Also, I happen to go to a James Madison here in SA. Quote
Xenon Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 There is a James Madison HS in Dallas. As far as other bands "in the city of Dallas", that really depends on what we are talking about. Dallas ISD? Dallas city borders but can be other ISD's? Dallas County? Dallas Metroplex? DFW Metroplex? Exurbs like Frisco, Denton, and McKinney? If we are just talking Dallas ISD, then Skyline is probably the best. The city of Highland Park is wholly surrounded by the city of Dallas as is pretty close to Downtown, so if we include them, then Highland Park is the best. If we want to talk ISDs where the HS campus happens to be within city of Dallas' borders, then Lake Highlands from Richardson ISD is also up there. HealBot03 and takigan 2 Quote

Richland finished 2nd to Marcus at HEB....beat Wakeland and Haltom there, too. In fact, Richland beat Haltom at HEB and St. Louis. Results last year HEB - 2nd Tournament of Champions (Carrollton) - 2nd Lone Star Preview (The Woodlands) - 1st BOA St Louis - 7th Quote
hippkerr Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 I agree with you. Guess Richland was just off my radar. Quote

Yeah....Richland had a couple of down years so I could see why they would fall off of the radar. They came back last year with a vengeance, though. Quote

I don't think Haltom has competed in any BOA in the past few years (correct me if I'm wrong), and Coppell's been pretty consistently beating them on the UIL side of things. Wakeland has been improving steadily over the past few years, and 2015 is still one of my favorite high school shows from the past few years. They dropped off DFW and SA finals because they had a completely new staff, but at DFW they still got 11. I just don't see either Haltom or Berkner, who placed 14 at DFW last year, rising above either Wakeland or Coppell. It really will be dependent on if the new staff at both Wakeland and Coppell can settle in this year and rebound from their drops last year. Given both bands' histories and performances over the last few years, I think they'll still both be above Haltom and Berkner. Also, I think Keller Central is going to have a great showing too, even potentially making finals. They've made DFW finals for the past two years now with some really entertaining shows. I know each year the competition gets more intense, but I wouldn't discount Keller Central from making finals. EDIT: Wow, for some reason I completely forgot what thread I'm in and thought this was BOA DFW predictions. My bad!!! I think some of the points I made can still stand, but wow- I feel dumb. Quote

I don't agree with the haltom thing . Haltom has been to servals boa outside of the state of Texas as well as Richland . Both of these bands are incredible . Do I agree with Richland being above . No but I do agree with both being better than coppell and wakeland . !! Just my opinion Quote

And if you looked at the scores both sister school were so very close to each other . Very impressed with them in past years and very excited what they bring to the table ! Both competing at broken arrow invitational and I believe haltom is attending boa Atlanta this year . We will see Quote

BUT I do think it is significant to point out that Coppell and Haltom go head to head every two years through UIL.... and Coppell is usually on top. I definitely agree with your point though about Richland and Haltom (and Coppell, and Wakeland) being incredible bands- I've really enjoyed all of their performances that I've seen live or on video.

My response was more about Richland being left off of a list of bands that they had beaten recently. Trust me, I know how close Haltom and Richland are in talent...both are at Broken Arrow and Mansfield this year so it will be great to see some head-to-head competition again. BISD is much better when all three bands are good....looks to be that way again this year!! Best of luck! Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Posted August 6, 2017 So I have been thinking. I have decided from here on out I want this thread to be rankings of schools based on competition analysis during the season, and during the off-season I want people to compare how the bands did in the recent season and how they have done historically to base their rankings. This goes into effect now. ccfan13 1 Quote
