They had a great finish to their season and if they can build off that they could be top 5 here Quote
CosmicLimbo Posted March 26, 2024 Posted March 26, 2024 As a Dville alumni, it’s nice to see them in a different setting from the usual bloodbath that is Area B but weirdly enough, I’m gonna miss it a little bit. When I saw the change, I nearly fainted because I thought they’d be going against the LISD trio before realizing they had also been moved into a new area 😂 Tubalord11 1 Quote

In total, there are 26 bands meaning that at most, 5 bands can advance to state from this area Expand It's also worth noting that De Soto, Lakeview Centennial, Naaman Forest, and South Garland are all opting up from 5A, but I don't believe that all of the 30 schools will even send a band to UIL region or that they'll all get 1s, so it seems likely for 4 or 5 to state from this area. It looks like this area will be a champion toss-up between Forney and Waxahachie, with Rockwall, Duncanville, Sachse, Lakeview Centennial, and each of the RISD schools all vying for state spots, and there won't be a lot of those. These revamped B, C, and J areas are super tough! Tubalord11 and CosmicLimbo 2 Quote

Those schools are effectively 5A by enrollment, but have made the decision to move up to 6A for UIL activities. CosmicLimbo 1 Quote
TrumpetDude4 Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 Very Early Predictions: 1. Waxahachie 2. Forney 3. Rockwall 4. Berkner 5. Lake Highlands 6. Duncanville 7. JJ Pearce 8. Royse City 9. Richardson 10. Sachse Very bold prediction. I think Rockwall has a good chance at top 3. I also think Berkner can make state twice if they have a good program. Royse City making top 8 is probably not my best idea, but I think Royse City, North Forney, and Heath have a good chance of making at least top 10. It is still very early so I based it off of last season. So please don’t go crazy on me. Quote
Mello10273 Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 My current (very early) predictions: Waxahachie Forney berkner/rockwall/Dville berkner/rockwall (this 5th spot could be a toss up depending on how Pearce or richardson’s seasons could go) Lake Highlands/dville lake highlands/pearce Richardson/pearce richardson/pearce Royse city sachse I have a feeling that Duncanville could either have a great season or a bit of a less great season so that’s why I gave it such a gap Richardson from what I’ve learned is stepping up their program again this year to an even higher level, now having a non varsity show and only marching some marchers (still the majority of course, probably 80/90% from my best guess), this is why I placed them above Royce city of course the season hasn’t even started so this could change Quote
loltpt Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 My top 5 predictions are probably 1. Forney 2. Waxahachie 3/4. Duncanville/Rockwall 5. Berkner ChristopherRoden and Tubalord11 2 Quote
Mello10273 Posted August 14, 2024 Posted August 14, 2024 So it’s been a while and I’ve heard some stuff about staff changes in a few schools so new updated ranking as of August (not including rockwall because I’ve not seen them enough to give a proper ranking, but from what I’ve seen they could be in that iffy position of top 4-6) 1: Waxahachie 2/3: Forney/Berkner (though forney with the move up to 6a could have a hard time, I doubt it) 4: Duncanville (maybe, I could see them dropping to 6th if some schools have exceptional seasons, but it’s too early to tell) 5:Richardson or Lake highlands Again I do not know where to put rockwall but they could cook for all I know. Also, I didn’t put Pearce in because they could literally be anywhere from top 5-10 Honestly this whole area is a pretty big toss up, especially from 5th-10th place, and again anything could change when the season begins. Quote
BoneGuy4 Posted August 18, 2024 Posted August 18, 2024 I would agree with that. I think rockwall could definitely be in 2-4th place. I’m not sure how Forney will do going from 5a to 6a. Quote

I’m not sure how Forney will do going from 5a to 6a. Expand Forney should “easily” make state from here. They’ve been on the level of the top 6A bands here like Waxahachie and D-Ville for a couple seasons now and could honestly win the whole thing. Quote

Expand Yeah, I could totally see that based on how good last years show was. Though I am curious where D-ville goes after not making state last year. Quote
BandNerd07 Posted August 19, 2024 Author Posted August 19, 2024 Giving it a shot for my predictions of every band in this area: 1. Waxahachie 2. Forney 3. Duncanville 4. Berkner 5. Rockwall 6. Sachse 7. Lake Highlands 8. JJ Pearce 9. Royse City 10. Richardson 11. Rockwall Heath 12. Nimitz 13. Tyler Legacy 14. Garland 15. North Forney 16. John Horn 17. Irving 18. Rowlett 19. North Garland 20. Mesquite 21. MacArthur 22. Skyline (probably won't advance) 23. Lancaster (probably won't advance) Tubalord11 1 Quote

BoneGuy4 Posted August 19, 2024 Posted August 19, 2024 Also 20 of the 24 bands consistently get 1’s at the region contest. So if all goes right there should be 4 advancing to the state contest. Quote
TrenBS Posted August 19, 2024 Posted August 19, 2024 Will throw out a prediction, although Im not 100% on this areas bands: 1. Waxahachie 2. Forney 3. Duncanville 4. Sachse 5. Berkner 6. Rockwall 7. Lake Highlands 8. J.J. Pearce 9. Richardson 10. Royce City Quote

Also they do get 1's every year so that'll likely be the case for this year as well. Quote
SaxSoldier Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 super confused about the “d-ville over berkner” lineup in a lot of predictions. berkner seems to finally be bouncing back after covid and last year placed higher than duncan at boa and area. i’d imagine both making state but I see berkner over d-vile and potentially rockwall too Quote

Thats a really good point, I think it will definitely be a battle between Rockwall, Berkner, and Duncanville this season. JFNDOWBFAN 1 Quote
