Argyle didn't make state last year, getting 5th at area B. Not sure if that's what your trying to say lol, just super confused. However, Argyle is getting really good, really fast.

Rouse and CP were both insane!! Rouse could win this thing after that run 🤷

agreed. super different in prelims and lots of disparities, however in finals most of the judging seemed to be closer lol

i’m not quite surprised that 1-5 was close as we kinda all knew the big 5 but i was really surprised by reedy, liberty and memorial! reedy had an amazing show and they have an amazing brass! i knew they were good at wmi but they continued getting better. liberty was probably the school no one expected. i definitely didn’t. really cool show idea and performed very nicely. memorial was insanely clean visually. for such a small band program (maybe one of the smallest in this area) they’ve been good making finals 3 years in a row. excited to see what they have in store for the future as their program grows! *also super surprised about emerson and the colony with no finals, however judging is subjective and nothing they can do now. but amazing shows for emerson and the colony, as well as every band in this area putting in strong work this season, everyone is getting so good!

Yeah i wanna see how close it was from 3-9

Memorial and Emerson did tie in scores, but Memorial had the majority higher judge placement compared to Emerson, giving them 7th. I have a feeling it’ll be close with them and Emerson again this year!

predictions: ( I actually watched all the shows except for the colony) 1st: wakeland 2nd: lone star 3rd: argyle 4th: lebanon trail 5th: McKinney north 6th: Walnut Grove/Reedy 7th: Reedy/Walnut Grove 8th: Memorial/Emerson 9th: Emerson/Memorial 10th: The Colony? not sure about them yet but wouldnt be surprised if they were also in the 6-9 range too many good bands in this area! all these bands would probably be state finalists in any other area lmao *anybody from 5-10 is pretty interchangeable and I feel like smaller schools like memorial and grove definitely have the possibility to move up
