It’ll still be an LISD sweep if they medal. 😉

All great programs too! These 40 bands are representing the best of the best across the state. Some areas have more heavy hitters than others, and thus making it more difficult to advance to state. However, I’m not here to discount the work of any program. I’m 10+ years removed from this activity myself. My program made state 1 year out of the 2 we competed. We were first alternate at area the first year and placed 3rd at state in the old 4A, what would now be 5A, 2 years after. I understand what it feels like to be on the outside looking in - but healthy competition is good for all. All of these programs will continue to improve year over year & some who have made state in the past, may miss in the future, that’s just how competitive Texas Band is. Keep up the good work and strive to make a difference, for the better! 🤘🏼

You’re in the TOP 40 bands of 250ish across the state. That’s basically the top 16% of 6A bands in the state. While easier said than understood in the moment, these placements do not subtract from what an accomplishment your program has achieved. Congrats on a great season!

Hopefully that’ll get ironed out in finals with fewer bands to place. 🤞🏻

That’s Robert Herrings for you. 😊

No Vista Ridge is interesting 🧐

I believe Area D is only sending 5. McNeil just missed the cut.

Is there a mute button for some of these folks? Moderators… 👀

This is still considered the Austin Regional, per MFA, to avoid any confusion. Source: https://marching.musicforall.org/event/austin-regional-2024/

More tid bits from recaps - there were 5 bands that improved their placement from prelims to finals: Waxahachie, Cy-Fair, Bridgeland & Vista Ridge all moved up two placements from prelims to finals. Pearland moved up one placement from prelims to finals.

Same thing occurred in prelims, under the same caption (Vis. Individual) too!
