Karah Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Well State is coming up anyone have any Predictions, 25 great bands are in Prelims. and there are only 14 spots i believe... who's going to make it? Quote
iceeblue2 Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I think we'll get to see a lot of very deserving bands Quote
GenericWit Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Oh my gosh. Another thread for state. Haha. Like I said in another thread: I want to see all the bands I can because the more bands I see, the more I miss school, the more I learn about marching, the more fun I have, and the more school I miss. Umm... I want to see Connally's show. I want to see Poteet's. I'd love to get a glimpse of Fossil Ridge's. There are just so many good bands I want to see (and of course, I want to see everyone's I've already seen). Who's going to take the spots? Umm... I don't know. We'll see. Quote

Have you seen any other 4A shows? It's pretty presumptuous to make that assertion with out seeing what the rest of the state has to offer. You're guaranteeing 3-4 spots out of only 10. You may be right, but I'm just curious how many 4A shows you've seen to make these kinds of judgments. Quote
SerialSleeper90 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 I think she's making the assumption based off of competitions and ranking in relation to 4a power houses as well as some top-tier 5a bands. Aside from us, Centennial, I really do think Sherman, Aledo, and Poteet have a pretty good run for finals. Not that I'm saying we don't have a chance, but I'll definitely have to wait till the judges make the call. Quote

Just to clarify.... BOA San Antonio Super Regional: 14 Finalists advance. UIL 4A State: 10 Finalists advance. Quote

I was just curious if she has seen any of the other competition. Best of luck to everyone. Quote
longhornsax Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 No...there's not really a difference considering 10 bands make finals...? I think it's pretty near impossible to predict the outcome of this contest. So many good bands, i'd hate to be a judge. I think it really depends on what kind of show everyone has. I think everyone's proven that they have a really good show, it's just a matter of how they execute in the Dome. Should be fun...too bad I won't get to see anyone there considering we go second to last... Quote

You may be right, but I'm just curious how many 4A shows you've seen to make these kinds of judgments. Hey now, we all have opinions, no need to snip at others when it's just her predictions. Besides, it's not that far out to think that the previous 4A Grand Champions would make it to finals again, nor that the 3rd place at State and strong competition with Poteet would make it, or that another previous state finalist wouldn't live up to its name and take a finals spot again this year. That aside, they are all pretty good bands any way you slice it, and they do deserve props some way or another. I'll have to second (or third) gracelyd here on those. As far as Centennial goes, I think you're just being nice since there are so many of us on the forum but I can tell you like all of our shows and think we have a pretty good shot as well. Thanks for the boot of confidence! I think some of my State Finalists would have to be the Three stated above, Roma (I've only heard good about them), Dickinson (same), maybe Conally, The Colony is pretty solid (but I'll have a strong opinion on that once I see them this weekend at the Centennial Marching Festival) and the same goes for Dripping Springs. This is gonna be one tough year! Quote
DefunctSim Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Sorry for the double post, but I just want to point out that I'm not trying to pick a bone with anyone- I certainly don't want to make anyone think that. I'm just saying what I think in the most polite way I can think of. Cheers all around! Quote
borchnork Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Whatever happens This year is going to be crazy. And I like it like that. =] Quote

I didn't mean to sound like a snipper. and I wasn't critiquing her predictions. again, best of luck to all. It's an accomplishment enough to be at this event to begin with. Quote
borchnork Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Yes, you are very right about that. I can't wait to see Dripping Springs on Saturday. And I'm also excited about our game against The Colony tomorrow. I wanna see their show finally!!! Quote
whitewing09 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 itys way to hard to even predict who'll make it, im thinking that the area D reps have a really good chance of filling in the spots, but thats just becuz those are the only bands ive seen Quote

We all think that our area can best do it, simply because that's who we've seen. I must say that band's out of area's B and D have the higher chances simply because of the level of competition they had to overcome simply to qualify. Not saying that any other areas didn't (like area C, Pearce had to get around Waxahachie first), but B and D were the areas that were extremely up in the air because of the number of drop jaw amazing bands there.

Fata1 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 As far as making finals goes, I won't be surprised if all four Area B bands make it. Quote

It'll definitely be competitive this year. That has been said enough though. I look forward to seeing all the bands on Tuesday. Quote

bonepit06-07 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Area D pwns as well the toughest area in TX in my opinion Quote
SerialSleeper90 Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 "With their powers combined..." Quote
GenericWit Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 LOL... I'd love to see all area B and D bands make finals. That'd be pretty funny. Quote
bonepit06-07 Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 we just have to wait and find out? hope has everyone has great shows GOOD LUCK!!!!!! Quote
chickora Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I have a feeling that Hendrickson and Connally will make it from the places they've got at competitions. Great bands. Quote
borchnork Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 well we know now that all the area B bands were beaten by Dripping Springs, so something is gonna go down there. Quote
