Geez, enough with the Whataburger hype. They haven't even won a contest this season. Super overrated.

I thought they won Texas fast food classic?

They just won cause of their historical name. The judges are sooooo biased. I even heard one of them was from corpus.

[Percmom21]

Bueno would be my first choice there, but hubby doesn't care for mexican food so Whataburger it would be for us!

You guys are forgetting last year's winner. (Chik-fil-A)

Wow, thanks for all of the parking and restaurant info.  I should be good!    I know I have probably been in that area before (my MIL lives not too far away),  but I couldn't remember specifics.    

 

Taking a break from food rankings to post something I forgot to about actual logistics.

 

Shuttle is prelims only from the Legacy Church of Christ parking lot from 10a - 6p (8801 Mid Cities Blvd, North Richland Hills, TX 76182)

Also, this event is CASH AND CHECK ONLY. No credit cards will be accepted. $3 for students 6-17, $5 adults, under 6 is free

Thank you!     Now my dilemma will be whether to wear something to support Plano Senior  or Plano East!    I've had one graduate from each      I think last time I might have actually 

brought a change of clothes...   is that weird?

Just sew them together like a crazy person.

One other stadium question.    I think when I look at the stadium home side they have seats with backs and not bleachers.  Is that true?   Or are the chairs with backs just in the very center with regular bleachers on the side?

Looks like it is just the center section that has seat backs.

Oh my word, you guys are killing me with the restaurant comments. Is there anything we band parents won’t turn into a competition?

That’s what I was going to suggest. Cut both in half down the middle and sew them together. I would TOTALLY do it for you if you lived close by.

Daniel, everything with you is #GrandSnactionals.

Now that is an event that I could support!

[Rudedog34]

Seating capacity at event stadiums. Number of steps to the top row. Elevator to press box or no. Entrance and exits to field. Dimensions of jumbo tron.

Bush's, Golden Chick or Chick Fi La. Sweet tea or no.

 

We could debate it all, but in the end ALL the bands performances trump anything we could root out to discuss.

[LeanderMomma]

If anyone attending this contest has a little time to kill and loves Mexican food, there’s a fabulous little sit down restaurant called Anna’s Mexican Grill in a strip mall off Cheek-Sparger Rd, about 7 miles from the stadium.

[Brassy]

I ❤️ Band Parents! Come Saturday, I will cheer and clap for all those kids who have worked so hard, but my fingers will be crossed for my beloved Spirit of Waxahachie! Good Luck and clean runs!

Yes, only the section that sits on the 50 yard line is seat with backs- 45 yard line to 45 yard line. We typically bring in our stadium seats and don't even try to sit there lol

What a riot! Thank you, everyone. Our collective sense of humor and community has been restored. In keeping with the new theme I'd like to remind everyone the rankings have completely overlooked one group that always seems to be in the thick of the battle, so I did some research. They have advanced to the SMBC every year for as long as records have been kept.

 

The Concession Stand!

 

This is likely an important fundraiser for somebody's band program. Please spend some money there too. I know you will.

Exactly!  Buy all the food!

Everyone is sleeping on Andy’s! Just because they only do custard and not other food doesn’t mean they can’t win.

 

Sure we all know UIL values a wide range of options, but I think Andy’s can finally steal a state spot and upset a perineal state participant.

 

In other band news, go marching bands.

I think it's BOA that prefers lots of options and UIL tends to focus on a couple things. If I'm correct it could work in Andy's favor this weekend.

I can’t believe not one person has mentioned Starbucks this season. They are so bold and so innovative. Not to mention the incredible aroma they produce. Very underestimated this year in my book.
