I'm gonna go ahead and say Vista deserves most improved, because.... wow.

 

Coppell is my vote for best percussion out of any band I've seen this season. That tenor feature is so tasty, and the pit absolutely kills it as well.

^^^^ I agree with all of the above, except Timber Creek being “underrated”. They have been great and as a result they have been mentioned/hyped plenty of times. Generally the DFW bands get talked about a lot. The amount of pages for the 6A Area B thread is testament to that.

I filled in all the ones I could remember but left some blank.  I would like to add one more category:  Best prop that unintentionally trapped the judges: LD Bell...noticed several times they got stuck between the ramp and the band and could not escape through the pit like they usually do.  That was fun to watch!!

Any disputes with Dan can be settled quickly with a bag of warm Tender Rolls.
