All 5 Alto's and all 5 of our Tenors can do it in our show. Maybe we are just more music intensive.

The band thats been to 18 of the 20 3A State Competitions (The other 2 were disqualifications due to time), been to the finals 12 times, 4 time State Champions

Anyone have any idea of 3A? Area D has: Robinson Glen Rose Taylor Kennedale That was the finals order as well.

We're playing the opera Carmen. Area D went like this: 1. Robinson 2. Glen Rose or 3. Taylor 4. Kennedale. we were only supposed to take 3 bands but kennedale scored so well that they got to go. I'm not sure if Taylor or Glen Rose came in 2nd though. Gatesville, China Spring, Llano staying home!

I'm the worst section leader ever, we barely get out of band early enough to get to 2nd period on time (which is a college class for me). So, I leave my reed on the mouthpiece till they turn black, I go through about a box of 3.5's a semester.

We have no Bassons or oboes, probably the largest band in TX without a Basson,Oboe, or Bari-Sax.

I'm so sorry you saw us at Plano, we did much better at regionals. We're usually the largest 3A band, but i'm unsure this year. We are actually less traditional this year than we have been in the past and we're still VERY traditional.

Only 3 advance out of this area this year.

Our trompones are anything but slackers. The section leader is a 3 time All-State Trombone (will be 4 years after this year) and they play all the solos in the stands on friday nights. 6 of them even play exit music after our show this year. They are the only section to actually win section of the week this year as well. The best section in our band by far.

Watch out for A&M Consolidated. Thier band director came and gave us a clinic on monday night and he is very intimidating and he knows how to get things done. Made us 50% better in 2.5 hours, IMO.

my thoughts.......... Llano-Made state in 04', but I haven't seen them since. Robinson-my band, came in 2nd at State in 04'. We did very poorly at Plano East Marching Festival, but got sweepstakes last week. Giddings- unknown La Grange-Unknown Comanche-Unknown Sealy- got a 1-2-3 last week leaving them with a 2nd Division, but no band got a first division in this regional and 2 bands must advane to area. How do you get a 1 from one judge and a 3 from another? Taylor-Supposedly doing very well, just moved down from 4A Gatesville- Came in last at state 2 years ago, usually very good. I haven't seen them this year till the the week before state when we play them in football Columbus-Unknown Kennedale- Didn't seem to good when we played them in football earlier, but we were very poor back then as well. Liberty Hill- Unknown Bellville- got a Division 2 last week in Sealy's Region and was the other band to advance Smithville-Unknown China Spring- Military band that wasbarely left out of state two years ago, very good band. We play them on friday, so i'll get a good look at them. Glen Rose-Unknown Rockdale- Not a very good band, but might have improved Wimberly-Unknown I say it goes like this 1.) Smithville 2.) Gatesville 3.) Robinson ------------------- 4.) China Spring 5.) Taylor 6.) Llano 7.) Wimberly

We have just over 200 marching and we have 5 Altos, 5 tenors, & 0 bari. With our band we have 1 bass clarinet who does everyting with the saxes. Tenor Sction leader representing

Have you seen any perform this year? out of this Area Llano, Robinson, & Gatesville made state in 04. Llano & Gatesville didn't make to fianls and we came in 2nd.

I doubt anyone has seen my band, but what the hay. Robinson High School back-to-back 2nd Place at 3A State (May Canton burn)

Anyone have any idea? I know no one pays attention to 3A, but we matter too. I know Region 8 is bringing Robinson China Spring Gatesville

For region 8-3A only 3 bands moved on: Robinson Gatesville China Spring Some surprising 2's were: Lorena Groesbeck We usually get 6-7 our of our region. I guess maybe bands are down this year.
