Yes, I know in 15,17 and 19, they didn't win prelims, but Rouse last year has been the closest since Covid, and while they are IMO the band to do it, I just don't see it happening. We know what CP does every year when it comes finals, and NOBODY in the nation can do it like they do. The only possible way I see it happening soon is if they were to somehow get a 2 at region, which just won't happen. From what I know and have heard CP is planning something for the end of their show for state... if look at their show you can see areas where they are still building their drill... or sand bagging till state... they have something up their sleeves... Tubalord11 and ChristopherRoden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGFISD99 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 If we take a look at CP Rouse and Wakeland... they have more drill than Lone Star... that is what takes you from top 3 to 4th to 10th..... Being an old timer band member it's always been about who has the best technique marching, floating the forms and straight lines and diagnels ...... and the bands I see accomplishing these things are those 3 bands... Lone Star is almost there... they just need do a little more marching technique training and they'll be seriously taken at State Uil and BOA'S.. astronautika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumbBandLoser Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I don't think Lone Star needs more movement and drill necessarily, but rather that they just need to execute what they have better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Cedar Park is a masterclass in turning it up when they have to. I have no real doubt they’re going to take the 5A title again this year. It’s not a culture you can build overnight. Bandmanio and Tubalord11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gregorydf01 Posted Sunday at 05:26 PM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 05:26 PM It's going to be a good one to watch.  Cedar Park and Rouse are both great bands with very good shows this year. Lost is correct in that Cedar Park has a long consistent history of cleaning, performing and stepping it up at the end of the season.  However, I can see Rouse doing well with that this year also.  I would say betting odds are even money at this point (disclaimer: I am not betting or know of any betting, just a turn of phrase).  Bandmanio, ElectricTuba and trumpetfunny 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpetfunny Posted Monday at 12:20 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:20 AM I wouldn’t count Wakeland out of gold just yet considering they lost to Marcus by 0.05 at BOA Prosper… lost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGFISD99 Posted Monday at 04:29 AM Share Posted Monday at 04:29 AM CP is going to do win again in my opinion.... From what I'm being told they are working on things for state to surprise everyone at prelims and finals.... Wakeland has a great chance to medal but it won't be for first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
