I believe so

 

Hendrickson Is Still 4A, and next year, they will still be 4A lol

I'm gonna' have to agree with the Legacy one. They are a very young band.. much like us. I'm hoping for great things for them next year at 4a state as well as us in two years for 5a, because we're not losing any substantial numbers and we got alternate this year.

 

 

Also, one of my friends that graduated from martin last year told me that they were on a rebuilding year. And if you can make BOA finals on a rebuilding year, then you're doing work. So i'd watch out for them as well.

Yeah Legacy is definitely climbing the ladder fast. Making BOA finals in your second year is nothing to sneeze at. I also think Hebron has just risen to the top level. They had been doing well for a while but have definitely blossomed this year.

dont count berkner out TROYKA IS A KNOWN GENIUS!!!!!!!

 

hes helped the Connally and Hendrickson leadership teams at our leadership retreat and everything that comes out of his mouth is absolutely genius!!!!! every word he says is great

except when he teaches rifle to band members.

not so much dude. the technique has changed hardcore buddy

but troyka is pretty awesome. =]

Mansfield and Legacy are definitely rising and its cool to see since I have really good friends at both schools but when MISD opens ANOTHER school in 2011 it's hard to say what will happen.. Hopefully yall won't be hit as hard as Summit was last year when Legacy opened:(

Remember though there were quite a few bands missing from that competition. I'm not trying to be a downer, but I think if LD Bell, Richland, and Haltom had been there, it may have been different.

 

And from what I have heard, Legacy is losing quite a few good seniors this year.

So we will see.

What is this "Hanks HS"?

 

I've never heard of them until like a week ago, and they're going to the State Marching Contest.....safe to say they're on the climb.

How about Keller? They finished 1st at Area, just above Hanks. They also finished 1st in 06.

Keller has been a big name for awhile now though. In the 90's they won 4A honor band and made state marching finals. Then they were stuck in the hardest 5A area in the state and while they were always a threat to advance, they never placed quite high enough on area day. They've definitely benefited from the move to Area A. It's good to see them consistently advancing to state.

 

I agree about Hanks. El Paso band used to be all about Coronado, but recently Americas and Bel Air have been thriving and apparently Hanks is as well.

Hanks is definately on the rise. They sound PHENOMENAL, i was more than impressed.

um emily, hebron didnt do soulja boi.. that would be central.

haha nice try though. ps: quit being so cocky.. lol

 

 

actually hebron did soulja boi in 07 or 06.

[ftwdrummer]

Hebron did the Soulja Boi dance in 2007. One of the more entertaining things I saw at BOA Arlington that year (when I wasn't falling asleep...5 AM call at the band hall will do that to you).

There was more than just one band doing Soulja Boy last year. I thought it was tacky as heck. Didn't like it at all.

You and me both. It was cheesy and had no place in the marching field.
