mellopwn1 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) So now that all the Area listenings have been completed and results posted, I took the liberty of compiling this list of all the state finalists categorized by classification and included their repertoire. While this isn't a big "5A" year with all of our favorite marching bands in competition, there are some fantastic concert bands that are going to be facing off at the Texas Bandmaster's Convention next month. Take a look a the list and make a guess as to who you think might come out on top. My Predictions: 4a: Wylie Hs (Great repertoire...depends how it was performed. Maybe Waxahachie or Cedar Park, though.) 3C: McCullough JH (I heard rumors that these guys were AMAZING...and after seeing what they played, I'm not surprised) 2A: Noooooo idea... (A disturbing amount of these bands got 2's and 3's at UIL) 2C: Coppell MS North (It's going to be ONE of the Coppells...) Class 4A Creekview HS – Region 24 – Area A Grand Galop Chromatique (Franz Liszt) Masquerade for Band (Persichetti) The Sorceror's Apprentice (Dukas/Patterson) Liberty Hs – Region 24 – Area A The Gum-Suckers March (Grainger/Rogers) Symphonic Metamorphosis (Mvt., I, II and III) (Hindemith/Wilson) Redline Tango (Mackey) Summit HS – Region 5 – Area B Who's Who in Navy Blue (Sousa/Byrne) Lincolnshire Posy (play at least five mvts) (Grainger) Rocky Point Holiday (Nelson) Southwest HS – Region 7 – Area B Manhattan Beach (Sousa) Lincolnshire Posy (play at least five mvts) (Grainger) Circus Overture (Schuman) Pearce HS – Region 3 – Area C The Boys of the Old Brigade (Chambers/Smith) Masquerade for Band (Persichetti) Lincolnshire Posy (Grainger/Fennell) Wylie HS – Region 25 – Area C Glory of the Yankee Navy (Sousa) Symphony No. 5 Finale (Shostakovich/Righter) Bells For Stowkowski (Daugherty) Waxahachie HS – Region 20 – Area D Solid Men to the Front (Sousa/Byrne) Variants on a Medieval Tune (Dello Joio) Symphony in Bb for Band (play at least one mvt) (Hindemith) Cedar Park HS – Region 26 – Area D The Boys of the Old Brigade (Chambers/Smith) Lincolnshire Posy (play at least five mvts) (Grainger) Redline Tango (Mackey) Dripping Springs HS – Region 18 – Area E The Glory Of The Yankee Navy (Sousa/Schissel) Postcard (Ticheli) Fantasies on a Theme by Haydn (Dello Joio) Hendrickson HS – Region 18 – Area E Easter Monday at the White House Lawn (Sousa) Aurora Awakes (Mackey) La Forza del Destino (Verdi) Vidor HS – Region 10 – Area F Lola Flores (Alfred Sadel & Terig Tucci/John Krance) Lincolnshire Posy (Percy Grainger) Awayday (Adam Gorb) Dawson HS – Region 17 – Area F The Planets, Opus 32 (play at least Jupiter) (Holst/Patterson) Variants on a Medieval Tune (Dello Joio) Who's Who In Navy Blue (Sousa/Byrne ) Victoria East HS – Region 14 – Area G The Gladiator March (Sousa) Lincolnshire Posy - Mvts.

Thomas Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Who do you think will win 2nd and 3rd place in Class 3C? Quote
mellopwn1 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 Thomas said: Who do you think will win 2nd and 3rd place in Class 3C? I'm really no expert here...concert programs are nowhere near as exposed as marching programs in that you almost never get to hear them unless you are somehow connected to that school. I can't really say for sure McCullough will win because I'm not the person judging them. Many of the 3C bands have placed in the top 7 of the Honor Band process previously, so all of them are very good. Just glancing at past results, Westbrook and Rice would be safe guesses, but then again Fort Settlement and Howard are usually up there, too. I could just arbitrarily pick two schools, but it doesn't really mean anything because I've never heard any of them except a select few. Quote
takigan Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 For 2A there are 3 very strong schools that have the chance to win it based on previous reputations. Queen City (wasn't eligible last time because they were the 2008 2A Honor Band...Queen City was also 2A State Marching champion in '09), Krum (Honor Band runner up during the last go-round) and Howe (Top 5 during the last go-round). mellopwn1 said: Rice MS Quote
mellopwn1 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 rebelstrike said: Actually Hendrickson played Easter Monday at the White House Lawn (Sousa) Aurora Awakes (Mackey) La Forza del Destino (Verdi) I haven't really heard anyone elses tapes, but based on area results, marching band, and what I know about the bands in Central Texas I would say its probably between Waxahachie, Cedar Park, Dripping Springs, and hopefully us. Like I said, I don't really know much about bands outside of UIL Area D. Woops! Sorry bout that, I accidentally copied the school right below you guys on the Uil forms (Jack C. Hays HS). It gets a little tedious copying all that and switching between regions....bound to make a mistake. I fixed it on the original post! Quote
alinktothepresent Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 For 4A, I think it's between Dripping Springs and Waxahachie. Quote
clumpton Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Hill Country MS (2C) did not perform their UIL program on their honor band submission. Their HB program is: For the New Day Arisen (Barton) A Longford Legend (Sheldon) Alligator Alley (Dougherty) Edited July 11, 2011 by clumpton Quote
