A good first step in bringing a section together is to have a way to communicate with each other easily. The most common and successful way I have seen this done is by means of a Facebook group. Make the title "(band's name) trumpet section 2012" or something like that. The group can be a place where people can post information, questions, and what not. Then invite as many of the people in the section as you can to the group, making section leaders the admins. A good next step is to have section parties. Invite all members of the section (not just your favorites). Inviting members can be done through word of mouth and through the mentioned Facebook group. These parties are a good place for members of the section to bond with each other. Try to create traditions that are unique to your section. And make sure incoming freshman feel at home and accepted during the first few days/weeks of summer band. hope this helps.

My favorites this year were by: Cedar Ridge CTJ Ronald Reagan The Woodlands

Why not Texas State University ( Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium)?

Why isn't this competition in the predictions list, unless I am mistaken, hasn't it been there in past years? But also, to add to the discussion, I believe there are many bands that are stepping up their game this year, which is a great thing to see.
