ANOTHER QUESTION, Are we getting 6 states spots/12 finalists??!? there around 31 bands in this area so we can’t afford to lose one band ik it like a very low chance, but it possible

I’m curious to see how Foster will perform in the 2025 season. In the 5A world, they had been crushing it for years — until they moved up to 6A.

with "limited information available" 1. Hebro 2. BridgeLAND 3. Cypress 4. Avon 5. Broken Arrow 6. BOA sheldon also happy early april fools, ok ok just joking around um.... 1. Bridgeland 2. Cy Woods 3. Cy Fair 4. Seven Lakes 5-10 is almost impossible to predict. I think Cinco, Jordan, and JET are possible for that 5th spot, but in area I anything is POSSIBLE.

MAD WORLD!!!!! Epic show reveal can’t wait to see this in person! Finals spots are looking pretty tight. 🤩🤩🏙️

so EXCITED!!!!

Cypress Park and Paetow might also be attending this contest. Their calendar says “Tentative Marching Contest” on Saturday, November 8. I’m just not sure if this will be the only contest happening in the Houston area on that day This contest will likely be competitive from the previous years 😃

In my mind 100% Paetow! They’ve been steadily climbing the ranks, moving from 16th in 2022 to 13th in 2023 and 2024. I’m betting on Cypress Ranch to make it to finals. Fingers crossed that this year we can get 12 finalist and 6 state spots. 🤞 I agree (no disrespect intended.)

I’d say it’s nearly impossible to predict that last 5th spot, but I see where you’re coming from! JET made it to state twice in this area, in 2018 and 2022, and the same applies to Tompkins in 2020 and 2023. Cinco would have qualified for state in 2021 and 2024 if there had been more than 25 bands. After what happened last year, I believe all the bands in this area will step up their shows to achieve their maximum outcome.

location TBA

USBANDS Southeastern Texas Championships November 8 location: TBA - houston area possible bands from their calendar on Nov 8 Foster “USBands Katy?” Cinco Ranch “Marching Contest place holder” Paetow “Tentative Marching Contest” Cypress Park “Tentative US Bands Contest”

The schedule usually comes out sometime in September, and the list of bands typically comes out in the summer, but you can see some of the bands attending on HornRank https://hornrank.proboards.com/thread/1539/regional-shenandoah-tx-sept-2025 AS OF 01/20/2025 Attending*: Cypress Ranch H.S., TX Dawson H.S., TX Friendswood H.S., TX North Shore H.S., TX Shadow Creek H.S., TX

In 2024, Brian Stevens was appointed as the new Assistant director at Cinco. He was previously with the Stephen F. Austin High School Band in Sugar Land, TX, from 1999 to 2012. (Source: Cinco Ranch Band Website) During Stevens' time at SFA "the marching band was a consistent Bands of America (BOA) Regional and Super Regional finalist, winning six Regional Championships. They also attended the BOA Grand National Championships in Indianapolis in 2002, 2004, 2007, and 2010, making the Finals each time. The band program has made appearances at the Texas UIL State Marching Band Championships," (Also, Cinco Ranch Band Website)

I could see Katy potentially missing finals if bands like Cy Ranch, Paetow, Jersey Village, and Langham Creek continue to improve. Keep in mind that Katy and Cy Ranch tied for 10th place in 2024. 🫣

My top 5 favorite shows 1. Blue Devils 2023 "the cut outs" 2. Leander 2016 "The 4th Dimension" - This show is really well-designed 3. Ronald Reagan 2021 "The Path" 4. Broken Arrow 2021 "The Edge of Eternity" 5. Clear Brook 2022 "Paradiso"

I think that’s why Jordan beat 7L at the Katy Invitational. 7L’s drill was too simple and easy.

also thoughts on a 7A? I feel like once a 7A happens (maybe 2026 realignment) this area won’t exist bc most of these bands have a enrollment above 3,000

7) ONLY area I is canceled for the 2025 season

Please let this be a normal area contest! 🤞🏻 (no rain but absolutely need finals)

lol it not even 2025!! I’m guessing cedar park is winning this again?

100% right

CONGRATS TO HEBRO 🎉🥳

Hey yall! If u going to grands nats I’m really curious if your flying or driving to Indianapolis? also good luck to all the Texas bands going to grands nats ❤️
