I agree . That’s why I based mine off of region 31 and football games and I haven’t see far schools like duncanville and stuff . So I don’t think really prediction can be made until after prelims Saturday

Predictions can’t even be made then.....anything could

Change prelims finals in this area

Honestly you are right . Nothing is safe with this area and none of us really knows what is gonna happen until 10 something on Saturday. Like really as I think about it prediction can’t be made cause it’s so stacked . We really just gotta wait and see and watch and enjoy . Like it’s honestly real crazy and scary to think about

Just curious, have you seen all of these bands, or just going by what you have heard?  

 

oh wait...you weren't supposed to @ them.   

 

(BTW I find this new "don't @ me" trend to be ridiculous.  If you don't want people to comment on what you say, then DON'T SAY ANYTHING!).

to be fair, they could have been saying "don't come at me" but I always think they are saying, "don't comment on my comment."  But I'm old so I get stuff wrong a lot.

It’s more of a joke these days to say “don’t @ me”.

Seriously, I thought that meant "don't come at me" for it too, guess I'm not forum savvy enough, LOL.  (Sorry Bandfamo!) 

 

And I was just asking a question, I'm more curious as I haven't seen very many of the bands except Plano East, Plano Senior, and Prosper and Carroll.   I saw bits and pieces of other shows thru FloMarching, but it's so different live. 

 

I do think it was a good list, with the exception of PESH not being on it     But honestly, without seeing all of these bands

I really have no idea how PESH will fair because I have nothing to really compare it to.    I am happy PESH will perform 

towards the end of the day in Prelims just for the fact they have a really fun show!      But they, like everyone, needed

to do a bit of cleaning this week!

I was just noticing, the Area B thread is about 6 pages less then the BOA San Antonio 2018 thread 22 pages to 28 pages. 
If we find something else to debate about, maybe we can win the "page count" on the forums     

 

(at least until BOA SA takes place

Most of these bands don't have any videos up, and the ones that do are at least a month old.  If you haven't seen it live and don't have any sort of recent video to go off of, I don't see how anyone could make even a somewhat accurate prediction.  It's seems more like these lists are based on past years, hearsay, and "hype".

This 100%.

 

I have seen most of these bands live, but it has been 2-3 weeks for most of them. I have seen some live as recently as a few days ago.

 

I have ZERO clue what is going to happen at this Area other than the fact that there will likely be perennial Finalists who don't make Finals (not because they are doing any worse) and/or perennial State Advancers that won't advance to State (again, not for doing any worse).

 

This area is just 245% nuts. I mean, look at that 2nd block of Prelims!!!

 

NOBODY is safe in this Area. You need to have your absolute best performance in Prelims just to have a shot at making Finals and you need to be perfect again in Finals just to have a shot at Advancing. This Area leaves absolutely zero margin for a slightly off run. You could go from 1st in Prelims to not advancing to State in a heartbeat.

You know what I’ve made a completely different take on the area b results

 

1. DeSoto

2. South Grand Prairie

 

 

..... the rest is pretty much a toss up.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if Keller or the historic schools like Bell, Duncanville, and Coppell don’t make finals

I can’t tell if it’s fr ? Or just messing around .

You make fun of them, but they actually both have really cool shows. Desoto has one of the best show concepts I’ve ever seen.

Honestly why would someone say that’s . Like it’s not fun. It’s not funny . Is disrespectful and rude .

You’re absolutely right. I’m sorry if I offended anyone. It was very disrespectful of me and I just forget that all these band programs work really hard. Just making it to area is a huge accomplishment.

[LostChoirGuy]

I haven't seen either of DeSoto or South Grand Prairie this year, but both of those bands are actually pretty good. In most any other area we would be talking about them as potential finalists.

That is true they definitely could be a finalist at any other area

Just ask a Hendrickson member from 2014.

[eeman0201]

Lol whoops put Keller twice instead of Timber Creek on my prediction.

[Brassy]

Well, I would be interested to know how many practices, prelims, and performances were canceled for each of the bands. Could this crazy weather have an effect on the outcome Saturday? It has certainly been hit or miss with different contests.

Yep. Trust me those placements are 100% correct. In fact, here's a FloMarching video with Timber's director where she even confirms this (skip to 4:18):

If that's not enough take it from personal experience as a former member. So proud of these guys and how far they've come.

I had no reason to doubt it based on what I could remember. However, I have seen others post a few "alternative facts" on here lately. Trust but verify always made sense to me, particularly on the internet.

 

As for Timber Creek, they are one of my candidates for most improved in the three previous years. Waxahachie is the other. Saturday night we'll find out if it's enough.

 

I hear a couple more bands have improved enough to have their supporters excited and confident.

Haha no worries, no offense was taken. I know precisely what you mean. Guess we will just have to see how things play out on Saturday!
