Guest Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Wylie East and Lone Star are locks. Lebanon Trail has a great shot but I haven't heard as much this year. Quote
principalagent Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 I think we still head to a Leander ISD threepeat, but I’m shakier on the prediction than I had been. There’s a lot of good band in 5A this year. Wakeland of course is happy to play spoiler to LISD’s fun, and this year is far from an exception. Not to mention Weiss and Johnson attempting to make an impact on their way to 6A next season. Not sure who else could make a meaningful challenge up top. Lone Star is very clean, Forney’s show has wheels (the design caption should treat them favorably), and Highland Park could be anywhere. VinoGirl and propsquaddad 2 Quote

Expand What about Lovejoy? They’ve beaten LT and Wylie East, and the new judging system looks like it could favor them over LT, who got 8th at McKinney with this new judging system yesterday. Quote

Not 100% this is it but I’m fairly sure. They use this type of scoring at the McKinney marching contest on Saturday Wendy41899 1 Quote

Tubalord11 Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 Are there 12 finalist still this year? Quote

Expand I believe it depends on the number of state qualifiers. If there are 20-29 bands, there will be 10 bands in finals. For 30-39 bands, it's 12 bands in finals. And 40 or more, it's 14 bands in finals. Quote

LeanderMomma Posted October 15, 2021 Author Posted October 15, 2021 I think I’m going to have to get to San Antonio two days early so I can at least attend 5A state finals.

I have not seen Lone Star or Forney's show, However, Forney has a curse trying to make it to the finals at State. Highland Park is the BIG unknown here. Quote

Expand So, to clarify this post.... I was thinking this was the Area H thread when I posted that. As for State - I think an LISD sweep is entirely possible, but I think Wakeland and Highland Park will both push to break into the medals. Should be a really interesting Finals.

jmj Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 I really think Wakeland will be in the medals. IMO, they were even underscored at the very competitive BOA 2 weeks ago. There’s something about the music (loved The River Cam since Leander played it in Color Study), theme, and all the wave-y energy in the drill that just grabs you. Quote
