  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. Word on the street is that Logan Stalcup (current Frisco Memorial head director) is on his way to reedy high school
  4. That's not really a good hosting location though. Favors the bands up north. 4A Area E would probably be closer for the SETX bands if Mount Pleasant hosted Area C.
  5. Yeah, it became a rule for us last year that no water to Rehersal, ment you were sent home.
  6. New school alert: Gene Tomas High School located in Lamar CISD will open in the fall 2025. Pooling students from foster and fulshear. (I think this group will be in 5A Area E/Region 13) Presents: "Chapter One" Director: Kenneth Cox from Fulshear HS AND their arrange is Vince Oliver (arranger for the Mandarins) With this design team, they will likely take off in their first year and have a chance of making it to state. (more information can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/TomasHSBand#)
  7. Most programs Ive seen (at least for north DFW) refuse to let kids onto the bus without their water jugs since its a part of their uniform checklist, any program that doesnt have this as a requirement to go to any game, show, competition, or heck especially rehearsals is really setting them up for failure If this isnt mandatory for EVERY school, Im frankly shocked there hasnt been more lawsuits or reports of heatstroke
  8. The Mesquite Marching Festival will be located at Mesquite ISD Staduim on September 27th 2025. Here's the list of all competing bands that have it listed as of 4/28 Mesquite West Mesquite North Mesquite Poteet Highland Park Rockwall
  9. You also should take in account that some students are gonna be stupid and not bring water cause they're not thinking. But I'm sure most band boosters out there have water stations at the very least.
  10. Mount Pleasant could host it as well. They already host the region 4 marching contest. It could possibly work as well.
  11. Speaking of the stadium situation, i was thinking if Gilmer would be able to host it. Right in the middle and has lots of space. the only thing that would be a problem is trying to get the Ad to let them use it.
  12. This is very intersesting. The past 2 years Van alstyne and Pleasent grove have had A Thousand years in there shows (Pg bought va's show) excited to see how this plays out
  13. Region 25 should be back in this area in 2026. Celina,Comunity, and Panther creek will most likely be moving upto 5a. that just leaves Farmersville,Van Alstyne, and Bonahm. Farmersville and Van Alstyne could easily take 2 of those state spots for the 2026 season
  14. Bells,Kennedale,Pilot Point, and whitesboro are attending via band calenders Farmersville will be at the mineola contest this year over this one
  15. Melissa,Bells,Lovejoy, And Piolt Point are confirmed to be at this contest via band calanders This contest is slowley becoming a contest for bigger schools
  16. 2025 Iron Horse Marching Classic ~ Mineola TX PRELIMS Where did you find a list of confirmed bands? I’m using this one, but I’m not sure if it’s official.
  17. A long as directors are smart and keep there kids watered it really shouldn't
  18. Makes my trombone haert sad
  19. POV the directors in this area
  20. i am getting more just a journey though the ages vibe
  21. Another thing about the Melissa contest is that it is a concrete jungle with it being early in the school year. There is no where to escape the sun and it can play a factor in early and middle of the day bands performing.
  22. Ik last year they did the large school/small school where it was like top 12 large being like 5A/6A and then 4 small being 1-4A I think idk but I think Celina will be in probably but yeah it’s gonna be harder considering how popular it’s getting
  23. Nope, it's usually a pretty good contest. However, I know a couple of schools that went last year are planning on going somewhere else. Of course schedules could change.
  24. 3A Mineola made finals 2 yrs ago and 4A Celina made finals last year. It's going to be hard for a 4A to make finals because this contest now going into it's 3rd year is going to heavily attended by 5A/6A bands. You might get 1 or 2 4A's but they got to be exceptional.
  25. Mineola Iron Horse Marching Classic - October 4th (9 Bands Already Confirmed)
  26. If you are in Area B this is your year to try and step up because I have a feeling in 2026-2027 some of the Area C schools will come back to Area B to try and round it out a bit more.j I agree as well, several good bands in Area B but after the Top 3 it kind of drops. Sure, there could be some dark horses but until they get out in competition and take on some of the Area C's I don't see much changing here.
