UIL 5A Area B 2024

[RhythmicTuba]

Anyone else getting tired of people making predictions without even seeing the show they're predicting for? I'm seeing it a lot on this thread and am just confused as to why people think it's gonna be a worthwhile prediction if they're just basing it off of previous years.

How are you going to place lone star above wakeland when wakeland got second at boa and lone star got 11th? Emerson is good but not 4/5th good. Reedy should be up higher too. Just feedback❤️

Agreed man these are not the most accurate imo

It is but also sometimes it’s hard to find some of these shows like reedy. I entered my prediction based of only what I heard because I haven’t been able to find a video of them

[marchingband2]

I am a reedy student. Make sure to watch us at 1 pm. We will be great. Go reedy.

Has anyone seen heritage’s show? I heard they added more but I can’t seem to find any videos online.

Their show is very entertaining but I don't fully understand the concept. They used their train props from last year but reworked them, making them neon and very colorful. Their music is very fun but I definitely enjoyed last year's show more.

I do see them improving in technique this year, however, I don't see them making finals.

my personal rankings are 

1.reedy

2.reedy

3.reedy

4.wakeland

5.lonestar

6.heritage

7.reedy

8.reedy

9.mikinney north

10. frisco

I feel that this ranking is a very fair ranking that is totally possible given the certain circumstances of the reedy show.

that's not happening lol reedy I haven't seen them but heard they are good but I don't think they are beating lone star and wakeland or lt lol

Yeah if it was last year then that can be acceptable but like previous years before that I can't understand that but I mean I have watched some shows in this area but idk.

[BassoonSOLO5456]

Looks like Reedystudent123 and marchingband2 have different opinions of their own band.

[notenthused1]

predictions: ( I actually watched all the shows except for the colony)

1st: wakeland

2nd: lone star

3rd: argyle

4th: lebanon trail

5th: McKinney north 

6th: Walnut Grove/Reedy

7th: Reedy/Walnut Grove

8th: Memorial/Emerson

9th: Emerson/Memorial

10th: The Colony? not sure about them yet but wouldnt be surprised if they were also in the 6-9 range

too many good bands in this area! all these bands would probably be state finalists in any other area lmao 

*anybody from 5-10 is pretty interchangeable and I feel like smaller schools like memorial and grove definitely have the possibility to move up

Yea, I heard reedy was doing really well this year. Saw them at Wylie and their individual marching was ok but wow was the music amazing. I saw them again at the region, and I think they cleaned up well and could possibly be 3rd and make school history this year. Somewhat musically on par with Lone Star if I do say so myself. They still go a week to work their way up some more.

I third this statement. When I was at the Golden Triangle Marching Contest, I got a chance to see Reedy's marching show, and it was really amazing!

[bassclarinetplayer]

I have somewhat of a prediction of the top 5 bands that I think in this area that will go state (in my opinion from seeing some performances and my thinking about it, so please don't roast me for this list)

But my list is this (also, some of these shows I have not seen, I'm just going from this from what I think)
 

1. Walnut Grove (since they advanced to state last year in 5A, I think they may do it again)
2. Argyle
3. Reedy
4. Wakeland
and 5. Emerson

Have you seen a video of Wakeland or seen them in previous years? As a Reedy student, I think they're gonna get first realistically and Lone Star will most definitely get second...

I have not seen Wakeland's show at all, I was just putting them there for what I think that list would be.

Only 4 bands in this area will go to state. One for every five bands competing.

Yeah sorry but this is wild lol, no worries though 

Walnut Grove didn't make state last year, just an fyi

Also, Wakeland and Lonestar will almost 100% be 1 and 2, and then anything else is possible. Wakeland finished 3rd at state last year and LS 7th

Wait, I'm trying to remember, I think it was wakeland last year that was announced for state, I'm trying to remember, so I'm sorry

Sorry about that, but it was my own list, but if it makes it any better, Lone Star is like an honorable mention if that helps

I think reedystudent123 was messing around when he called us bad, from personal knowledge he really wants us to make state. I need to talk to him about deleting his comment calling us "buns"
