The 6 - 10 spots could literally be any one of 10 - 12 different groups who have either been in area finals before or groups who have been on the outside looking in. Paetow has been progressing a ridiculous amount this year! They took the percussion caption at Katy Marching this year and have been cleaner musically and visual than the past. Cy Ranch has continued to improve throughout the season and has put up some great runs of their show at contest. JV always seems to show up at Area contest and thrown down and bump people out of finals. Langham has been throwing down the last three weeks of the season and improved their show musically and visually a ton. Each group from 6 - 15 can be described like any of the above, literally anyone could be in those Area finalist spots. 1 - 5 will be cool to see who advances to State, fingers crossed for an Area I state finalist this year, but I'm almost more interested in what's going to happen with 6 - 10 with how many groups have improved this year! Expand I think any one of these groups could take the 10th spot! Quote
nightlife Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Katy and cinco were solid at their football games yesterday. Still noticed some of the same things from this past weekend but a lot has improved! jordan sounded big, nice good wall of sound and very pure. Drill has cleaned up a ton too, timing was tight. JET felt static but still a great showing. Looking fwd to Saturday Quote

Displayed name Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 Cyfair and Seven lakes sounded fantastic, I think they are much closer than people say they are. Cy-fair still takes first. Seven lakes has a harder show and they still have a lot of room to grow, but I’m sure they will be in a great place for state/San Antonio Sandy1340 and ChristopherRoden 2 Quote

Has that improved? Vertical alignment and timing were their main issues and it seemed like the drum majors and the drum line were constantly fighting for tempo/downbeats. It’s a tough show musically. Bold considering how little content is weighted at area. Quote
