And there we have our 5 bands advancing to State from Area B....wow

 

And don't forget Coppell from Tier 3 went to state. Mansfield was alternate.

So, this competition is definitely going to be interesting.

Is this competition going to be broadcast online?

 

No.

 

Only San Antonio, St. Louis, Atlanta, and the Indianapolis regionals will be broadcast online, as well as Grand Nationals. The videos will be online in an "on-demand" format, however.

I just have a little tick about Colleyville Heritage. Last season they went to this contest and barely missed finals, they were pretty far off from making finals at San Antonio, and they didn't make semi-finals at Grand Nats. In all of these contests, there were bands in which Colleyville would have regularly been ahead of. I'm not trying to bash the organization or anything, I'm just wandering what they have this year to come back. Anyone know of what their show is or how they're doing this year?

I saw them yesterday at Birdville. Their show is almost identical to Churchill's show in that "Joy" is the main theme. Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" is prominent through the entire show. The also use Rocky Point Holiday by Ron Nelson, im not sure on the other pieces.

 

I enjoyed it.

Their guard is very strong this year. And the band as a whole are much improved from the last few years in overall design, sound, and technique.

The main thing I remember about them from this past weekend was how loud they were.

They have not lacked in design recently. They have one of the most respected design teams in the country.

Has anyone seen bell????

 

I went to their football game on September 25th but I won't write comments on them until I've seen them in a contest environment.

I would bump Hebron down to Tier 3 and replace with Haltom or Berkner.

 

Hebron's director is now the director at Reagan, right? Or am I inventing things again? I don't think this one will affect them too adversely...but I would be a little more wary with them.

 

And you forgot Martin and Fossil Ridge. Fossil Ridge could be a tier 4, but probably a tier 5 just due to performance time if nothing else. Martin should be a solid tier 5, as well.

No, we still have our head director. Only one of our assistant directors went to Reagan.

 

 

Oh sorry, after reading through the rest of the posts, I now see that someone already established this...

I didn't say that.

But they are better this year than they have been in everything. Which is an improvement, is it not?

yeah Coppell got third at state remember? But alas I guess we aren't higher up on the predictions because we're not supposed to be a BOA band..

And the differences between early season and late season.

I've seen Colleyville Heritage a few times this year and personally, I think they are "the band to beat". Their sound is amazing! (No affiliation w/CH here...in fact, my son marches w/FRHS and he agrees - but also thinks LD Bell is awesome, too)

Seconded. They've grown so much should do very well at Area.

So Wakeland comes out on top of the Area B bands. Should be interesting to see where Smith, Aledo and Birdville landed (Legacy being in exhibition). Very exciting contest shaping up here.

I'd hate to spoil the surprise tomorrow morning but the 11 - 20 spots are from a very reliable source.
