She was drum major for Cedar Park for years, and for Crossmen too! so excited for this upcoming season...I hope this show can help us finally get up into the top bands... I thought Caitlin went to Vandegrift, not Cedar Park. Quote

Guest Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 I really would like to see James Madison come down to lone star preview. They'd be a great addition finals. Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 I will try to talk my director in to taking us there next year, but depending on how well we do this year, we might do 3 BOA contests next year. Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 So we might be low on budget, because we would probably be doing the Austin mcallen, and SA competitions on top of UIL regions and likely area, and rocket review which we do every year and then either Yamaha cup or texas marching classic. That would be a total of seven competitions, and that would would be the most we have done in a long time if not ever. Quote
Guest Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 On a usual year they'd probably slide into boa Conroe finals Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 You seriously think that @Cityscapes? Quote
Guest Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Yeah in a year like 2014 or 2015 they'd probably land around 10th-14th Quote

The schools around us are amazing beyond belief, and we are doing everything we can to be included in that discussion, I agree. Hutto has come a long way with their band. Good luck this year Quote

In 2013, Hutto placed 19 of 21 at Area, 2015 they were 13 of 25. That's already a huge improvement. Believe me, as I am a part of the program, we have grown immense amounts since 2015. Our band program is the 3rd largest, including 6A schools, in central Texas, we have finally gotten a good drill writer (The guy who writes for Crossmen and has written for CP and others), we are cutting down the drill, our show concept is quite cool in my opinion, and our staff and leadership team are ready to get us there. Yes I may sound crazy, as you may be thinking "oh it's just Hutto. They've never even made Area Finals or done anything notable", but just mark my words, we're here to make moves this year. Sorry for pulling up something old, but I feel you guys and New Braunfels REALLY got the short end of the stick this season. Both of you guys didn't make it into finals at TMC, especially New Braunfels? And Hutto placed 16 in Area D prelims? I thought Hutto's show was much more dynamic this year than previous years and really should have made it to finals in Area D. I'm not saying you guys were the greatest thing ever though I am sure you deserved better results. Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 I kind of feel really bad about Judson this year. We competed really close with them last year and it was so much fun, but this year they just kind of... Fell off. I saw them at their exhibition performance at Rocket Review and it hurt to see the change from last year to this year. I hope they recover next year and have a strong year. Quote

Judson placed second rather easily at the USBands competition in Round Rock last night. They looked pretty good to me. Maybe they pulled it together from when you saw them. Quote
