So we need one more band to get a 1 to have a guarantee of 7 going to state

Area C could be similar to Area D. They draw order after they perform at Region. I know they said next year that will change and they will do a randomized generated pre-draw before the season even starts. 5As & 6As are doing that this year from what I have heard.

do we have a schedule yet?

I am admittedly biased because my child marches for Community HS, but i feel like their show has the potential to fight it out for 5/6/7. Finished ahead of Pine Tree at Sounds of Fall this season and neck and neck with Van Alstyne twice. We haven't gone head to head with Paris, Bridge City, or Sunnyvale yet this year.

I’m worried that those earlier bands will get put down because of how early they go in the day

I think the updated scoring sheets and rubrics do help for more consistent numbers throughout the day.

1. no I am not from lumberton, but you cant lie they are big for a 4a

2. North Lamar was meant to be in the dog fight category with van alstyne/Paris/bridge city

I put community there because I feel like there is still a major gap between them and van alstyne from what I've seen.i will say that placement at the sounds of fall over pine tree is very impressive giving the fact that pine tree just moved down to 4a and made the 5a smbc last year.

It's super interesting seeing the predictions from early on in the season comoared to now. Before, Celina was unanimously agreed to be 1st, but now it seems that they are favored second with either Sulphur Springs or Farmersville taking the first place spot. North Lamar and Paris were also placed pretty high as the season started but have seemed to settle at the lower spots as area approaches. Unlike other years, I haven't noticed Canton be mentioned a lot where as last year I would pretty much see their name in every predictions post. It seems this season has really mixed up compared to previous years and those bands that used to be in thw shadows of other programs are coming into the spotlight with something to show.

Having seen both bands a few times, North Lamar is significantly above Paris. I think they have a shot at redeeming themselves a bit this year. It’s the strongest NL band I’ve seen in the past few years. Nowhere near 2010s caliber but so much better than the last few years. 
 

Paris has a cute show. I love the Paris, Texas Eiffel Tower. I do not know if it is state level but with the number of bands advancing from this region they might have a chance.

Is NL stronger than last year? Weren’t they the area C winner and a state finalist last year? If that’s true then they could be real good this year. Last time I saw them there show was unfinished so it’s hard to say.

Saw the full show on Friday and feel like it is coming together much better than previous years, especially two years ago.
