sike846 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Who do you think will make finals? How many bands are going to advance to state? Quote
ladybookworm Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 My early season predictions: Top 3 (in no order)- Aledo, Lake Ridge, Wakeland Next state contenders are Southwest, Centennial, Newman Smith I think in 2013, they advanced 4 bands, so it will probably be 4-5 bands advancing.

bingogooberman Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Following UIL competitions this weekend, it's looking like we can expect 5 bands to advance to state from this area with potentially 26 (pending Region 5 results) competitors. Aledo Centennial (Burleson) Cleburne Everman Granbury Southwest Western Hills Centennial (Frisco) Creekview Frisco Grapevine Heritage Independence Lake Dallas Liberty Little Elm Lone Star Newman Smith The Colony Wakeland --pending Region 5-- Birdville Juan Seguin Lake Ridge Legacy Summit Timberview Lots and lots of finalist contenders in this group. should be a tight, exciting contest Quote
aaron067 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 5A schools in Region 25 were moved into Area C two years ago to help equalize numbers, so the following schools will attend that contest instead: Lovejoy McKinney McKinney North Prosper Sherman Wylie Wylie East Quote
snares Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I honestly have no idea who will advance, but I'm expecting Aledo and Frisco Centennial to advance. Besides that, I have no idea SKB and FANaticof3 2 Quote

Looks like we're on par to have 5 advance at this point, which isn't too shabby either Quote
sike846 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 I'd venture this as a guess for finalists: Wakeland Lake Ridge Frisco Centennial Aledo Newman Smith Lone Star Southwest Summit Liberty Birdville FANaticof3 1 Quote
ladybookworm Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 At this point, it's looking like these bands will only get a prelims run. When does the schedule come out? Will there be a live blog covering the competition? Quote
SKB Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I'm hoping this won't be a repeat of 2013's rain out, with only Prelims. I'm also thinking Frisco Centennial, Wakeland, Aledo, Lake Ridge, and maybe Newman Smith for the 5 advancing to State. Quote

TX_Band Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 So what do they do if Saturday AND Sunday are a complete wash out? Saturday is not looking very good at all at this point and Sunday isn't a whole lot better. Quote
takigan Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Merged with the original Area B topic started by sike846 that got lost down the page earlier in the season. Quote
csd99 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Wakeland has been having an amazing year. I expect them to get first Saturday. After that, it'll be a toss up. Since finals results can't reliably be based on the season as a whole, I have no clue who will advance. Being part of MISD, I'm pretty familiar with the progress Legacy and Summit have made. Summit has been having a great season, surpassing Legacy. I know that Legacy has been having a pretty bad season thus far, which could be caused by the band being significantly smaller and the fact that they got a new band director. I still think Legacy has a decent shot at advancing. The only Mansfield school I have heard absolutely nothing about is Lake Ridge. Does anyone know how they've been doing? Quote
TX_Band Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I'm hearing that Area B has been moved to Monday. I would suspect this will happen in other areas as well. Quote
sike846 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Posted October 23, 2015 Yes, the Area B contest has been moved to Monday and the performance times are going to be the same. Quote

Lake Ridge is actually doing quite well. Legacy, Lake Ridge, and TImberview all have new head directors this year. Lake Ridge has improved drastically over the season, and have made it in the top 5 in each of their contests (Preview of Champions, Little Elm) and won first in the Wylie Marching Invitational. They are doing well considering all of the changes, and having a smaller group. They have a shot in advancing! Quote
band_junkie Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Is there a live feed available? I am out of town and am dying to watch the competition! Perhaps a website/forum that provides updates or reviews after each band? I need something LOL! FANaticof3 1 Quote
