Who would you like to see win 4A State this year?

FYI, I was not the one to bring up football. In fact, I even mentioned that I thought we were on a band forum, not football, so no need to get so almighty.... I have been and still am one of the LT Cavalier Band's HUGEST fans, as you can tell from my previous posts. The LT Band did amazing this year and I was not trying to take away from that, so please make sure you know where the discussion started before you accuse me of taking away from the band's accomplishments.

I read orangebloods every day so while I enjoy a good football discussion I think it was wholly inappropriate to detract from the Lake Travis marching band accomplishments this season by bringing up Garrett Gilbert on this thread. Lets stick to marching bands on txbands.com please! Thanks!

No problem! Although, I dare to never mention that sport again on here lest I be banished from here forever! ;-)

I'm just messing with you, as someone who goes to UT it was unfortunate that Gilbert was made the scapegoat for last season's debacle. But back on topic congrats on your first state appearance, I went to Wakeland (graduated before the 09 season) and I remember how excited our band was to make our first state appearance, and hey they got 4th last time so its definitely doable to come out and challenge for a medal. Good luck tomorrow.

Not to discount the great program you have at Newman Smith, your show this year is quite great, but early season wins/losses should not be used to count your eggs before they hatch. Just remember that they didn't put their closer on the field, and took everything that was given on the critique sheets very seriously. The first contest they put their closer on the field at, Area C, they very nearly swept in both Prelims and Finals.

 

 

 

 

I feel like Cedar Park and Dripping Springs will be first and second in prelims, in no particular order, with Centennial hot on their tails followed by Waxahachie and Lake Travis. Then an upset with Lake Travis and Waxahachie fighting for first and second, with Centennial and Dripping Springs fighting for third/fourth and a huge upset with Cedar Park in fifth place. Because we all know that literally anything can happen in the UIL circuit, especially with 4A being such a diverse, cutthroat division. I'd also like to say that Lake Travis's show is quite lovely, and I was surprised the first time I saw them. I keep trying to figure out where I've heard/seen elements of the show before, but I can't quite ever put my finger on it. Either way, I'm excited to see all the spectacular bands at State this coming Tuesday!

 

Well you have Scheherezade and Incantation, two very widely used pieces by drum corps and marching bands.
