nahu Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Lone Star is going for sure. They have been back-to-back champs there Quote
GarbagePatchKid Posted March 2 Posted March 2 I imagine all the top 4A bands will be there. This is a regular one for Celina so all the other top bands (save for panther creek iirc) attend to see how they stack up early on. Quote
Idkwhattoputhere Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I wonder how Lakeview, rowlett, and north forney will do! Lakeview and Rowlett were real close to making finals spot, wonder what they’ll have in store next season! Quote
Popular Post BugWub24 Posted March 16 Author Popular Post Posted March 16 We're back!! I have updated the confirmed bands as they currently stand. Lake Highlands will go to Wylie instead of Melissa. Idkwhattoputhere, tubaplayer12, gregorydf01 and 1 other 4 Quote

They currently have Wylie Marching Invitational listed on their calendar for this day. Quote

Can’t really speak to whichever is true or not because I just copied and pasted the list of bands from the Melissa band website lol. Quote
Tubalord11 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I’d probably guess they’re gonna go to Wylie, closer and probably won’t be as insane as a lineup as here so they’d have a better shot at finals. Will probably be off the list next update if I had to guess, though either one is a good option for them tubaplayer12 1 Quote

TexasStrangers Posted April 24 Posted April 24 This Melissa contest is worth the money to attend. There are some heavy heavy heavy hitters in this. Yes it is early in the contest season but it's defiantly a measuring stick for your program against other big hitters. Quote

nahu Posted April 25 Posted April 25 If Lone Star comes with the same power that they did the last two years, they will absolutley win for sure. But I am rooting for Argyle as well. Quote
LoneStarLover123 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 I don't know, it will be hard to de-throne the 2 time champ, but it is always possible. Quote
euph15 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Hope we can see some high 4A placement this year. Always cool to see a small band up there with the big ones. Quote

Expand 3A Mineola made finals 2 yrs ago and 4A Celina made finals last year. It's going to be hard for a 4A to make finals because this contest now going into it's 3rd year is going to heavily attended by 5A/6A bands. You might get 1 or 2 4A's but they got to be exceptional.

Expand Ik last year they did the large school/small school where it was like top 12 large being like 5A/6A and then 4 small being 1-4A I think idk but I think Celina will be in probably but yeah it’s gonna be harder considering how popular it’s getting Quote
TexasStrangers Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Another thing about the Melissa contest is that it is a concrete jungle with it being early in the school year. There is no where to escape the sun and it can play a factor in early and middle of the day bands performing. Quote

But I'm sure most band boosters out there have water stations at the very least. Expand Most programs Ive seen (at least for north DFW) refuse to let kids onto the bus without their water jugs since its a part of their uniform checklist, any program that doesnt have this as a requirement to go to any game, show, competition, or heck especially rehearsals is really setting them up for failure If this isnt mandatory for EVERY school, Im frankly shocked there hasnt been more lawsuits or reports of heatstroke Quote

I want to wait for more people to sign up before I lock in my prediction however. 1. Lone Star/Argyle/Rock Hill 2. Lone Star/Argyle/Rock Hill 3. Lone Star/Argyle/Rock Hill 4.

TrenBS Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Here is my predictions going just based off of the trend from 2023-2024, non-objective list of course, and free to disagree etc. (gets tiring writing that out even though its important to keep in mind haha) 1. Lone Star 2. McKinney High 3. Argyle 4. Rock Hill 5. Lakeview 6. Walnut Grove 7. Little Elm 8. Celina 9. Memorial 10. Liberty dfwhorn and Idkwhattoputhere 2 Quote
