jmatthews Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 The state qualifiers were: Friendswood Dawson Tomball Memorial Barbers Hill jmatthews 1 Quote
B-MAN2BA Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 The four bands that are advancing to State are: 1. Friendswood 2. Dawson 3. Tomball Memorial 4. Barber's Hill jmatthews 1 Quote
jmatthews Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Predictions for Area F schools at state? I think Friendswood in top 5, Dawson in top 10, Tomball Memorial 11-15, and Barber's Hill 16+ jmatthews 1 Quote
Lowreedsalltheway Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 I agree with that. Do you think friendswood could medal? Quote
jmatthews Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Yes, I definitely think Friendswood could medal. I would lean towards 2-3, but one does not know that for certain. After all, Vista Ridge did beat Cedar Park at Area D. Quote
Lowreedsalltheway Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 Very true. Although I think Cedar Park can bounce back an take it all this year. Quote
Westandalone Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I wouldnt count dawson out of anything! the scores were quite close between them and friendswood, and with a week of cleaning for both of them, who knows! Area F shall dominate state! Quote
tubadude222 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I wouldn't count Dawson out of the top 5 because they have been right behind Friendswood, and 4/5 times beat them in ensemble music. And Dawson was also only 1 point away from winning area F, the scores being 1,2,2,1,1 for Friendswood, and 1,1,2,2,2 for Dawson. Both of these bands have amazing shows and have a chance to really dominate. I might be slightly biased since I am also a Dawson student. Quote
jmatthews Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I would argue that Friendswood's music is harder than Dawson's. I do think your argument is slightly biased since Friendswood has more room for improvement in the category of music. However, I never counted out Dawson as a contender for top 5. bentleyr08 1 Quote
Lowreedsalltheway Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 It really could go either way with friendswood topping Dawson or vice versa. Should be exciting to watch it play out Quote
Popular Post titancoaster Posted October 27, 2013 Popular Post Posted October 27, 2013 And not true about Dawson always beating Friendswood in Music, Prelims in Area F all music Judges had Friendswood placed above Dawson. jmatthews, kjf98 and Bulldog257 3 Quote
stoli Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Congratulations to the top 4 bands. I look forward to seeing you all at state!! Quote

I do think your argument is slightly biased since Friendswood has more room for improvement in the category of music. However, I never counted out Dawson as a contender for top 5. Every band has room for improvement in music as well as visual, so what you are saying is inconsequential because it comes down to who executes their music and their drill better. Not saying Friendswood music is harder or isn't harder than Dawson's, but they wont get more credit for it if they cant execute it as well as Dawson can execute their music. In this case Friendswood has consistently executed their drill better while Dawson has consistently executed their music better(except for once in area F pre-lims). I would also say that your comment is also biased. stoli and ahuang352 2 Quote
jmatthews Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I am not from Friendswood, nor do I live there. I was just trying to be diplomatic. I was just say it flat out: I think Friendswood has and will execute their show better than Dawson at the State Contest. Quote
EternalFlame Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Guys, calm down. There's no reason for a feud here. Can we just agree that they're both excellent band programs who have the potential to do extremely well at state? Quote
Aaaaa Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I am a Friendswood guy so I can't really offer any unbiased predictions on state, but i can say that anyone who tries to insult Dawson or Friendswood just hasn't seen these bands. They have two amazing shows that are two completely different styles. Dawson's brass plays incredibly beautiful on the ballad type music, while Friendswood jam packs their show wth fast music and fast marching. stoli 1 Quote
stoli Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Tomball Memorial was very impressive. It is a young program from what I understand. I see them becoming a strong contender in area F. I did not get to see Barber's Hill, but I am thrilled for them. It is very exciting to see area F sending 4 bands to state this year. Of course I want our band to come out on top, i am a band mom after all, but I am looking forward to our area being represented well at state and am pulling for all four bands!, The competition will be tough so focus on being your best and don't get caught up in the rivalry nonsense. A good rivalry works to motivate, but if taken too far, can become a distraction. So my advise is rise above the nonsense and work hard to be your best. All of you should be very proud - enjoy it!!!

rocketfan86 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I had Friendswood, Dawson, and Tomball Memorial advancing to state but was very surprised at Barbers Hill. They have been 3A for a long time and moved up to 4A back in 2007 i think. They made the state marching band contest twice in 1998 and 2000 as 3A. They had a nice clean James Bond show but didn't expect them to make the finals much less state. I was disappointed Lumberton didn't make it. I saw all the Area F bands yesterday and Lumberton had one of the largest crowd reactions of the contest behind Dawson and Friendswood. Too bad there wasn't 25+ bands at the contest. Congratulations to all the advancing bands from Area F. One other thing, I was trying to record all the prelims but i couldn't get a clear video of Friendswood. Some over-exhuberant parent was waving miniature flags and couldn't find a good shot around her and ending up missing a good part of Friendswood's opener. Quote

jmatthews Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Tomball Memorial HS: This link will get you to their Area F performance. The other Area F advancers are also in this playlist. calebbw 1 Quote
