Just from previous years Red Oak has always done fairly  well. I personally haven’t seen their program this year but from what I have seen I might be jumping my prediction on them. HP just isn’t doing as good as they use to in previous years. 

Red oak is not doing as well as other years either

Just saw the points on the latest competition with Kaufman, they were 2.3 off from beating Frisco Memorial. Wow, and the beat Frisco independent, by a good solid amount too, I can see Kaufman getting 1st or 2nd in area

1. North Mesquite

2. Highland Park

3. Kaufman

4. Poteet

5. West Mesquite

6. Lakeview Centennial

Id say HP is more in the 4th-6th range. Got beat by Poteet and Kaufman yesterday, and north has a really strong show.  If they’re taking 3 to state it’ll probably be them, with HP, WM, Red Oak and LC battling to get in

Yeah.  I think there’s an argument that there’s a battle for both the 3rd and 4th spots between 5 bands.  I appreciate the unexpected competitiveness of this area this year.

In my opinion, if LC is running for it then they really have to fight for their spot

I kind of agree with this but I also think highland park could possibly make state

Definitely possible, just with their current trends, I don't think it's gonna be as easy for them to, but if they bring it anything's possible

I completely agree with you, top 3 are pretty accurate though, and bottom 2 are debatable. I really want to see how this competition is going play out

I believe they definitely have a chance of making state maybe just maybe top 3  but I think this season has been really interesting for them. A lot of these competitions have been a little shocking ngl…

imo, LC is going to have to really out perform the rest of the competition from a cleanliness and sound stand point because the product they have compared to everyone else is really lacking from what I've seen. Their show last year was much better designed then this year

I totally get that, I belive their show is definitely a show with potential so in this  last week of rehearsal they really have to push through

So how does everyone feel about this area after this weekend? I saw scores for the USBands Burleson regional where Kaufman got 2nd, Poteet got 3rd, and HP got 7th. I saw RO got 1st at the Celina marching contest as well and I heard LC and WM were at Royce City but Im not sure how they did, any thoughts?

So for what i know at royse city WM made finals and they only took 5 bands to finals and WM was 1st in all 5a bands and LC didn’t make finals 

[Hottogo01]

So who do you think will make finals in this Area? I know for a fact North M, Kaufman, Poteet, will make finals. Everyone give my your list of your top 10 I am interested to see your opinion

I think west mesquite and LC will definitely be fighting for that spot to state if they do take 5 bands because even though Lc didn’t make finals they made 6th place and we’re still allowed to do an exhibition performance while west made 5th place. Again I believe both are really great bands and I wish them the best of luck at area.

Imo LC, west, Texas and honestly I really do believe south can maybe sneak in a spot for finals.

We should probably expect only 3 spots for state and would be lucky to get 4.  5 is just out of the realm of possibility because a lot of bands in this area from DISD historically get 2s (even 3s) at region.

Right, knowing that I wonder who will make state, I have my bets on Kaufman making it to top 3 and making state

I honestly think it’s going to be really tight. I think North and Kaufman (even though I’m a Kaufman hater bc of the subject matter of their show) will make it.  That third spot is a toss up; It can be WM, LC, Poteet or HP.  I feel insane to not put Poteet as a shoe in but they are just nowhere near clean and their competition results reflect that (especially given the rumor that WM ranked higher at MMF). 
 

Something no one has brought up is the fact that all these schools have a fall break this week—I wonder if that will stall progress and meaningfully effect outcomes at Area.

 

An early takeaway from this season is that this Area actually is competitive.  Additionally, it’s notable how West Mesquite has improved so much that they are (allegedly) beating Poteet, and winning competitions and percussion contests, and in consideration by people in this forum for state.  Forney’s departure in fact did not leave a void for interest in this Area.
