Also I believe Panther Creek broke the Lake Ridge 2013 and Lake Belton 2021 Record on making State Finals in only their 2nd year in existence. Panther Creek did that and then on top of that, got a silver medal.

The record isn’t broken, but it’s now a 3 way tie! They do however have the highest placement out of all of them by far!

I realized that now! my bad lol

I meant to say it was now tied but with a higher placement.

Not directly related to state, but here are some fun stats from Grand Nats that I found out. Some were already made known about and some I had to do some digging.
 

• Since 2019, there has been a new champion every year. (Vandegrift, Broken Arrow, Carmel, Avon)
• Bentonville became the first band from Arkansas to make finals at Grand Nationals. They also broke 90 for the first time at a BOA competition.
• Hebron has won the music caption and gotten 3rd place at every Grand Nationals they have attended. (2015, 2019, 2023) They also achieved the highest overall music score in BOA history. (19.8 in finals)
• Avon won their first Eagle since 2010, despite being on every podium since 2007. They were also the only band to improve their score from semis to finals.
• This was the first time since 2006 that there was a different winner in prelims, semifinals, and finals competition. (2023: Hebron, Carmel, Avon. 2006: LD Bell, The Woodlands, Broken Arrow)
• 2023 was just the second time at Grand Nats (2021) and 4th time ever at a BOA event (2017 and 2022 SA SR) that all finalist bands received a score of 90 or higher to qualify for finals.
• 2023 was also the second year ever (2019) in which the winner of Grand Nats failed to earn a higher score than the winner of the San Antonio Super. (2023: 97.45 to 97.6, 2019: 97.15 to 97.3)
• All 3 Texas bands who were the first out of finals are from Area D.

[cheeto2401]

Robinson (4A) who placed 25th this season in prelims, has more state championships than Vandegrift (6A) and Hebron (6A) combined

 

Only 64 schools in Texas have won a State Championship as of 2021

 

Sundown (2A) has the most State appearances with 27 prelims appearances, 25 finals appearances, and 7 state championships

 

Argyle (4A in 2021, 5A in 2022 and 2023) has had the most state championships with 8, but now being moved to 5A, they didn't even make the state, and was one place from making state

 

Celina (4A) went from not making state at all, to winning the state championship back to back.

on the 1st one, I haven't confirmed the number of wins on vandergrift and hebron, but i think they have 4 combined

Yup, looks like it's 3 for Vandy and 1 for Hebron.

IF this wiki article is correct--  It's an interesting view of the Texas state champs in all classifications over the years.

also want to add one more thing 

 

Georgetown (5A, but referring to the 4A times) Had 6 state champion wins in a Row from 1980-1985

It was actually the third time in Grand Nats history that the top 12 all broke 90 in semifinals. The first time it happened was in 2007.

so I had to make a correction here. Turns out, Pflugerville's highest placement was in 2000, which was 15th place. So they haven't broken it yet.

no, heres a list of bands that 3 peated state championships before celina (regardless of class currently, but im looking at 4A archives)

- Canton
- Dickinson
- Georgetown

this marks celina being the 4th ever 4A band in history to 3-peat
