Showdown? Easy now. Both versions are arranged a bit differently so it'll be nice to see how both programs utilize the piece.

 

 

Where can I find a list of area D participants?

This should be a pretty fun and intense contest, at least that's what I'm hoping for.

 

It always is. Area D is just sick with great programs. Also, the concessions sold Chick Fil A last time in 2006!

Westlake and USSBA Hays ended, so we can talk about this now.

 

Region 8, 18, and 26 all have 8 5A Bands, and 12 has 12. So there are 36 Bands.

 

If they all get a one (possible), there would be *7* bands going to state, but there is likely going to be 6.

 

It seems like quite a few good bands won't be going to Finals or State. Too many bubble bands.

Akins

Cedar Park

Connally

Georgetown

James Bowie

Leander

Ronald Reagan

Round Rock

Vista Ridge

Westlake

Winston Churchill

 

There's the 11-band bubble of hopefuls (granted they don't botch their Region performance and get a 2) and also the most likely finals block. One of these heavyweight bands won't even make finals (which will be a shame since not a single one of these bands has competed in Area D over the past decade and not made finals), which means there also won't be any leeway for some of the other great bands that we sometimes get to see in finals (Pflugerville, Belton, Westwood, Judson etc.) this year.

With the bands in this area anyone could have a good performance and throw it all off.

I would probably put New Braunfels in that potential finalist group too, but otherwise I agree. Every band that advances from this area is a legitimate state finals threat. I wouldn't even rule out the possibility of all Area D advancers making finals.

Ack!! I was going to try to make a prediction of who will move on to State, but it's just too hard! So many bubble bands... plus I've barely seen any shows.

 

It'll be very close to call. Keep in mind that the judges switch responsibilities between Prelims and Finals. When the programs are this good, a sub-par performance in Area Finals could be costly.

Does anyone know how Reagan is coming along this year? I know their school was partly split by the new high school in the district.

 

I'm wondering the same thing...I haven't heard anything about Reagan this year...

The sooner the videos, the worse the show is. It gives an idea of what the show is, but I would wait to post my bands last performance. It was scarrrryy! We just learned are last bit of drill this last week. Onward to cleaning!!! And visual learning, that is, if we have any to learn. "/

I will actually get to see this contest since I don't have a football game to play at (6-0 baby!!) and I'm driving in that friday. I'm am really excited to see Cedar Park's show (finally) since they are going to play the sock off it.

That is one heck of a judging panel!

Both Leander and Westlake are playing Dance of the Jesters from what I hear.

 

how fun!

 

I kind of wish we have a early performance time, because I want to see all of the other bands in the area.
