hornn1 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Anyone have predictions for the Lone Star Preview? Quote
jmatthews Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Loose top 10: Spring Friendswood Dawson Stephen F. Austin Cy-Fair Brazoswood Clear Brook Pearland Westfield Bubble (No order): Tomball Clear Falls Alvin Seven Lakes Should be a great competition! Quote
titancoaster Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 ^those are close to what I would say except switch seven lakes and cy-fair. Last week cy-fair placed at Friendswood lower than clear brook, and Seven Lakes. Quote
jmatthews Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 How did Friendswood sound last week in their exhibition? And I appreciate your comments, titancoaster, I'm pretty much going by last year's results! Quote
vacon3` Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Dawson and Brazoswood have some of the same music in their shows this year. Should be interesting. Quote
titancoaster Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 In response to jmatthews, I work with Friendswood and do not want to come off biased or anything. While I will not state my predictions for our band, I will say that we have a strong group this year and I am excited to see how things turn out at this contest. Quote

Friendswood looked and sounded amazing as they always do. Quote

I think it will be interesting to see how Dawson does at Lone Star this year. According to last year's results, Dawson did not make finals? Wow, that is really surprising. I'm not from the Houston area, but I have heard it said that Dawson and Friendswood have a friendly "rivalry." Is that true? On a random note, will Spring be going to Grand Nationals this year? Quote

I think there is a bit of a rivalry. I haven't noticed anything negative. More a matter of two competitive 4A schools in the same area. Dawson is in it's 7th year (I believe) in existence. Friendswood had been established as a quality program for some time and set the bar very high. Dawson has established a quality program in a relatively short amount of time. Competition is good! It makes everyone work harder. Quote

jmatthews Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I watched Friendswood perform this weekend at the Galena Park Marching Festival. Their show design, marching, and music in the first two movements are especially excellent. However, their final movement is very raw and probably just put onto the field. For that reason, I do not see them winning Lone Star Preview this week, but I do believe they will be in contention by the UIL State Marching Contest. Quote
Baredex Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Langham creek got first in musical performance at galena park but there individual marching wasn't as good I think they will make top 10 at lone star Quote
flamingindianbigvij Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I agree with baredex our indiviual marching is not the best but we have an amazing show and we sound amazing(most of the time).yes i think langham creek can atleast make finals Quote
titancoaster Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Langham Creek got first in 5A in music performance at Galena Park, Frindswood beat them in tht caption by over 200 points (out of 2000). Can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store for everybody. Here is to no rain until after finals! Quote
vacon3` Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 `TOP 5: Brazoswood Westfield S F Austin Spring Dawson Quote
