To all the Area B/C folks…as a resident of Area E, I’d love to hear how this stacks up against the stars of your region…lmk please🙏

Since you asked for it in my opinion it will be extremely hard to break top 5 for anyone outside of area b and c. It may even be hard to break top 7. The areas are coming in HHHOOOOOT. Even their new comers look super good. Not only that these areas are known to pick it up for state. I wish all bands luck though.

Anyone have Calallan video?

[Frost]

I found it I watched there show it was really good 

 

[Frost]

Wait nvm that might be the wrong one 

[Frost]

Yeah I think that’s the wrong one I think they have blue uniforms this year 

[Frost]

That’s floresville nvm

That’s annoying they probably wrote Calallen because Calallen hosts the Area E contest but still😭

Sure I was totally curious and was looking for the straight up truth so I appreciate it…these guys did place 6th last year and 7th before but it gets really elite at the top, even with Anna moving up to 5A

I think they will likely make top 10 still, just not sure where exactly.

Yes newcomers like Farmersville and Aubrey. They have never made it to state and they look pretty strong. They will definitely live up to their respective areas.

I recommend checking out China Spring, Area B Champion if you haven't already.

they look so clean this year! normally CS tries to push the limits and play super difficult stuff, but it seems like this year we toned it back and really focused on getting a clean show. I'm proud of my alma mater and how far we've come. just a few years ago we were a fully military style, so it's nice seeing us really settle in to the corps style

[Atssbsax1]

China spring does indeed look awesome. Super crisp marching and forms and playing. Wonder if area b will still keep the gold. It's been a while since area b has lost the gold. Excited for the clash between b and c on Wednesday.

Interestingly, China Spring got realigned to Area B this year, I'm excited to see how everyone does! and I think the finals will be really interesting and definitely not a given that any one band will win. I look forward to it.

What school are you from?

[Band_kid77]

Tuba180 you used to be Trumpet180 right? Also are you from Davenport, because all your posts seem to be about them.

[Woodwind209]

Who do yall think state finalists will be this year?

[BandG33k73]

I thought Burnet sounded great yesterday and can’t wait to hear Pecos today! Love seeing more 4A bands do BOA San Antonio!

i agree, but it is hard for some 4A's to actually get into the super regionals, like Gatesville, who has had to go against SEVERAL 5A and 6A State Champions (in previous years) like Vandegrift, Vista Ridge, Cedar Park, etc. and it's probably the same for many other 4A's
