Panhandle Area Bands

[Drummantx]

I never really see much about panhandle bands on here, probably because there's not many from up here on this site, so here's the rundown of some of the main bands up here.

 

1A:

 

Panhandle High School: Previously 2A, they are about 110 and are more than likely going to tear it up next year at 1A state, they have a strong new director and are pretty good.

 

Canadian High School:

 

They got 3rd at 1A state last year, pretty solid 1A band.

 

4A:

 

Canyon High School (me):

 

We used to be a pretty big competitor in 3A state from 2002 to 2006, placing 3rd twice and 6th once. We lost 2 directors in 2008 and are currently rebuilding to our previous glory, we should make a very strong showing at 4A Area A competition next year.

 

Randall High School:

 

Pretty strong force at Area competition every 4A state year, they are consistintley in finals and have made it to state level a few times.

 

Frenship High School:

 

Very strong and large band (230) that makes it to state about every year in 4A cept 2007.

 

Plainview High School:

 

I think they are about the largest 4A band in the state (325 plus), they are usually lower half of Area A finals every year.

 

That's pretty much the run down of the stronger bands in the area, hope this informs you guys more of what's happening up here!
