They placed 2nd at the USBands Dallas Regional last night beating Byron Nelson and Richland. Also, Garland and Rowlett look to be area finalists as they both made finals here and beat bands like Lakeview and Lovejoy. Area C is no longer the "easiest area" anymore. Expand I 100% agree! Garland and Rowlett seem to have improved a ton since former years and I'm very excited to see where they end up. I heard Garland and Sachse are going to BOA Waco next week so it'll be interesting to see where they end up. If Garland can beat Sachse I can see them as Area Finalists and maybe even make State.

Expand There are a ton of bands going from area C, Richardson, Garland, Sachse, and Irving are all going, according to the schedule, cant wait to see how it goes. The area C shakeup is honestly making it so hard to judge who makes finals. we will have to wait for Waco to see how garland and Richardson do against Sachse, but I really hope these underdog schools do great. This area is turning out to be much more competitive than I initially thought it would be. Tubalord11 1 Quote
Tubalord11 Posted October 8, 2024 Posted October 8, 2024 I expect Sachse to do very well here. If they continue of last weekend, could see them top 3 at Birdville in very possibly make finals at boa! They have an amazing show! Lots of talent in this area! Quote

Expand You are right about that. I think if you were to say that last year, I would've thought that was just a joke and would've laughed my butt off. But this year, honestly anything can happen at this point. Besides from Waxahachie and Forney, nobody's safe. Quote

Besides from Waxahachie and Forney, nobody's safe. Expand Not even sure those two are “safe”. They seem to get the nod right now but I think come Nov 2, there are 6-8 bands that can make a claim to state with 2 solid marches. This means 4 great bands are going to stay home. I’m not sure anyone is “safe” based on first couple weekends of October Quote
JFNDOWBFAN Posted October 9, 2024 Posted October 9, 2024 Curious, how are judges picked for actual UIL Events? Are you allowed to judge Region/Area contest if you have affiliation to a district participating or can you only judge other Region/Areas? Quote

Expand I believe it is similar to all region where there is a rotation of judges. At least that's how it was when I was in school. My percussion director would always talk about how our judge was his judge in high school and stuff. JFNDOWBFAN 1 Quote

BoneGuy4 Posted October 9, 2024 Posted October 9, 2024 Anyone know where the Mesquite schools placed in all this? I know they were just exhibitions but they still got scored. Quote

JFNDOWBFAN Posted October 13, 2024 Posted October 13, 2024 Area C is looking stacked. Almost like the bands are reenergized! ALL of these bands have reason to believe… Wax Forney North Forney JJP Berkner D-Ville Sach Rockwall Garland Heath That’s just the first 10 that come to mind. How the seasons has gone thus far, I don’t see “locks”. Any given Saturday! BandNerd07 and melloww 2 Quote

bringthetreble Posted October 14, 2024 Posted October 14, 2024 What do you guys think of North Forney? They're really improving this year compared to last! Yesterday they got 1st at the Royse city marching classic, and 2nd at US Bands! I think they could be strong contenders in Area C.. as well as Rowlett and ofc Garland + Sachse... JFNDOWBFAN 1 Quote
