None of this is available for this area yet. No clue why. 

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.

AREA PRIDECTIONS IN NO ORDER
tickets to state 
Celina-  Judges like them alot for some reason.personaly think some of the dog fight schools have better shows.
Farmersville- Great show, great soloist, wouldnt be suprised if first
sulphur springs-same as farmersville
lumberton - Look and sound like a 6a, could get first
canton-very good band and can get the job done
THE DOG FIGHT FOR 6,7
Van alstyne/paris/bridge city- needs slight develoupment but can very well get that spot
pine tree- Needs much improment from last i saw, but they know what 5a state is
sunnyvale- Beat Van alstyne in area last year almost beat farmersville
AREA FINALISTS-great bands but either ok music or ok marching but can get into finals.
Community

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.

Do we think that any of the performance times will affect any band/results?

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.

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.

Yes they did win Area C last year over Sulphur Springs.

No they are not stronger than the last 3 years.

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