Holy cow Grove City soloists!

Thanks for posting! its part of the fun of going to a contest!

none yet

Does anyone know if the recaps will be released? They usually are for this contest.

Any results? nothing on the website

I think given the difficulty of their book, I thought Reagan had tons of difficulty. These days its more than just marching. There is tons of body movement while playing.

North Shore, Oak Ridge, and Bwood will likely medal here.

Anyone have a schedule for finals?

Surprised about Seven Lakes. Happy for Bwood, considering they lost an entire week of rehearsals.

I’m not a fan of this stadium either.

Of all the videos I’ve seen, Clear Brook is really strong, with great everything! The other usual strong programs (Pearland, CyFair, JET, Dawson) seems to be in a similar place. I feel like I’ve seen stronger years from them all recently. But I know it’s still super early. Haven’t seen SL, and only a very early video of SFA on Texan live. I’m always amazed at how much can happen in the last week before a contest. It’s anybodys game! I didn’t comment on the Woodlands, Reagan, or Westlake, because they are locks.

I think Brazoswood is planning to attend.

Im pretty sure they are AAAA, but I could be wrong. Their 9-12 enrollment is around 2400, but I couldn't find actual numbers for 10-12. Definitely on the small side of AAAA. They missed an entire week of rehearsals because of the storm, but they have a strong program, Im hoping they make finals. Ive seen their show, and if they can get the second half stronger, they will do well.

Based on seeing as many videos as I can find of competing bands, I’d say that the Houston bands seem to be a bit behind the general polish I saw from the Austin and SA bands. I’m attributing this to the tropical storm. I’m sure that they will be pushing hard this week. I’m excited to see if we have some shake ups like Austin saw!

Will be interesting to see how the tropical storm impacts the Houston area bands. Some areas were much harder hit than others. It caused Brazoswood to pull out of BOA McAllen.

Hornrank motioned that Churchill has had leadership changes, and they seem to predict a placement below top three. Whats the scoop here? They have been a strong program for so long, its hard to imagine them not medaling at this event.

I saw them at Conroe, and they were very good. I heard they have the director from Cy-Falls.

Who's participating in this contest?

Is there a list of participating bands yet? its less than two weeks away!

WOW! Timber Creek! Clean, Creative, Amazing!

Almost all of these bands, with the exception of Bowie, Churchill, and Vandegrift have been in Grand Nats finals in recent years. Very tough competition.

anyone have a list of participating bands yet?

2016 top 10 Houston Bands at UIL 6A and placements 1 Woodlands 11 North Shore 18 Stephen F Austin 19 Brazoswood 20 Cy-fair 23 Friendswood 25 Cy-Falls 29Dawson 30 Clements 32 Spring 2016 top 10 Houston bands at Conroe BOA and placements 3 Woodlands 6 College Park 7 Taylor 9 Oak Ridge 9 Pearland 10 Cy Fair 12 Brazoswood 13 Klein Oak 14 Seven Lakes 15 Langham Creek

you are correct! i keep confusing the areas lol.

SFA, Clements, North Shore,Brazoswood, CyFair, CyFalls, JET, Friendswood would be my pick. According to BOA Conroe results 8th place should be Klein Oak, or maybe Clear Brook. Lots of good bands. Clear Brook, Clements, and North Shore had very close scores at Lone Star.
