At the same time, I think hanna will place higher than JBA. JBA prob top 30's and hanna mid 30's. This don't make sense. Ima gonna go to state to watch! Anyone else gonna be there?

Anyone else gonna be there? i have always thought that there was a negative bias towards bands from South Texas/East Texas. I still think it exists, but it isn't as big as I made it out to be in my head. I think that Roma getting their much deserved spot in 5A State finals somewhat cements that. I will say that there is definitely not as much love or help that bands could receive in South Texas compared to other prominent areas, which makes Roma's accomplishments (as well as the accomplishments of many great bands in South Texas) much stronger in my opinion. I will say that it is more than possible for the students of JBA and Hanna to over exceed what people think they can. These two groups are some of the best that South Texas has to offer, so we, as a community, should back them strongly and give them the support they more than deserve. They don't deserve to be supported any less than the band that you thought should have made it. RouseCasa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harlingen isn’t going to state because they did not make finals. They did not qualify so your statement has no merit whatsoever. In 2002 I was marching in JBA and I saw Harlingen marching one of my favorite shows of all time spiral symmetry. I still remember it because as they got off the field in prelims at area I personally told them congrats and good luck at state because I knew they won as soon as they performed. We stayed and watched finals and cheered for Harlingen (big shout out to Donna because it was raining that year the field was muddy and they had white uniforms. Their first set was them on the ground) and all the other bands that made finals because we were just not good enough and we accepted it. At the end of the day it is a competition. At state that year we cheered and I was proud of how well Harlingen did that year because they represented our area so well they broke into the teens if I’m not mistaken. It is such a shame that you can’t show support for 2 great programs that are representing our area. Accept it and grow up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that they are underestimated a lot at state. But I’m so glad that they just deliver and really made a statement in these last 2 cycles. It gives 6A hope that they have a chance to get there as well one day. I hope that both our Area G contenders do great it would be good to see them break into the 20’s. That would be a start to build and keep pushing next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance there isn’t a bias opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
