PSHSMom Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 I didn't see a topic yet for 6A Area C. Here are the bands I have competing: Region 25 Plano East Plano Senior Plano West Wylie Allen Region 24 McKinney Little Elm McKinney Boyd Prosper Region 21 Tyler Legacy Region 3 Rowlett Sachse Mesquite North Mesquite North Garland Garland Lakeview Centennial Rockwall Heath John Horn Rockwall Naaman ForestRegion 2 Lewisville Braswell Eaton Hebron Marcus Flower Mound Byron Nelson Guyer I think the obvious is Flower Mound, Marcus and Hebron as top 3 into state, I guess we could send 4 or 5 to state, who would be the other 2? Other finals contenders? Wylie Prosper Sachse Plano East McKinney I just don't know enough about the other bands to say yes or no. Quote

Tubalord11 Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 I think 1-FlowerMound 2/3 Marcus and Hebron 4 and 5 will be prosper and McKinney, possibly Wylie VinoGirl 1 Quote
slowbrass Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Am I crazy to think Byron Nelson has a shot? They had a nice sound last night, but they’d have some serious visual cleaning to do. Quote
peshbandkid Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Flo Mo, Hebron, and Marcus are for all practical purposes state locks. Other spots are a tossup between Wylie, McKinney, John Horn, Plano East, Prosper, and Sachse. Any combination could happen PSHSMom and FloMoParent 2 Quote

Lost a lot of members due to covid. I think Prosper is a very safe bet for 4th but weirder things have happened. Rockwall and Sachse were placed next to eachother last night at Birdville. Quote
PSHSMom Posted October 26, 2021 Author Posted October 26, 2021 Is anyone here going to be there when they announce the finalist for Area C? Just trying to see the fastest way to figure out if I am going to attend since it's a bit of a drive to get there from Plano. I can't make it during the day but might talk my husband into going if any of the Plano bands make it into finals (Well PSHS or PESH since I've had kids in both ) . I figure it's my last chance to see them all play this year (at least in person!). LeanderMomma 1 Quote
WILKINSON Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Does anyone know if the draw for finals performance order is random? Or do they split it with the top scoring bands performing last? I want to attend this contest to see Flower Mound one last time in person (Since I won’t be attending Grand Nats 😭) but I get off of work at 6:30pm on Saturday, I live an hour away from Mesquite and don’t know if I would make it in time if Flower Mound were to perform first in finals at 7:30.

Expand Well it's not live and not from this year, but here is their show from 2019-Marienette (my youngest was a junior, unfortunately not much marching was done in 2020!) https://youtu.be/JuM3EHTjgX0 I never knew Plano went to State. I know since my kids have been in school PESH is really the best marching band in Plano but for many years PSHS just stopped going to area and just competed in regionals. I like their show this year (which was supposed to be last years show) and they improved greatly between the PESH Invitational and UIL regionals, but not sure if it is enough to get them into finals, but I can hope!

Some great kids, wish Plano could grow the band culture more, compete in BOA, etc., lots of talent and potential! Go Plano Wildcat Band! PSHS class of 80 (Trombone).

WILKINSON Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Will anyone be at this contest for prelims? Or is there a way to find out the schedule for finals before 7:30pm? Quote
Popular Post MBBandMama Posted October 30, 2021 Popular Post Posted October 30, 2021 Newbie here! Been lurking this whole season, but only just made an account. Hello everyone! I’ll be there in and out all day. My son’s a percussionist with McKinney Boyd. Not sure if we will make the finals (I’m hopeful!), but I might stay for them either way.

There is no reason why they can't be competitive at the size they are. They are putting shows on the field with designs that would be impossible for a smaller sized band. Instead of trying to do what everyone else does, just at larger scale, they are using their size as an asset. LeanderMomma 1 Quote
