whitewing09 Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 So who do yall thinks gonna make it too 5A and 3A state. and im asking for state not BOA cuz not all schools do BOA. Quote
bluebellbrass07 Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 no clue with all the realingments and such. i am really curious to see how arglye does in 3A though. someone told me westfield is doing uil agian this year, is this true? Quote
TRtrumpet Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Probably not anyone in my region, I saw all the 3'a and there were some good ones, but nothing special. Hebbronville will make it for 2A in our state year though. Wait can someone please explain to me how this works? So 3a and 5a go to state one year, then 1a and 4a the next year? Quote
Fortisimo Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Yeah, they altrenate the years. Like Bluebellbrass said, with re-alignments it's hard to tell. I guess the most accurate thing to say is that I am cautiously optimistic. It will definetly will not be a fight for the weak of heart though- that's for sure. Quote

whitewing09 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 i dont think their will be much of a difference. hopefully My band makes it. there was one band in our Area not to far from from here but not in our district that made like 3 so itll be hard hopefully the judges will be fair my friends got cheated last state year Quote
actualgirltrombone Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Which areas will be really competitive next year? I'm lookin at area D mostly... but i really have no clue which so called "powerhouse" schools will be in what area. Also... do bands going to BOA GN generally try to get to state, or do they concentrate on BOA? Quote
euro_euph06 Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 The only 5A Area I know about is Area D. Here is a list of top competitors: Cedar Park Leander Winston Churchill Ronald Reagan James Bowie (Austin) Judson Seguin Westlake How it will pan out in Area D (in my opinion) according to how UIL works: 1) Cedar Park (2nd in State Finals '04) 2) Winston Churchill (5th in State Finals '04) 3) Ronald Reagan (8th in State Finals in '04) 4) James Bowie (9th in State Finals in '04) Just think...What would happen if with the Conroe, Spring, and Klein districts were still in this Area. Add the Woodlands, Spring, Westfield, Klein Forest, and Klein to the mix. You might even have the 2nd place at Grand Nats in '05 band watching from home. Other "good" Areas are Area E and Area F. But probably the best is Area D. Quote

Furthermore... After what Ronald Reagan produced in 2005, their music ability is something that needs to be notice now. That band can flat out play. Quote

That band can flat out play. Yes---they have some music abilitity and they can sort of flat out play. But there are better bands that have greater music ability and that can flat out rock the crowds. I've noticed that since their inception as a high school that they produce better placement results in BOA than in UIL. I stick with my placements. Quote
Amusicman Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I would also say that one of the toughest area competitions will be Area B. Haltom Richland L.D. Bell Marcus Martin Plano East Hebron Lewisville Collyville Area C also has three of the top bands in the state- Berkner Coppell Duncanville Quote
chickora Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I hate to say it's hard to say. Each year it seems that Marching Bands in Texas are sky rocketing. I don't know if its the new music or the judges are being easy on them.. i don't know. I see it as that people in Texas Marching Bands, people are realizing band is life..and are actually devoting this year as something good. I honestly can't wait until next year because if Round Rock does as good as we did last year, we definitely have a chance to make state. That's all I have to say. Quote
MartinHorn Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Quote I would also say that one of the toughest area competitions will be Area B.Haltom Richland L.D. Bell Marcus Martin Plano East Hebron Lewisville Collyville Indeed, and not just because we are in there, but because bands like Bell, Richland, and Haltom provide such intense competition. Quote
whitewing09 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 I say area D is gonna be pretty good cuz like those are really good bands n all. but lets see who kicks **** next yaer. Quote
euro_euph06 Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Here is the Area distribution of '04 bands that made the Finals at State with the new reallignments: Area B Haltom (7th) L.D. Bell (1st) Area C Duncanville (3rd) Area D Cedar Park (2nd) Ronald Reagan (8th) Winston Churchill (5th) James Bowie (9th) Area E Langham Creek (4th) Clements (10th) Area F The Woodlands (6th) Take it as you want. Area D has the best talent. Quote
mbui Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 You can't really gauge on who has the "best" Area with results from two years ago. So much has changed in Texas marching band since 2004. Bands like Richland, Marcus, Cypress Falls & James Bowie have all stepped up their game. I expect Cedar Park to advance to the State Championships. Not saying they will place first in Area D because it's still way way too early to make any such predictions. But, the improvement by James Bowie over the years cannot be overlooked. Also, I feel that we should be celebrating the amount of talent that we have in our state. Only a few across the country can really say that. Personally, I'm excited about the upcoming 2006 marching season. It looks like it's going to be one of, or if not, the best year for Texas marching band. I'll probably say it again once the season approaches but... As a spectator, I can't wait to see you all of you kids "bring it." Quote

Same here. Next year will be my first year to be a spectator since I am graduating in May (w00t-w00t). Quote

actualgirltrombone Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Don't say that... we might get called the "rowdy band from the timberland" and that would just be... bad. Quote
euro_euph06 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Guess what? I did say that. I am just pointing out the truth. Anyone can look at that and say "CP 6, JBOPE 4." So ya Jennifer, your in the "rowdy band from the timberland" Quote
Trumpeter07 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 So yeah i think its too early to tell who is gonna be good next year or who's gonna make it to State or not. I in fact don't really care who makes it as long as its a good compitition and the kids in the bands at state have fun and do their shows to the best of their abilities. Good luck to all in 2006 State year!!!!!! and as mbui and euro_euph06 said just "Bring it!" Quote
bluebellbrass07 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 of course its too early to tell who will be good, its february!!! lol show concepts arnet even concrete, yet ppl still make predictions, i just find it funny i guess Quote
