Oh the good old days... I dont think anything will beat that lineup in 2000. All 8 bands were the best I've ever seen. I wish Westfield made finals so I could watch their 2000 show again, I wish someoen would put it on youtube!
Placement in area means nothing at state. Area C this year was Rowlett, Berkner, Duncanville, Coppell. Rowlett didnt make finals and Coppell and Duncanville did better than Berkner at state. Its different judges, different time, different stage.
Bell has made top 2 for 10 years (6 times) not 12. 2002 was an all DFW too, and 2000 and 2004 were off by 1 each.
Also this year DFW bands had 1,2,3,5,6,8 60%
Good Job to all bands.
Rowlett played nice and marched well, I just didnt care for it as a person in the stand. Judges perspective its good. Im not into carnival music.
Berkner played and marched well. I cant stop humming the music, it gets stuck in your head!
Coppell and Duncanville were the same as they always are. Pretty boring, but great players and marchers.
Sachse should not play christmas music lol
Funny how Churchills marching scores saved thier butt in prelims.. and they were dead last in finals.. hmm.
Sad to hear berkner at 11th place... that place always sucks
Can I just say something to cheer everyone up? look at coppell.. 3rd in the state. Im glad they advanced, what a great way to show off a band program. Now arent you happy they got to go vs. the whole 'they broke the rules'
crazyjake just shut up... stop being bitter. Maybe if rowlett wouldnt have had an ego thinking they would get first again in finals they might have made state.
you cant blame it all on a little sound board or somehting done by the director. Would you rather see somehting bad happen with the sound board and the crowd LAUGH at all the kids who put in all the EFFORT and HARD WORK all season? No... he simply fixed the issue and was done.
Its not all about winning, and it would show more class to Rowlett if you just shut up and let it be. You cant change peoples minds and its done. its over... rowlett will try again in 2 years
Watch a few of this years shows from the top contenders and you decide who goes to State:
Berkner
Coppell
Duncanville - No video found
Lake Highlands - No video found
Rowlett http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOfeDOKv9xA
Sachse
That is so F'ed up to stick Area C with Region 4 who has NO 5A bands... and Region 20 with all the sucky Dallas schools.
well then,
1. Duncanville
2. Berkner
3. Coppell
A-Rowlett
Easily can take any of the spots above: Lake Highlands or Sachse
