crunchycookie3 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I’m always so impressed by how deemed “bubble bands” in TX tend to fare at Nats (like SLC, Hendrickson, Prosper, to name a few.) What are some Texas groups you feel would have decent success at Grand Nationals if they decided to go in the near future? I’ll start: - Brandeis - Burleson Centennial - Cedar Ridge - Clear Brook - College Park - Cy-Fair - Dawson - Forney - LD Bell - Rouse - Wakeland - Westlake - Westwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LostChoirGuy Posted May 6 Popular Post Share Posted May 6 LD Bell is a former grand nats champion and multiple time medalist. I'm not sure I would include them in this list, though I would love to see them back at nats again. crunchycookie3, Parkwoodmom and LeanderMomma 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was coming at it more from the angle that they haven’t been in over ten years—I believe it’s been a similar period of waiting for Cedar Ridge!

Forney would have such a good shot just by the numbers of there band and the program but also with Wakeland with there program legacy they went to nats ages ago and went all out with that show. Would love some of these schools to build a nats show. crunchycookie3 and ChristopherRoden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppell because of their pretty consistent achievements and then Cy-Fair because of their recent success. Their "Caging the Swarm" show last year gave me Grand National Finals vibes in my opinion.

I feel like they’ll do good, and hopefully secure a spot in finals (one could hope, I am hoping). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achase Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I wish Friendswood would have gone in their 2003-2018 heyday because they would have had a real shot of making finals. Does anyone know much about their new band director? Their last two band directors following the loss of multiple assistants and the head director, Greg Dick, have not been up to their usual 21st century standards. It seems like the Houston-area bands tend to rise and fall and don't all stay good at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been an assistant for at least 2 or 3 years and went to school at University of Houston I think, they're show theme and title has been posted on social media and they seem to be on the rise boa wise as they have made final appearances for local boa's which they haven't been able to do till a couple years back so I would say that they are progressing it's just that everyone else is equally progressing which is a good thing because it keeps things interesting.

I think that one year with Lipman will set them up nicely to sweep captions next year. It won't be like 2019--they'll be an unstoppable force by the time they decide to go.
