celesta Posted April 22, 2023 Posted April 22, 2023 Is SLC attending this competition? Crowley was shown in their show/schedule reveal and it seems like it's an early season contest. Quote

Really surprised how much attention this contest is getting compared to last year. Only 11 attended, so everyone made finals. celesta 1 Quote

BandNerd07 Posted May 16, 2023 Author Posted May 16, 2023 So apparently Burleson Centennial is also confirmed. Man, this comp is sure to be stacked this year compared to last year. Quote
BandNerd07 Posted June 8, 2023 Author Posted June 8, 2023 Okay, so we just got a major update as USBands has now posted all currently registered bands. More will most likely be added as registration is open untill September 9th. This is practically a BOA contest as it is extremely stacked and will very likely be a 12 finalist contest.

BandNerd07 Posted June 9, 2023 Author Posted June 9, 2023 I know it's kinda early but I just wanted to do my predictions based on the number of entries. Just note that the class champion will advance regardless of the placements. Anyway, I strongly believe that with the amount of bands attending, there will be 12 finalists so here it is: 12th- Godley (Group I Champion) 6th-11th- Mansfield, North Crowley, Summit, Cleburne, Burleson, Timberview. I think as of the end of the 2022 season, these bands are all on the same level and tend to kind of rival each other at contests. Unfortunately these bands are kind of on the mid-low tier range as they both have to deal with hard hitters at their respective areas, but it seems like they know what they need to do to make a finals appearance at any local comp. 2nd-5th- Lewisville, Burleson Centennial, V. R. Eaton, J. J. Pearce. These bands I'd say are on a level above the 6th-11th place bands, but not quite on the level as Southlake. They do extremely well at local comps, but unfortunately the same cannot really be said for BOA comps as they will more than likely not make finals. But nonetheless they still compete and see where they stand against other bands. 1st- Southlake Carroll- I mean, isn't it a no brainer all really? Quote

Eaton 3rd- Lewisville 2nd- Burleson Centennial 1st- Southlake Carroll Expand This is pretty much mine, would move Burleson up to 8th and that’s pretty much mine Quote
BandNerd07 Posted June 9, 2023 Author Posted June 9, 2023 Just note that in USBands, the class champion would advance to finals, regardless of their placement in prelims. Otherwise, i'd probably have Weatherford or North Forney take the 12th spot. Tubalord11 1 Quote
Dave609 Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 It shows that Aldine HS (Houston) will be at this contest and the one being held in Houston. I think there is a typo and that Aldine won't be at this contest On 6/9/2023 at 3:48 AM, BandNerd07 said: Just note that in USBands, the class champion would advance to finals, regardless of their placement in prelims.

It would make more sense to go to a contest that way closer to them than to drive 5 hours for this one. I'll go ahead and remove them. Dave609 1 Quote
Popular Post BandNerd07 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Popular Post Posted June 10, 2023 But I will say, one thing I don't like about USBands is that the class champion will advance to finals regardless of placement. This means that some bands that are finals worthy will be forced to miss out because of this. It happened at USBands Burleson last year when Parkway and Lamar didn't make finals, but Everman and Westwood did. It should really be like other local and BOA contests which the class champions that doesn't qualify for finals perform in exhibition instead of just steal a finalist spot. celesta, Tubalord11 and Dave609 3 Quote
BandNerd07 Posted June 14, 2023 Author Posted June 14, 2023 I think Boswell might've changed their mind about both this comp and USBands Saginaw, because they are no longer listed. They might've decided to go with the Melissa Marching Showcase instead for the 23rd, but have no idea what they plan for the 30th (the same day as this comp). Maybe HEB because they went there several times in the past. But only time will tell as their calendar has not been made for this season. Quote

Tubalord11 Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 Ooooo I can’t wait for this one! Some of these US Bands lineups are starting to look pretty solid, and having a flo subscription already makes things easier. I may have to consider this one for this day…was thinking about heb or Wylie, probably will still do ones of but this will be a strong show regardless. Quote

I didn't get to see them this past season and I was surprised by how low they placed at area. Extremely underrated band and its just a shadow of Forney High, it seems like. Quote
BandNerd07 Posted June 16, 2023 Author Posted June 16, 2023 I absolutely agree that North Forney is better than North Crowley and Cleburne, but you shouldn't vote them out just yet because both bands have made great improvements at area this year. Cleburne managed to beat bands like Southwest, Burleson, Joshua, and Timberview. As for North Crowley, they made a pretty decent placement at area this past year, being a band that didn't qualify for area last year. They beat bands they normally never beat like Arlington, Irving, Desoto, and Weatherford. This really is getting hard to predict, I tell you. Tubalord11 1 Quote
BandNerd07 Posted June 16, 2023 Author Posted June 16, 2023 If anything Mansfield, Summit, and Burleson need to watch their backs. These bands have dropped several spots this past year compared to 2021. Quote
