For 4A, I think it's between Dripping Springs and Waxahachie.

Just putting this up here. It's the 4A state honor band qualifiers (so far): Pearce Wylie Dripping Springs Hendrickson Victoria East Roma Creekview Liberty Still waiting on areas B, D, and F.

Great research -- "I guess band really IS better in Texas!", etc., etc.

So, is Cedar Park the only school in Leander ISD to be 4A? I ask because I'm interested in which schools will be in the 4A track for TMEA All-State Area D.

Does anyone know when MFA Fan Network will have the videos from Grand Nats available for VOD?

...would you care to explain, or are you just trying to antagonize and/or disrespect people? Yes, you're entitled to your own opinion, but why be rude about it?

I completely agree! I've long since stopped worrying about which element (music or visual) is "more important." I think there's more value in just seeing/hearing each show as a stand-alone work of art. Some shows focus more on one element -- that doesn't make the show "bad" or "lacking." And it certainly doesn't degrade an entire program because of it, as so many people seem to believe.

In order: Hebron Marcus Duncanville

I loved reading this -- great writing, great message! ^^ This, however is a little scary. I hope you were using the Buddy Rich tapes as a loose comparison. I've heard the tapes... not high school appropriate, to say the least!

+1

I wonder how Marcus would have placed in Grand Nats had they gone this year...

Definitely. I think we'll see Waxahachie rounding out the top five at state next year -- 3rd through 5th. Somewhere in that area.

FAIL.
