drumajorfernando Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Any predictions for who will be going to Area Contest? Since this is a 1A/2AA and 4AAAA advancing year. Quote
Drillz Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 We (Sherman) have our Region 25 Contest tomarrow! We're not worried about not getting a 1st division rating, but our band is really looking forward to Area B on the 27th!There will be a lot of great Marching Finalists and Honor bands there! It'll be tough, but I think that we'll move on to state! Quote
ddmwingz Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 lol... good luck to you guys tomorro. i, for one, would place money on u guys advancing from the area. Quote
SerialSleeper90 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 i wonder if people actually do that... Quote
DefunctSim Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I don't think they do... but I think we should start. Definately. Quote
ddmwingz Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 lol...anyways, to get this back on topic. who else do u think will advance from area b Quote
Fata1 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I'd place my money on Sherman advancing too. As far as Area B goes, I think Sherman, Aledo, and The Colony will definitely advance. Not necessarily in that order. The final one or two spots are, in my opinion, going to be a close call between Birdville, Centennial, Southwest, and Juan Seguin. I've also been hearing something about Boyd possibly working their way into the fight also. Four or five bands for one or two spots is crazy. Quote
the terminator Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Centennial's got my vote, they are ready BUTTTTT since their closer is not yet on the field and at 180 a little nerveracking there. As for Boyd they are working like crazy, and they did extremely well getting 9th at Plano East which is phenomonal and with many Mckinney people upperclassmen will try to get the up there. In this order Sherman, The Colony, Aledo, Centennial, Southwest. Alternate Boyd Quote
SerialSleeper90 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Haha thats 5 bands making state from area b. Quite an optimistic outlook. You know I wish you guys were 4a already. While that would make 9 (count em) bands duking it out... atleast it improves the chances of having a greater number for state bound bands. Quote
the terminator Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Yeah I guess a little too optomistic. Last year at 3A area C we got a huge amount of regions like 7 , and two of them b/c no one got 1's were allowed to compete anyways which was definately a positive. And I thank you for the gesture but we are not yet ready with 80% of the band freshman and sophomore, we sometimes have mental mistakes effect us a little more than Mr. Miller would like, but then again he is tough on us and wants us to succeed and I think it showed this Saturday. You can talk to any of the people from last year, and we had no idea that we can already be at the level competing against you guys at Centennial in just our 2nd year. I believe we have 6 TOTAL SENIORSSSS!!!!! and 15 or so juniors(including me), so when the state competition comes around in 09(after I graduate ) we will be ready so watch out for us Quote
SerialSleeper90 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 You guys are definitely flying through the building process of a new band. I remember watching you guys at area last year (yes, I went there just to watch). I'll say this... I don't know what the judges were on. You guys should have gotten a way higher placement, if I remember correctly. Quote
jd2012 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 one things for sure, if we (Boyd) are gonna make I pray it's gonna be this year cuz next year they are bumping up to 5A and that will be tough, although they will lose all of about 14 people good luck to everyone at region and area Quote
the terminator Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 good job at plano east this week, do you guys have uil tommorow Quote
SerialSleeper90 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 two questions... There are Region competitions in the middle of the week? Boyd is already going to be 5A?! Quote
the terminator Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 yeah all of Mckinney is moving up next year, b/c they aren't dumb as Frisco and build schools after schools, and 2nd answer yeah some region are during the week and I'm pretty sure they are one of them. I for one am envious of them b/c they get to skip some school and more days to practice for area Quote
Drillz Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I really thought that you guys (Boyd) Should have won that award that Allen High School got for showing best sportsmanship with the other bands. Since Sherman was sitting in the stands next to you guys I noticed that you guys would give almost all of the bands standing ovations and stuff like that! Quote
jd2012 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 yeah UIL is tomorrow, we're psyched for it! actually I think Boyd is going to be the only 5A school in McKinney but don't quote me on that thanks for the encouragement at Plano East, we tryed to get that award but I guess you can't beat the only band who can do a super slo-mo wave good for all of twenty minutes Quote
jd2012 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 thanks, is wakeland going to be 4A next year? (if so it'll be nice to still have a year of training/prep time on fundamentals and whatnot) Quote

I for one am envious of them b/c they get to skip some school and more days to practice for area I just about got angry at you for saying Frisco is dumb in any fashion, then I remembered "oh yeah, he goes to Wakeland, he can say that... because he's right." All is well. And wow, Boyd is going 5A... how many people are in your band program again (to anyone who is in Boyd)? Quote
drumajorfernando Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 how about Area A? This is my schools last year as 4-AAAA we're going to 3-AAA next school year. Quote
