

Rockwall’s show also blew me away! Their concept was something I really like to see! I loved that muted trumpet solo in the beginning. Also, they have an amazing color guard!! Awesome performances!!

I saw 1st and 2nd performance but not 3rd's. Could you tell me if Rockwall Heaths performance was good?

They were good, and I think considering they had a couple bad tears and still got 3rd is significant
