Fanboy Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 I think Spring Hill is still doing a military show. It was military drill and marches. Just happened to use marimbas and xylos. rocketfan86 1 Quote

I do believe they will make state though! Expand I rewatched their performance from a week ago but I'd still say they are marching military style. In fact, their show design looks similar to the times they qualified for 4A state competition. Unless they are doing something drastically different between their region contest to area, they are still marching 6-5 with some well-known marches + some interesting percussion feature with a pit and showcasing their woodwinds for some technical runs. Here is an archive of the 1A, 2A, 4A, 5A contest from Region 4 back on October 12. https://c.streamhoster.com/embed/media/WasBNW/OkdiSASLs2B/r/kgas10122021 Their performance is around the 6 hour 3 minute mark.

Cherish4 Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Thank you for sharing their performance. Interesting that they didn’t go to the military competition. Quote
yayband914 Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 I know there are still a couple bands left to go in prelims but if anyone on here is there I’d definitely appreciate seeing results! Quote
bandboosterdad Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Waiting on Drum Majors to take the field to find out who goes to finals tonight! BandMark and yayband914 2 Quote

North Lamar Lumberton Splendora Little Cypress Mauriceville Livingston Paris Liberty-Eylau Spring Hill Pleasant Grove Bridge City Expand These were pretty much the bands I expected to make finals. I did not expect my alma mater to make finals. There a lot of strong bands in 10 and 4. Splendora is an interesting newcomer. Quote

Cherish4 Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Any predictions based on prelim performances? Quote
J-Mike16 Posted October 30, 2021 Author Posted October 30, 2021 The only band I saw a video of was Lumberton. That run was the best in over 2 weeks Quote
Ltowndad Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 North Lamar’s finals performance was awesome as usual. Lumberton kicked it up a notch. Best sound they have had all year. It could be close. J-Mike16 1 Quote
J-Mike16 Posted October 31, 2021 Author Posted October 31, 2021 Finals Results 10th - Livingston 9th - Liberty-Eylau 8th - Splendora 7th - Pleasant Grove 6th - LCM (State Alt) ADVANCING TO STATE 5th- Spring Hill 4th - Lumberton 3rd - Bridge City 2nd - Paris 1st - North Lamar Quote
Howdy08 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Two years in a row that LCM has missed out on state by one spot. That is tough. Surprised by Paris’ strong finish. No surprise that North Lamar continues to own this area. Bridge City continues to make strides as a band program. Lumberton has one of the best sounds, but their show was a little meh, particularly compared to the visuals of years past from them. Quote
rocketfan86 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Cool, the military band that went open class made the state! J-Mike16 1 Quote

Expand I know they went through a director change, which is always tough. Hopefully they don’t lose their mojo as a program. They need to improve marching fundamentals to have a chance at finals at state. Their guard was also much smaller than I remember. Quote
Howdy08 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 https://www.smbc.uiltexas.org/area/results/files/area-21_4A Area C.pdf full results. Interesting that Prelim standings were North Lamar , Lumberton, Bridge City, Splendora, and Paris. Quote
bandboosterdad Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Congratulations to those bands advancing to State. Special shout-out to Lumberton and Bridge City. Good job. I know y’all will represent southeast Texas well at State!! Quote

I LOVED the show and thought it 100% deserved State! Quote
Cherish4 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 How did Splendora drop from 3rd to 8th? I didn’t get to see their finals performance, but couldn’t believe there was such a big difference. Quote
Howdy08 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 On 10/31/2021 at 6:14 PM, Cherish0708 said: I don’t know of any leadership who has dropped out. I do know there has been issues and probably threats of that. But they were able to pull things together despite of the conflicts and new band director. There seem to be several middle school guard members so hopefully they can build their guard team back up to previous years numbers. I’m sure next year Lumberton will be moving up to 5A which will be a new set of challenges, but hopefully they can pull off another Above and Beyond performance like in 2017 when they were in 5A. Expand I deleted my post that quoted what appear to be false rumors quoted on here. Lumberton is one of my favorite bands to watch in 4A as they usually pick entertaining music and play it dang well. The Watermelon Sugar part of their show yesterday was the best sound at Area in my opinion. I hope they make finals at state this year. I hope they are able to build their guard back up to the size and quality it was pre covid years. Also, with the enrollment numbers Lumberton reported on Friday, they should remain in 4A and continue to be one of, if not the largest 4A, in the state. They are positioning themselves to be a top 5 band program in 4A if they stay on their trajectory. Quote

I didn’t get to see their finals performance, but couldn’t believe there was such a big difference. Expand I was wondering the same thing. It’s always tough for a band that finishes top 5 in prelims and then misses the state cut in finals. Four of the five finalists were also top five in prelims. Quote
J-Mike16 Posted October 31, 2021 Author Posted October 31, 2021 I apologize for the incorrect information I put on here. The band means so much to me and I know the future is so bright for this program. They are truly the Mighty Raider Band and will continue to impress all who sees them. Quote
