Here my early thoughts on a lot of these J programs for this year; i think itll be another great year as this area impressed me a lot last year LISD big 3 most likely will go to state all again, with my personal order being Flomo Hebron Marcus in that order, all 3 could be in contention for each spot of those positions however; well have to see how their shows for this following year treats them. But my opinion for this specific order is that Flower Mound is way more of a heavy theming school and with all these other schools starting to develop (Bwell, WISD, MISD PESH, etc) I think that theming could possibly start being more necessary Prosper HS is probably gonna have another killer year with the Grand Nats appearance and 16th at the SMBC; however I want to wait and see how the new Richland school they are opening in the west of the district will affect their program before I make any big opinions on their program, but they will most likely be a contender for state once again. Braswell is a bit tricky on me to decide on right now just because of the sudden jump, but I think that they will most likely have another good season, and even possibly a visit to State if they can find a way to take advantage of Prosper high's situation with richland. Also keep in mind DISD is opening a new HS in the Crossroads area in 2027, but that wont be an issue for Bwell for these next few years. Wylie ISD will probably both be finals calibur once more, but keep in mind the new management, more notably Weast now has Sachse's Head director, which could be a really useful asset after their really killer season at SHS last year. Another big thing that could be talked about is the guard programs in these programs could have an effect on the programs this year, with those proposals for the judging system. Little Elm is having a historic Open season; Marcus is still really strong, and Prosper Wylie and Rock hill are also having good seasons this year, but in general a lot of the guards here are really good too not just the ones mentioned here. I think this year will be a great year for pretty much every band in this area and I cant wait to see how their shows end up for this year.

So incredibly proud of Liberty Hill Guard this season. First year participating in WGI and made finals in San Antonio. Made TCGC State Championships for the first time in school history and came in 4th in their round. They can’t be sad about coming in under Jordan, Tomball and Tomball Memorial. It was a fun night for sure.

Dripping Springs won SNA last night with a 91.82! Hopefully this is a good sign for them at dayton.

(Please let me know if this isn't the right forum for this topic.) Band has been a competitive activity for many years. Some are new to the game, others have been on the scene for decades. Why not post a brief about your band's competitive history and awards won. Here is the Flower Mound High School Band history. The 2011-12 school year was the first year that FMHS decided to be a competitor in the BOA events and was the first year for Brent Biskup to be the Assistant Director/Director of Marching (luckily it was also my daughter's freshman year at FMHS). In 2012 Mr. Biskup became the Director of Bands 2019 - Vitrifiy - 1st place BOA Dallas/Ft.

This area's gonna be fun this year, I think that a lot of these director changes will help spice it up. I think Sachse will still place high in area and state. They had a really great show last year and I think they could continue that momentum as GISD is slowly getting on the map with them and LCHS; I dont see them falling down many spots at Area.

All 3 McKinney schools will be in exhibition! Also here’s some others schools going per their calendar: Lovejoy Grapevine Frisco Reedy Frisco Emerson Frisco Memorial Melissa Plano East Plano West Plano Senior
