Where do you find out this information? Has it been announced to the students?

My predictions Waxahachie Rockwall Sachse Forney Duncanville JJ Pearce Berkner North Forney Lake Highlands Royse City

It's due to it being a school night. Getting students off the field can take quite a long time after retreat.

This is quite a prediction.

Someone needs to lock this thread.

Idk how to judge this Duncanville show. It's good, and they sound good but the visual presentation is really lacking imo. They look good, don't get me wrong there just isn't enough interest visually. Although theres quite a few feet timing problems throughout.

This area is going to be so interesting. I got to see Sachse for the first time tonight and if they can clean up some drill I think they'll have a better shot at the top 4. Was very impressed. Rockwall was very clean and sounded good. Forney sounded okay, not the power that we're used to seeing from them or from the size of that band. I honestly think it'll entirely depend on how the judges interpret things because theres no doubt waxahachie will make it but Rockwall and JJ Pearce have very clean productions that don't take too many risks while Forney and Sachse have larger productions that are riskier and will the judges credit them for that, only time will tell. November 2nd is going to be crazy!

How were bands tonight? I haven’t seen results but I’m assuming everyone got a 1

Just curious, but you’ve seen most groups. What are your predictions? The biased and unbiased versions 😂

I’m 99% sure that military bands count even if they don’t show up to area. Area C 5A sent like 4 bands to state last year and had less then 20 at area itself.

Can someone explain to me how royse city decides finalists? This is very confusing

Looking like only 4 spots to state Region 3 (UIL on tuesday) Crandall Greenville Kaufman Lakeview Centennial Naamen Forest North Mesquite Poteet South Garland Terrell West Mesquite Region 4 Hallsville 1 Marshall 1 Mt Pleasant 1 Texas 1 Region 20 Adamson 3 Bryan Adams 1 Desoto 1 Ennis 1 Highland Park 1 Hillcrest 2 Jefferson 2 Red Oak 1 South Oak Cliff 3 Sunset 2 WT White 3 WW Samuell 3 Wilson 2 Region 21 Jacksonville 1 Lufkin 1 Nacogdoches 1 Tyler 2 Whitehouse 1

Just 2 so far. Tyler Legacy and Longview. Region 3 (UIL on Wednesday) Forney Garland John Horn Mesquite North Forney North Garland Rockwall Heath Rockwall Rowlett Royse City Sachse Region 4 no 6As Region 20 (UIL on Wednesday) Berkner Duncanville Irving JJ Pearce Lake Highlands Lancaster MacArthur Nimitz Richardson Skyline Waxahachie Region 21 Tyler Legacy 1 Longview 1

M&G and Seven Lakes actually tied for 6th in prelims so the split was a Top 7/Bottom 5 going into finals.

It could also be the fact that their percussion ensemble is traveling to Midwest this year so they decided to cut some costs by not doing as many contests.

imo, LC is going to have to really out perform the rest of the competition from a cleanliness and sound stand point because the product they have compared to everyone else is really lacking from what I've seen. Their show last year was much better designed then this year

Who all made finals??

Some videos of schools!

Waxahachie beat forney JJ Pearce beat Rockwall Sachse beat Duncanville This contest just got really interesting!!

It’s probably because they took all 13 to finals. Making the split top 7, bottom 6.

Whatever your path is down the road keep doing both! Having both experiences at the end of the day will only be a positive for you! Best of luck!

No Lakeview??? whoa

Thats pretty presumptuous of you to say they do it for an ego boost. In previous years they started coming to this festival when their Area was at this stadium. I think for a first contest, mesquite is great for bands if they want to eaze into the contest season a little bit. It's a 1 and done and if you're one of the later groups to go it means no early morning but still a contest. Sort of treated like a dress rehearsal for the coming weekends.

Hard to truly tell from this video, but sachse looks much stronger this year then last year.

Been waiting for a group to do Song of Hope on the field, bravo Vista. That's going to be incredible in November. RIP Ryan Anthony
