This is how I imagine non LISD schools felt last year waking up to see they got stuck in Area J. 😭

?

Oh nice this one’s gonna be fun!

Wait so did Waxahachie lose Armstrong? Anyone able to confirm who/if Waxahachie is having director changes?

Dville had 4 trumpet all staters this year and I don’t think any of them were seniors! This next year will probably be their strongest high brass section ever. Really hope their show takes advantage of this and does more cool stuff like what they did with their screamer last year.

They do usually have a pretty big group so I’m sure that definitely adds to the cost. I remember walking past them in the lot at area my junior year and just thinking “woah I thought we had a big band”

This sucks they’ve grown so much in the last 10 years I thought this would be a great year for them to go

Pulling for Braswell this season. That closer was probably one of my favorite things to come out of the entirety of last season and I really wish I could’ve seen it at state.

I was thinking the same thing these two just can’t stay away from each other 😂 they’ve played each other 5 times in the last 6 years at the state championship game

Darn I really like Alexander’s show. Didn’t think they’d make finals or anything but wasn’t expecting last. Also a little surprised about Carroll, North Shore, Cypress Woods and all the Area C bands. I thought at least maybe Forney would be closer to that finals spot especially with their performance time. side tangent but as an alumni I’m a little bummed out about Dville at 32nd. I know scores aren’t everything but dang that one kinda stung a little bit. Regardless, that trumpet screamer and trombone duet is easily my favorite thing Dville has put on the field this decade and those kids should be super proud of the season and show they put on! I think all the right bands are in finals and just goes to show the level of depth here in Texas. And lastly big shoutout to Seven Lakes. Is this their first time in 6A finals? Someone feel free to correct me if it is or isn’t but huge congrats again to them regardless 👏🏽can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow!

I don’t even know where to start 😭

WOOOO AWESOME JOB DVILLE SO PROUD 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I genuinely would love to see Lake Travis again tomorrow bravo! Really liked that ballad and those mellos really showed out in the opener. And that flute solo leading up to the big hit in the closer was such a great moment! Awesome job Lake Travis

Man Marcus that was awesome. That drum line is so crisp from start to finish and that entire woodwind section is so strong ripping out those crazy runs like it’s child’s play. Definitely one of my favorite shows from them and can’t wait to see it again tomorrow

Gonna slightly change what I originally predicted. Give me 1. Hebron 2) Flower Mound 3) Vandegrift 4) Marcus 5) The Woodlands 6) Vista Ridge 7) Coppell 8. Ronald Reagan 9. Pearland 10) Cedar Ridge 11) Bridgeland 12) Round Rock 13) Keller 14) Waxahachie First 4 out in no order Dville (please God let me be wrong) Seven Lakes Westlake Sachse

My directors definitely would’ve laughed at me back then if I asked to wear one at a comp 😂

Let’s not…

Really like how this contest just said “ahh screw it I know area is over but what if we just combine bands from Areas B, C, and J as a little appetizer before state and see what happens 😎”

Man what a season Duncanville is having. As an alumni I’m so happy for them.

Oh oops my mistake you’re right! I think I read Keller Central and accidentally thought both of those schools were there

Dville’s score makes sense as much as I was hoping they could get a 2nd or 3rd place finish. Being tied with Sachse in prelims and Forney not having any outlier scores in finals, that 3-4 range is as reasonable as it gets and spot on with what most people predicted for them. Additionally some might disagree but I thought Dvilles morning run was slightly cleaner and more controlled similar to how Waxahachie had a better run in the morning. As far as Sachse, winning Area just to go first at state is pretty brutal. Wish there was a rule where Area champions have a better shot at more favorable time slots at state. I feel like that’d be a pretty nice perk to being Area champion.

Alright prediction time. Give me 1) Hebron 2) Flower Mound 3) screw it give me Coppell here 4) Marcus 5) Waxahachie 6) Southlake Carroll 7) Dville 8. Keller Central

Ahh I’m wrong Forney actually got 2 1st place votes!

Not a single band got more than 1 1st place in a given category. One of the visual judges almost tanked Dville 😅wild stuff

Big congrats to Forney! First year in 6A and qualifying for state. I had a feeling they’d be alright as those prelim scores seemed like outliers. Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽
