Popular Post LKendrick Posted October 8 Popular Post Share Posted October 8 It'll be another great year. 4A quality has increased pretty dramatically and it's exciting to see bands from almost every part of the state being very competitive. Quality of shows and performances is only going up, should be a blast at state again. ClarinetKid23, whatsbandman and J-Mike16 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only seen videos but they are Solid for sure! I also think the bands from Area A are going to bring it. Canyon is looking really strong.

Liam Allen Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Having seen one bootleg video of Panther Creek: They are going to win State, and it’s not going to be close. The demand is off the charts for 4A and they’re pulling it off pretty well for early October. I can’t imagine the horror of any band going after them in the Alamodome. Having also just seen China Spring live: Possible medal incoming. All the usual tiny nitpicks I have are pretty tiny. The biggest problem I have is phrasing and the occasional balance issue. There’s some tuning stuff, but that’s always there. Dave609 and maxin459 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post criscubes Posted October 13 Popular Post Share Posted October 13 I do think Farmersville should be put obove canton since Farmersville beat alvarado earlier this season and Alvarado beat canton. Sulphut springs did beat Farmersville yesterday at royse city prelims, so I think that's pretty accurate in placement, however it'll be interesting to see how they stack up against china springs. I haven't seen their show yet, but I'm sure they are definitely competing for those medals. The top 5 are neck and neck, anyone could really take them, although I think panther creek is pretty much sitting at that first place podium already. gammie634, bandnerd310 and edwardthevampire 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, 2nd-5th place could be literally anyone! Panther Creek is definitely taking the gold this year they are killing it out there! But we will see.

TexasStrangers Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Saw the Farmersville show last night in Celina. Very clean and crisp I could see State Finals and maybe a Top 5 Finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Allen Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Everybody's sleeping on Krum, but I think there's Finals potential there out of Area B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeto2401 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 how do people think Gatesville will do? their show has dramatically increased in specific areas compared to their 2023 show, and their 2023 show scored 12th, when there was 10 finalists. possible finals spot for them i believe, especially since their first ever contest at BOA they got a higher visual score in prelims than Liberty Hill (5A), which we all find suprising, since Gatesville was a 1A for BOA and all the other schools were 3A's and 4A's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmersville has been 4A for many years. The get to Area but never seem to make it to State because the 4A Area they are in is just brutal. However, I think their show has a chance. They have won overall 1st in 2 competitions this year and have gotten 2nd in 2 others. The sax solo in the show is very moving and full of emotion.

Farmersville’s show is very interesting and I really enjoy the solos. The guard is especially phenomenal and I can’t vait to see how far they can get this year.

If I'm being full honest, their show in 2022 could've made state finals with very little difficulty, but they have been in old Area B since they moved into 4a in 2018 after getting 2nd state at the 3a level. You can find a video on yt for their 2022 show. They got 1st alternate 2 years in a row, 2022 and 2023, so yes they are a great band, but just absolutely brutal areas that they have been in and it placed them in the shadows of area B for many years.

Atssbsax1 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I am predicting that this year ee will have state finalists that no one has heard of. For example, Farmersville will probably be there due to them being successful at old area b which always took home the medals. We will see finalists that either moved from area b to another area or stayed there. Area b bands are just that good.
