SFA still won Friendswood Marching Contest, so I am surprised about hearing director issues. I will admit I did not hear a lot about Cy Falls this year. Any idea what happened?

After this season, which bands do you think have gone up or down?

For the Houston bands, I am unsurprised by Cy Fair. I thought they should have been a bit higher. What I am surprised about is how Seven Lakes edged out Friendswood and Clear Brook. Did anyone get to see their performances and if so, what caused Seven Lakes to shoot up this year because prior to this they hadn't placed higher than 34.

JET Band will make state!! I'm telling you! this is our year!!

If 7 bands do in fact advance, the JET Band is a shoo-in for state. They have had a fantastic year so far. 8th at BOA Conroe, 3rd at Battle of the Berry. No reason it will end just there. Watch out!

I'm going to take a stab at the 10 Area Finalists: {in no order} Cy Fair Cy Falls James E. Taylor Clements Stephen F. Austin Friendswood Clear Brook Brazoswood Dickinson Langham Creek Tough, TOUCH competition here. Only locks are James E. Taylor, Cy Fair, and Stephen F. Austin.

James E. Taylor will make state. They are off to a fantastic start this year after making BOA Conroe finals and beating out all the other Katy ISD bands.

Coming from a member of the JET Band, I do believe our band (James E. Taylor) and our rivals Seven Lakes have the room to grow. We made BOA regional finals for the first time since 2013, and that was with some minor issues too. Seven Lakes, while I have yet to hear their show, definitely is on the upward this year as well. I am excited to see how both of these schools' shows turn out in late October.

JET band is back and ready for action

What did I say?

JET Band will surprise and make finals!

James E. Taylor - Duality

I really think my school James E. Taylor has a shot at finals this year. Just like the Horn Rank website said, we have always been right outside of finals. This year, not a lot of finalists are returning from previous years. Along with that, programs like Clements and Cypress Falls are dropped out. Also, we have been working really hard and have had our entire show learned since two weeks ago. We have rehearsed diligently and our musicality as an ensemble has really blossomed this year. That, coupled with our fantastic drumline, leads me to believe that the James E. Taylor band will make finals.
