borchnork Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 the terminator said: wow, 2-8 amazing. I think moving up to 4A we can go 7-3, and make the playoffs that's very ambitious thinking right there... I looked at our football schedule and it's going to be harder next year than it was this year. I think our football team has it in them to do well next year, cus after all we DID beat the first place team in district by over 30 points... Anyways, for 5A band, I would have said that I could expect to see Mansfield Timberview making top 5 at least in Area B next year... but then they moved to 4A... =[ Quote
treblemaker Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 By my calculation Area D will have 6 returning State Finalists in either 4a/5a. 5A Churchill -3rd Reagan- 5th Bowie- 8th Akins- 10th 4A Connally- 2nd Vista Ridge-7th Add in Cedar Park(did not make State Finals but advanced), Round Rock, Leander, Georgetown and Westlake and I believe you have there a darn good competition with every band giving it all they got. Can't wait. :] Quote

This wouldn't be the first time six bands have advanced from one Area. Area E took six bands to State in 2002 (Churchill, Langham Creek, Reagan, Cypress Falls, Katy Taylor, Seguin). Keep in mind, this was the last State year before the new realignment. Quote

radchad Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Fata1 said: Oh wow. If Bell did a cheery and happy show like Marcus, it would be so weird. I've gotten to the point where I associate the L.D. Bell band with creepy haunting but flipping awesome at the same time. Whatever path they decide to take, though, I'm sure they'll do amazing again. It's going to be interesting. I have been hearing a lot of chatter about Marcus and how they aren't doing anymore of those kinds of shows. If that's true, I wonder what they will do? Quote
borchnork Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I heard that Marcus is still doing a themed esque show like they have been... but not the cheery Marcus show we are used to... Maybe Bell and Marcus will switch places on ideas??? That'd provide for an interesting competition! Quote
the terminator Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 no offense, but we really feel like we can beat all the other frisco schools in football, and then maybe another 2 district games, anyways 5A is ridiculous to the point there's no point to predict Quote
JediSaxSolis Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 mbui said: I wouldn't be surprised if we see less than three Texas bands at Grand Nationals next year. Stephen F. Austin, Richland & Ronald Reagan just went this year and I highly doubt they'll be going next year. Stephen F. Austin and Richland have never gone to Grand Nationals in consecutive years and Ronald Reagan is splitting with Lady Bird Johnson HS next year. The Woodlands have gone the past two years (2006 & 2007). L.D. Bell with three years (2005, 2006 & 2007). Although, I hope The Woodlands and L.D. Bell keep the streak alive and keep on going. Winston Churchill went in 2006. The last time they went to GN prior to 2006 was in 2002. Haltom & Westfield are due for a trip to Grand Nationals. The last time that those two bands went were in 2002 and 2003, respectively. I hope James Bowie, John B. Connally, and Cypress Falls goes again. And, I would love to see some new Texas faces in Indianapolis---Brazoswood, Cedar Park, Harlingen, Hebron, and Marcus. We've always talked about GN, but I think we've always figured a trip to the SA Super Regionals is just as good competitively (definitely more cost-reasonable). I do agree, it would be a lot of fun to see some new Texas bands make their way to Indianapolis. For us, however, I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Our school district is really pinching the pennies right now (apparently the district has a 4 million dollar deficit currently). The district only allows us to go on 1 out-of-state trip every 4 years, as well. Disney World, or GN once every 4 years? Quote

Trumpet of Doom Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I've been to GN twice, quite fun. Specially when you made finals both times. :-P Anyway you guys think Marcus has a chance at winning again? Quote
borchnork Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Uhm, I'm going to hafta give a big yes to that. They always will have a chance, and I feel like it's insanely high again. But I just found out that the UNT Band is performing in Exhibition at the 5A State Contest during Finals! And I'm now a member of it. =] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
whitewing09 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Dude... I CANT WAIT TO SEE ALL YALLS SHOWS at BOA SA and hopefully ill get to go watch the 5A state competition this is my first time on this site in like forever!!! its nice to be back Edited July 13, 2008 by whitewing09 Quote
actualgirltrombone Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 So, person from McNeil, yall have nothing to worry about football wise. Poor VR wasn't even doing too well in their 4A district (although admittedly with Lake Travis and such), so I wouldn't worry too much about having the worst football program. Now BAND, on the other hand, I am excited to the maxxxxx to see from VR. =D Quote

treblemaker Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I'm interested to see where Connally lands amongst the 5a beasts. I think they can hold their own. Quote
ftwdrummer Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I'm interested to see where Paschal lands among the 5A beasts in Area B, given that we have: Pro: Freakishly cool show concept and Con: An entirely new staff. Quote
treblemaker Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I'll be watching ya'll for sure to see how your season goes! :]] Quote
