Diego Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Muffin that’s a strong prediction I’ll second that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpudMuffin Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Is everyone excited for today??? Alexander has had a lot of new staff the past few years. Will that affect them? How will Harlingen do without the great RR helping out? Anyone else heard Los Fresnos? Killer brass. The directors at United and Hanna are old dudes. How do they stay current? Weslaco seems to want it really bad. Is their show at that level? PSJA and San Benito might surprise today. Can the Edinburg schools make it to the top??

charlespercussion Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 IMPORTANT FOR ALL SHOWING UP TO THE CONTEST TODAY! It is very hot, and there is almost zero cloud coverage. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids before arriving and whilst in the stands. Also, please make an effort to stay and watch all bands. I promise they (directors and students alike) will appreciate the support. Good luck to all bands, and stay safe, everyone. yayband914 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
