Skillet2019 Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Predictions for the 2023 UIL 4A competition! Dave609 1 Quote
Popular Post bxOxAxUIL Posted March 9, 2023 Popular Post Posted March 9, 2023 China Spring, Burnet, and Springtown will continue to be locks until a director change happens. Expect to see Alvarado and Gatesville to continue to make strides in the upcoming years. You can also never count out Kennedale, Fredericksburg, and Robinson, they will always be contenders. Keep an eye on for Jarrell, they've had an impressive trajectory since bumping up to 4A. CSbandmomB5, Dave609, ReveriesOp24 and 1 other 4 Quote

Keep an eye on for Jarrell, they've had an impressive trajectory since bumping up to 4A. Expand That's how I see it. Hoping Robinson can make it back! Been wanting to see their return, just like I want to see H.M. King return from Area E Quote
Skillet2019 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Posted August 28, 2023 Any more predictions as the season gets started? Quote
Dave609 Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 haven't seen anyone yet, but definitely think we will see Kennedale return. Most likely the top 3 will be Springtown, China Spring, and Burnet. Still hoping to see Robinson return XD. On 8/28/2023 at 3:47 PM, Skillet2019 said: Any more predictions as the season gets started? Expand Quote
Dave609 Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Also hoping that 6 bands can advance again so that we can see another band join the State Qualifiers group. Since I don't feel like there will be many changes to last year Quote

Since I don't feel like there will be many changes to last year Expand If there were 6 advancements last year Kennedale would’ve gone to State and Godley would’ve made Finals again. This year, we could see 6 advance as there were a hand full of bands that only missed going to Area by 1 judge. Quote

Expand I think we’ll see some moves by Gatesville this season, more surprisingly though-My wild card prediction this year is Boerne,they made finals last year for the first time in a while, and came out of the gate swinging this season beating Fredericksburg at their first competition.

Expand Well, we already know one participant in UIL 4A Area D and that’s Benbrook HS, 29 more bands to go to get 12 finals spots! Quote
Eco12 Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 I think a few more Area D bands perform today, so we should be able to get some more results soon! Quote
Bulldog1 Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 I would like to know honest thoughts on Venus hs 4a I am a parent just would like an honest take… I promise you will not hurt my feelings we have been at for the last two years we get really good feedback from judges but I think it’s just not good enough for me lol thanks Quote
Eco12 Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Typically they’re on the lower end of placements in area D, not quite finalist level, like many others though they have the potential to leap into that bracket. Quote

Godley started out that way in 2014 and are just now getting to where they’re on the cusp of will they make Finals or won’t they. It’ll get better as long as the students push! Bulldog1 1 Quote

Eco12 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 We’re you able to see their performance? I’m curious to know how they’re doing since I saw them at their first competition. Quote

Expand Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it !! I agree mr Langdon has done wonderful things with Venus we are trying really hard to build the visual effects up with the color guard as well as the band I think personally is we are having a hard time keeping band students… when all these middle schoolers that are in band as soon as they get to hs they drop from the program and a lot has to do with they can’t juggle sports and band and I get it but I just wished we had more students Expand Eco12 and Skillet2019 2 Quote
