cburkhalter Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Region 20 Desoto 1 Duncanville 1 Irving 1 Nimitz 1 S. Grand Prairie 1 Waxahachie 1 Grand Prairie is also listed in the contest, but no rating was given. I'm pretty sure Grand Prairie received a 2...could be wrong though.

Brassy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I did not see them at the contest and they aren't on the list of scores. Let me tell you, the field conditions were rough. I'm sure it made everything more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandisdope Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So now assuming that only 5 go through, here are my predictions: 1. Keller 2. LD Bell 3. Timber Creek 4. Coppell 5. Prosper 6. Waxahachie 7. Haltom 8. Keller Central 9. Richland 10. Duncanville Keller - Pretty much a lock. Always doing well and this year is going even better. LD Bell - Strong band with great players. Cant seem them out of state this year despite maybe not an optimal BOA Dallas finish. Timber Creek - Early lead over Coppell must feel great. Young band with lots of potential to make State Finals. Coppell - When have they not made state finals? Should've definitely placed higher at BOA Dallas, and will be itching with redemption. Prosper - Great band great show. Grand Nationals should set them up for a nice finals approach, and they are looking strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXWestside Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Let's not forget that BOA and UIL are scored much differently, so if certain bands placed higher than others in BOA competitions this doesn't necessarily mean they will place higher at Area. Waxa, Bell, Coppell, and even Duncanville have historically always done VERY well in the UIL Scoring system. Of course, those scores, particularly the music and visual scores, help us gauge more or less where everyone is at but I would still take them with a grain of salt. Personal predictions: 1. Keller 2. Prosper 3. Coppell 4. Bell 5. Waxahachie 6. Timber Creek 7. Duncanville 8. Haltom 9. Plano East 10. Keller Central Bandisdope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richland or Plano east . This is after listening to a few groups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbcBand2019 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I heard Martin show is really good across the board but I don’t see them doing well. Mansfield is a big underdog in my opinion, I can see them shocking a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeman0201 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Just looked at the Area B results from 2016. How are Martin and Mansfield doing this year? I believe they have an equal shot for finals with the bottom 1-3 in most people’s lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmj Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 The only lock is Keller. Would not be surprised if they have 1st place ordinals across the board. Everything else is up in the air. And, as usually happens at Area, I imagine we'll see some big changes in placements between prelims and finals. Xenon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bancl Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Considering that this is a UIL event, groups like Coppell, Duncanville, and Waxahachie need to be taken very seriously. Great bands that march and play really well are the ones that get rewarded. Don't be surprised of some of these historically successful groups place higher than some of the up and coming groups like Prosper, Timber Creek, Haltom, or even Keller.

Keller does better at UIL than BOA, we’ve seen that year over year. I can’t make any good predictions because I’ve been to three competitions in various weather states and not been able to see most of the bands in this area. But I think Keller is good. Prosper can be very good if the 4 minutes of performance I saw at HEB continues throughout the rest of their show. L.D. Bell is good, just some pacing and design things to work out. I’ve yet to see Timber, Coppell, Richland, Duncanville, Martin, etc. I think this Area will only take 5 bands. And I will hopefully be at the Area competition to enjoy all of the great bands.

meursault Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 pretty sure it's 5 max at this point, i believe someone got a 2 earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
principalagent Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 If I'm not mistaking the standing number was 30 going into this weekend. One band would bust it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChoirGuy Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Opinions based on what I have seen (now that I got to see Richland and Trinity perform). I still haven't seen Haltom, Mansfield, or Plano East. 1. Keller 2. LD Bell 3. Coppell 4. Waxahachie 5. Timber Creek 6. Prosper 7. Duncanville 8. Richland 9. Haltom 10. Keller Central 11. Plano East 12. Trinity 13. Martin 14. Mansfield 15. Carroll I could go on, but I think top 15 is probably good enough. That 5th/6th spot was really tough to decide. Timber Creek has looked very good this year but I also haven't seen either show for several weeks and it would not surprise me to see Prosper pass up Timber Creek in UIL.

Just found a video of haltom from the game last night on Facebook if your interested . If you look up haltom football broadcast on Facebook the band plays at 1 hour and 21 minutes . They have the football dad talking over a lot but it was still nice to watch and see how they are doing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it was hard to tell a lot about the music with it being muffled and talked over some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
