cpb161 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Last thread I'll make for awhile, for anyone who wants to dicuss 3A state, here is the spreadsheet. Look at the bottom and click the 3A bands tab. All I know, is that whatever band wins this, they will be out of Region 4 (Or Whitesboro), Mineola, Queen City, New Diana, New Boston, Redwater, White Oak, Atlanta, and Winnsboro all exist in this region, and every single one can make state finals, and all but Winnsboro have been in state finals at least once since 2013. 2 have won state championships, multiple have been to the state finals in a larger conference. Easily the most brutal line up in an area, proportional to the conference. Quote
bxOxAxUIL Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Keep an eye out for Cameron Yoe... They're also going to come in strong. Quote
MikeKyu Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 This is going to be fun to watch. Being in SA to see my son's 5A band will allow us to catch up on the 3A scene. mack1313 1 Quote

bxOxAxUIL Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 I would like to say there are a lot of great programs out this year. Looks like it will be a good state year! Quote

I've heard Van Alstyne is pretty on fire this year, didn't make state in 2017. I see them placing well in finals, along with Holliday who won Area B and from what I can tell, is a MASSIVE 3A band this year. In the end though, I expect a full medal sweep from Area C. Mineola in 1st, and 2nd and 3rd being duked out between Queen City and Atlanta. The first two mentioned Area B bands being my dark horses to sneak into a medal, as well as Yoe. The bands I think that will appear in state finals, no particular order. Mineola Queen City Atlanta Redwater White Oak Van Alstyne Holliday Yoe Whitesboro Clifton or Howe, but going with Clifton, just thought Howe deserved mention. Quote

I don't know if judges take the level of difficulty in to consideration but what I saw at Region 8, Cameron Yoe may have everyone one beat on difficulty in drill along with music. Quote

Depends on the judge, clean difficulty will help though. (Edit: example, if two shows are so close together in cleanliness it’s hard to say who was better, but one band has a harder book, it’s safe to assume that band wins out) I’ve gotten to see Queen City in person and I can also assure they are not disappointing on difficulty. Atlanta won’t be playing around either- they’re a consistent 4A state finalist that recently dropped, and I haven’t seen the entire show from anything but the goal sidelines yet, but I’d be willing to assure they’re bringing a 4A finals show with them.

I’m pretty sure they’ve beaten most defending 4A state finalists throughout the season, with the only ones they haven’t beaten being Canton and North Lamar - and that was early season, things can change. I’m very willing to say Mineola could medal or even win 4A from 2018. That being said, I think it is as a whole a much better year for 3A than 2017 top to bottom. Quote
