Tied with Round Rock at 13 and they beat TWCP by 12 spots. That is awesome. Dana, Albert, Jerriald, and Taylor did an amazing job this year and made all of CISD proud! Going back to Eric Kurre, Joe Munoz, and Jack Allen, the Oak Ridge Program has seen crazy growth from a 4A to a 6A school and the band is now huge and a real competitor. (i really liked their Lux show last year. It had great potential. Round Rock would have made finals if it was not for the crazy Judge 5 scoring. What was up with that? Judge 5 score - 751/34th

Rick is great!

There are 1300 at Grand Oaks and less than 600 are 10th graders. 10th Graders were given the option to stay at Oak Ridge and apparently the District buckled on not giving those kids transportation to Oak Ridge. Now we are bus strapped. So, per BOA rules, schools with less than 600 10th thru 12th graders are classified as 1A. But, because the school has 1300+, it is considered a 5A school. Adding another 900+ 9th graders next year will put Grand Oaks at a 6A size a year before reclassification. 2019-20 GOHS will still be competing as a 5A school.

Brian and I went to College together and were in the same Orchestra Low Brass session at UH. He knows his stuff. My kiddo is in the band at Grand Oaks. The ensemble sound improvement from 8/1 until now has been amazing.

Klein Forest was a DNA

All 6 of the Conroe High Schools received I's, including the 5A's Look for a 5A Grand Oaks to be very competitive in 2019 and a 6A Grand Oaks to be holding their own with the other Conroe 6A Schools in 2020. (GOHS is a North/South split of the ORHS feeder zone)

The info in the scores is not quite correct... Grand Oaks is only 1A. They only have Freshman and Sophomores and the classification for 1A is less than 600 10th - 12th. Grand Oaks won all captions and 1st place in Class 1A for Prelims. (And they placed 6th in percussion in finals! Pretty amazing for a drumline and front ensemble of mostly Freshman!) Dave Clemmer is missing from the judges list for music. He was on the field for both Prelims, Finals and in the judges meetings with the directors.
