Wylie East swapped this show with the Prosper regional.

I’ve seen most videos of bands going, but I still can’t find a Hebron video. Does anyone have a link to one? Thanks!

Coppell is continuing their upward trajectory. They sound outstanding. Absolutely amazing flute soloist! They don't look too bad, either. Just some typical early season dirt.

[josephbandfan]

The only DFW bands i've heard/seen anything of is Keller, KC, Flower Mound, and LD Bell 😩

their opening movement is straight up the best thing i've heard so far this season in terms of music performance. huge, rich, sonorous, controlled brass sound. great intonation, great clarity, dynamic. and that flute soloist is just awesome. that's Texas musicianship right there.

scary thing is that they may not win music performance here given the competition. y'know, Hebron and such. hahaha.

Love seeing this hype for a group more than fully capable of reaching even a higher trajectory than they have been ascending towards the past few years!! I’m game for an upset of the typical LISD domination of DFW competitions! We’ll just have to see what everyone else brings to the table too👀👀

[Tubalord11]

There’s a vid of Coppell post game show on YouTube.

 

Got to the second movement and immediately recognized the music but couldn’t remember what it was from unti the tuba Feature…. THERE IS NO FREAKING WAY!!! I’m not gonna spoil what it’s from but I’m so pumped to see this!!!

[MikeKyu]

Has anyone seen Lebanon Trail yet this season? They are going to be a force soon enough. They were very solid last year.

I’ll be revising it as it gets closer as well. 

[sogeg]

Well, I guess I'll get started with my personal predictions. For some background, I am a Keller alum ('22) and I haven't seen too much of any of these bands aside from Keller, so this is mostly guesswork based on last season and what I have heard pre-season. I am gonna be making the trip from my college down to see this contest.

1-2. Hebron and Flower Mound- No real surprises here, since these two have traded this regional since 2013. Personally I give Hebron a slight edge based on last year, but I've always been a sucker for their shows and FloMo tends to have a very strong product in the early season.

3-4. Marcus and Coppell- Again, no surprises- these two were in the top 5 at State and with Coppell's uphill climb I could see them taking the medal from Marcus. I still give a slight edge to Marcus due to the strength of their program in the early season, but I would love to be proven wrong.

5. Keller- After last year's fairly tame show, I am definitely excited for this one. They definitely seem to be going in the right direction, GE-wise. I don't have much context for the other bands, but I would imagine they are pretty solidly in 5th. With a good run, they might be able to jump to 4th, but in true Keller fashion, the show is definitely planned to peak late-season.

6-10. Timber Creek, L.D. Bell, Waxahachie, Southlake Carroll, Wakeland- While I feel fairly confident about the top 5, these next 5 will be all over the place. It's really hard to predict how this will end up- I could see Timber in 6th just as easily as I could see them in 10th, and the same goes for every band I have in this caption. I am definitely expecting this to be tight, with all of these band fighting for their spot in the top half.

11-12. Lone Star, Aledo, Highland Park- Granted, I am not too familiar with any of these programs (I have heard great things about HP, but not quite enough to warrant putting them higher up). I don't have too many strong opinions about this, so I will leave it at that lol.

Music- Hebron

Visual- FloMo

GE- Hebron

(Feel free to let me know if I missed anything- I am definitely very new to this, but I wanted to take a crack at it haha)

It seems like DFW is their only BOA on the schedule this season, they have UIL planned otherwise! Seems like they'll be traveling to SA during BOA to watch based on their schedule (and potentially be ready to perform at state the following days). 

Edit: Oops, as VinoGirl said, they'll be at SA Super Regional.

[VinoGirl]

HP will also be participating in the BOA SA Super Regional.
