borchnork Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 So at the moment it looks like Area B will for sure be sending 4 bands to the TSMBC. Still waiting for results from Region 7 to see if there will be 4, 5, or 6 bands from this area going though!! Who is your top 4? Quote
jmj Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Here is a link to the Star-Telegram with Reg. 7's results: http://www.star-telegram.com/2011/10/22/34...7XBqfc.facebook Quote
borchnork Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 That means Area B will now be sending SIX bands to the State level!!!! Here are the bands competing Saturday in performance order. I'm bolding my top picks: The Colony (Lewisville) R.L. Turner (C/FB) Newman Smith (C/FB) Lake Dallas Summit Crowley Heritage (Frisco) Wylie East Western Hills Creekview (C/FB) Birdville McKinney North Little Elm McKinney Quote
Frisco_Centennial_Pit Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Wait so we ARE sending six? Phew. Quote
gabe211 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 What an exciting bloodbath this contest will be haha. Good luck to all!! Quote
Keller Shelton Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Bloodbath indeed. Good luck to all, but Aledo's got our sights set... Quote
Frisco_Centennial_Pit Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 This Saturday is going to be crazy. Centennial's more than ready. Quote

Good luck to you guys. I'm really pulling for Southwest! I think out of the bands that made it last year, Aledo, Southwest and Newman Smith are the ones that are most likely to make it again. I would throw Creekview, Centennial and Summit into that group to round out the top 6. I would probably place either The Colony or Birdville as the alternate.

borchnork Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 I would also like to point out a portion of the schedule: McKinney Everman Wakeland (Frisco) Centennial (Frisco) Aledo Sherman Wylie Joshua 7 of my top 13 bands performing literally back to back to back..... That will be the block to watch for the breakout bands. Quote

I've always pulled for Centennial since 2007 when we didn't make it and you guys did. Also, Aledo actually didn't make it out of Area B last time around. It was Newman Smith, Wakeland, Legacy, and Southwest. I'm interested to see if they pull it off this year. I haven't seen their show or heard much about them. Area B will be crazy as usual, though. At least they're taking six this time. Quote

I had said that to a few random directors the other day and they said Aledo made it.... Oh well.. lol. I haven't seen or heard anything about Southwest this year. What's the show concept?

Anyway, Southwest's show is The Rise of the Phoenix. I don't remember what the entire musical program consists of but I know they're playing some of Mackey's Kingfishers Catch Fire and Stravinsky's Firebird. Here's a video of their performance a little over a week ago if you're interested. Quote

Thanks for sharing! Quote

borchnork Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Just did my predictions.... I was literally like cringing while forcing myself to pick and narrow down the rankings..... I'm still on edge about it. Quote
Fata1 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Just submitted mine as well. Did it more to enjoy viewing other people's predictions, though, and I only did the top six. I really don't know much about the bands this year. The only shows I've seen are Centennial's, which looks amazing, and Southwest's. I just kind of went on past success and a little of what I've heard on TheYellowBoard. Quote
borchnork Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 I went mostly on names. It's sad to say, but I think that these bands are so consistent with each other as far as talent this year that I wouldn't be surprised if the band's "name" had some effect on their overall ranking. Quote
