Sousaphone Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 20 minutes ago, cheeto2401 said: tbh, these new area changed and there only being 5 bands going to state makes this so much more intresting, because last year people in area d aren't having 12 area finalists and 6 state appearances, its now 10 area finalists and 5 state appearances, and panther creek taking the 1st spot guaranteed (china spring not mentioned because i feel like some people may rise to their level), making it only 4, this 99% makes the predictions for this area very hard because you don't know what to expect, especially with 2 WEEKS of show cleaning, we may have some tough competition setting panther creek aside, theres also a possibility that bands may end up beating panther creek, but thats just a small chance. i've also seen some people place kennedale above bands who beat them in area d last year? which just doesnt make sense to me, same with brock, who just came from 3A, glad that they are doing this good, but i don't think they are beating long time 4A's. i wish everyone good luck in performing on saturday! I’m confused on what you mean on China Spring, maybe I’m not reading your comment correctly, coming from someone interested in what you meant!

Brock I know this is your opinion but I slightly disagree, unless kennedale did some miraculous cleaning of their show and now they are better than most 4a schools then they shouldn't be placed this high. at Sounds of Springtown, Brock, Gatesville, China Spring, and Alvarado made finals and Kennedale did not. now while I haven't seen their show, I just don't think they should be placed this high Tubaplaya2011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were bands this year that showed up that didn’t last year a lot of 6a and 5a bands out beat a lot of people this year that did make it to finals last year. so I could be wrong but it seemed like this year to me it was kinda unfair advantage for some of the smaller 4a bands like Venus and Godley and etc.. but I like I said I could be wrong but at the same time I know for us it was all about having the feedback from judges but we also went into knowing we were not going to win it by all means just too many good bands bassclarinetplayer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang okay, well it's your opinion so I won't judge it They're most likely your band but I don't see lake dallas making finals either. This is area where in the past years has taken all the medals at state. It is super stacked and now that some bands moved the bands that stayed will battle it out with a few new ones but only a few will be able to take it to area b bands. Lake Dallas did not perform well against most of these bands at aubrey and the exhibition was better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Schaeffer Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 In my opinion as a section leader at Lake Dallas, I agree there are some amazing bands at this area this year. We have had some terrible years the past few years and we have not placed well. I’d like to point out though how our area was one of if not the hardest in 5A having Wakeland, Argyle, all Frisco schools, etc. This leaves us as a wild card going into this 4A area as many of these bands do not know how we place against them. I will say we are having what is most likely the best year this school has had and while it will be a great challenge, I wouldn’t surprised if we make finals (especially with the visuals and cleaning we’ve had over the last few weeks) bassclarinetplayer and Austin Brumley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dave609 Posted October 29 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 29 Personally, this is my final predictions (in my opinion)- 1st- Panther Creek 2nd- China Spring 3rd- Alvarado 4th- Gatesville 5th- Krum 6th- Robinson 7th- Kennedale 8th- Castleberry 9th- Lake Dallas 10th- Springtown First 2 out (Any Order)- Brock & Sanger Now anything can happen and if it does end up raining for this area, then it could change a lot on who places where. Best of luck though to all competing in this area! Thisisit24, Tubalord11, cheeto2401 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does rain and gets held up to the point where it can't continue, like mentioned, the performances would be delayed and the preliminary performance results would determine the 5 bands that will advance to state.

Have a good show Saturday just remember to have fun and regardless of what happens don’t sweat what you can’t control! the only thing im worried about is our props, we have these props that arent like usual tarps that have a plain background, we have giant cardboard (its definetly not cardboard but thats what it feels like) cutouts that have wooden support beams, if the wind is too strong, the beam will snap in half. same with our front-runners, because they have leaves that come out of the front-runner to match it. the wooden support beam snapping happened in springtown, we also have tarps that we roll out on the ground for like a whole minute (idek if its a full minute), so iḿ just hoping that the wind isnt too strong during area prelims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
