I also agree that I don't see much of anything changing. It's going to be another bloodbath this upcoming season and unless you have something that just blows away what you did last year then good luck! This upcoming year is also the year before reclassification so it's curious to see if some of these schools will move up to 5A or stay in 4A. I know the 5A cut off numbers will go up but how much is unknown.

As far as the Lindale stadium goes, its a nice place but it's a difficult place to get in and out of when you got 23 4A bands competing. I also remember weather was a factor as well. Lindale is actually doing road construction as we speak to the school I believe to improve it. 

Yes, there were some bands that travelled along way away but that's how the lines got drawn unfortunately and will probably be redrawn for the 26-27 season. Yes, we all hope that there can be a center place for Area but it's hard in band especially in Area C. I doubt you will probably ever seen Area C down in far south east Texas because 3/4 of the schools are in NE Texas. I know that was an issue for 3A Area C as they were having it down at SFA and most of the schools competing in that were over 2 hours away hence I think that was the reason they moved it this past year.

Speaking of the stadium situation, i was thinking if Gilmer would be able to host it. Right in the middle and has lots of space. the only thing that would be a problem is trying to get the Ad to let them use it.

Mount Pleasant could host it as well. They already host the region 4 marching contest. It could possibly work as well.

That's not really a good hosting location though. Favors the bands up north. 4A Area E would probably be closer for the SETX bands if Mount Pleasant hosted Area C.

There are several places in the Area that could host it. The problem is who wants to do it, there are several schools that have nice facilities but don't want to go through the trouble of hosting a huge event. I don't think Gilmer would be an option because it's more deeper east that would cause most schools that were in this Area to drive another hour at least to get there.

I don't see how Mt. Pleasant would help most of the schools that are in the Area. It's going to cause a longer drive for most of the schools and the competition that Mount Pleasant hosts is Regionals which bands show up, perform, get scores and leave. They are not there all day long which is what it would be for 20+ 4A Bands.

I am really intrigued about the show. Seems to be in a different direction than the previous shows. Was there a video at all? or just the show poster?

There was a video, but it won’t be posted till after middle school band banquet tonight. And yes, it’s going in a very different direction than what Lumberton has ever done.
