takigan Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Just watched Lake Ridge. Clocked their closer at 185-190 BPM and their drum feature at 190-195 BPM. The last 2-3 minutes HAULS!

TX_Band Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Frisco Wakeland - Area B I believe. http://youtu.be/CNyY5qtaPWk
Texas Band Member Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Who do you think will be the four to move on from Area B?
bandnerd2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I'm thinking Wakeland, Legacy, Frisco, and possibly Lake Ridge? It's actually hard to say... You can't forget about Birdville, Aledo, and Newman Smith.

Popular Post Texas Band Member Posted October 24, 2013 Popular Post Posted October 24, 2013 I think "Frisco" is meaning Centennial. LHSax, abcd123 and bandnerd2013 3
bandnerd2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 YES! haha I'm sorry! I meant Centennial.

jmatthews Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Area F Predictions: Advancing to State: 1. Friendswood HS 2. Tomball Memorial HS 3. Dawson HS 4. Huntsville HS (Military!) On the Bubble: Willis HS, Galena Park HS (Advanced in 2009), Vidor HS
Popular Post titancoaster Posted October 25, 2013 Popular Post Posted October 25, 2013 Galena Park got a Second Division rating and will not be at Area, also Fwood and Dawson will take top two, both are musically well above Tomball Memorial (who will probably be third). I am very interested to see how this area pans out as it is drastically different then two years ago when they sent two and had no finals. bancl, jmatthews and takigan 3
takigan Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I didn't get the impression from watching Vidor's show that they were their usual exemplary military selves (Vidor has had one of the more consistently impressive military shows in East Texas for awhile). I just don't think this is their year. This is Tomball's first year as a 4A now that Memorial has all 4 grades. They consistently get first divisions at UIL, even when they were 5A, which is more than I can say for many of these new faces at Area. So I think they're on the bubble. Montgomery also consistently makes 1s, and they had a very good run at Region. I think they'll be in finals and on the bubble as well. Lumberton placed 3rd in class 4A at Galena Park behind Friendswood and Tomball Memorial (and ahead of many of the bands that will be at this contest)....I think they are on the bubble, and also my personal pick for #4.

bancl Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I think the only spot that is predictable is Tomball Memorial taking 3rd. Anyone could grab the 4th spot. It will be interesting between Friendswood and Dawson for the top spot. Friendswood had the better visual performance at the Dickinson contest last week, and Dawson had the best musical scores. I'm sure both schools have been cleaning like crazy this week, so I can't wait to see what they do this weekend and at State. *They also play each other in football tonight!
swaggyboii Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Lake Ridge does happen to be quite a strong competitor. They have some of the hardest drill I've seen.
nicktheclarinetguy Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Lake Ridge has incredibly hard drill. Their drill writer does a fannnnnnnnnnntastic job. There are definitely things they can fix, but I have faith that they will make it to state. T.Stechnij 1
bandnerd2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Are you two from Lake Ridge? lol Bandnerd12 1
nicktheclarinetguy Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Yes. We both are. It's our first state year in the school's history, so we're excited.
bandnerd2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 As you should be. Your directors must be proud.
Texas Band Member Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I love how they both talked in 3rd person about their band! Best of luck at area! nicktheclarinetguy 1
nicktheclarinetguy Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Thank you. Good luck to your band as well.
jmatthews Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Edit: The bands advancing to state (in no particular order) from Area F are Friendswood, Dawson, Tomball Memorial, and Barbers Hill.
Tehface Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 The bands from Area C that are advancing in no particular order are; Sherman, Forney, Poteet, Waxahachie and Wylie. Cgrad01 1
