I wish Brownsville Lopez was still in 6A

I could be mistaken but I thought Harlingen was like the Duncanville of south texas- consistently making state?

[FEDude]

That's what I always thought too. They're always 1st or 2nd at area. I haven't heard from them this year. Maybe something is different

They had another band director (Ronnie Rios) who now oversees Area G band. 

[TRBbaritone]

The past few years since the director change Harlingen has been having a harder time. At Area in 2018, they were 10th in prelims and made a huge jump to 5th in finals, the last band to advance to state. At State, they were 40th out of 41, their lowest placement yet. The show is looking good this year so they have a good chance at finals.
