One band that has certainly proven themselves time and time again is Newman Smith by going to state for their 3rd consecutive year. They have gone through several head director changes since they got 6th in 09 and having a new percussion director and assistant director, they have done extremely well and to make 2nd at area! Looking forward as to how well they do at state, I'd definitely count on them being at finals, and hats off to Lake Ridge for such an amazing show!

Area B was by far, one of the hardest areas to compete in, so many great schools fighting it out for a spot at state, it was a big surprise that underdogs like Newman Smith and Lake Ridge were able to knock of big contenders like centennial and legacy, it all came down to focus, determination and who wanted it more!
