They also did the director's assistant showcase earlier in the season. Allegedly they aren't doing BOA anymore due to a hard time at some of those competitions.

The back half probably isn't the most accurate, I have poor knowledge of the other frisco bands. Mckinney North BOA Prosper - 76.825 TOT - 14.85 MUS - 15.225 VIS - 30.65 GE MUS - 16.1 GE VIs Prosper Walnut BOA - 75.700 - 15.15 MUS - 15.45 VIS - 29.10 GE MUS - 16.0 GE VIS 1st Frisco Wakeland (Sweep) 2nd Frisco Lone Star - Could have a run at 1st given a wakeland stumble 3rd McKinney North (tie) 3rd Prosper Walnut (tie) 5th Frisco Reedy* (All interchangeable) 6th Argyle* 7th Frisco Emerson* 8th Frisco Lebanon Trail 9th Lewisville The Colony 10th Frisco Independence I think these placements could very well be what ends up happening later this month but with this area being so rich in talent it’s very difficult to know. I’m sure Argyle and Lebanon Trail are going to focus a large amounts of time on cleaning and it’ll come down to what the other bands do to compete with that. We’re reaching the part in the season where there’s only so much that can be fixed and changed so the bands starting late might be a little too late. Overall I’m so hyped to watch these bands and it’s sure to be salty! BassoonSOLO5456 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a student from Heritage, our band director talked to their band directors and the reason was just to give the kids the weekend off so that they could catch up on some well needed rest and other things so they could put their all into the next two weeks.

It could also be the fact that their percussion ensemble is traveling to Midwest this year so they decided to cut some costs by not doing as many contests.

Popular Post Mike McBandiel Posted Wednesday at 02:58 AM Author Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 02:58 AM Here are predictions based on results and trends: 1. Wakeland (one of the best bands in the country and have a high chance of medaling at state again this year) 2. Lone Star (having their best year yet and could honestly win here too) 3–9 can literally be anyone but here is what I think will happen 3. Argyle (might be a little bit high but their band has definitely sized up a lot and they’re coming in seeking revenge from what happened here last year, they will have to put their best performance forward with this area being the way it is but can for sure do it, after being decently close to making finals at BOA Bedford and having a good showing in the Melissa competition, they will definitely have a shot at making state) 4. Lebanon Trail (they were a state finalist last year after making through a crazy area competition last year, they’re show is really good this year and is definitely state finalist capable once again this year, it will be hard to recap with this competition shaping up to be even crazier this year, but I think that they will come in clutch like last year and will breakthrough to state once again) 5. Reedy (definitely one of the best bands, if not, the best band that Reedy has ever had and we’ll see if they can make state for the 1st time in school history, they will have to recap on their momentum from Wylie and breakthrough to get into the state championship, it will be close, but can definitely do it) 6. McKinney North (might be kind of low but can definitely medal here at this competition, their show is very similar to last year’s, which ended up being very successful by making state last year, and we’ll see how they can potentially recap on their state appearance from last year, with the area being even crazier this year, I have a feeling that they might end up here, but we’ll what they can do this year) 7. Walnut Grove (definitely a band that has taking a big step up this year with an impressive showing at McKinney and BOA Prosper and will for sure be in that mix to make state, they will have to put their best performance forward, but are definitely capable of breaking through, they may be new, but they are rising very quickly) 8. Emerson (very good show for Emerson this year and could honestly be in that mix to make state as well, similar to Walnut Grove, they are on the rise despite being a new school, but after very good showings at Birdville and McKinney, they will be a band to watch out for) 9. The Colony (after winning Don Hanna once again, they will definitely be a contender as well to make state, it will depend on if they can hang on with these rising bands and if they can breakthrough, they are for sure capable of it) 10. Independence (after not making finals last year, I think that Independence will find their way back into finals, I think that it will come down to them and the other Frisco bands to fight for that last spot) This area is definitely one of the hardest to predict and we’ll see what will happen. This is starting to remind me of 6A Area D where there are like 7-9 bands that have potential to make state finals, but only a few will get in. I can’t wait to see how this area shapes out in a few weeks. DumbBandLoser, Tubalord11, tubaplayer12 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Independence/Lovejoy/Mellisa/Heritage/Memorial I'm surprised that both of you have LT placing above reedy. LT had tied with Reedy at WMI only for prelims; Reedy beat them by a decent sum of points for finals. I have Reedy going from 3rd through 6th, but yet again, this is anyone's game.

I'm just basing it off how Lebanon tends to do come area. in 2019, they were 4th at WMI, only to win area. In 2021, they were 5th at WMI, and then made state, and in 2023, were 4th, only to go on to make state finals. They are always super clean and locked in come area, which is why I don't really use past competitions to must, especially since WMI will have been 3 weeks before this comp, but like you said, anything's is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really use Boa to much when predicting area. It’s completely different scoring systems. They aren’t necessary looking for the same things. Of course the music and visual judges is a little bit closer, but it’s definitely not as specific as BOA and the UIL judges have more responsibilities since the art split up into individual and ensemble captions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphkin Posted yesterday at 01:06 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:06 AM However, to be honest, I don't believe Reedy has ever beat LT at WMI in the past (idk), so marchingband2 could be onto something about Reedy upping their game compared to previous years.

When In prelims of Birdville they beat Emerson by 19 points and only lost to them by 3 in finals? BassoonSOLO5456 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbas Posted yesterday at 01:35 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:35 AM I will say this, LT always cleans up a LOT before Area comes around, but it will be interesting to see how area judges react to Reedy's show this year. Argyle also has top 5 potential. BassoonSOLO5456 and Tubalord11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
