SpudMuffin Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Any predictions on ranking all 16 bands at Area G? Who will be the 7 finalists? The 3 making State? Any up and coming bands to watch out for? (Weslaco? San Benito? Los Fresnos?) Quote
riverdrums Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 United - state JBA - state Hanna - state EHS PSJA Los Fresnos Ed North Is my guess for finalist with top three advancing Quote
southtexasneedsmorerecogni Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Top 3 1. United 2. Alexander 3. Either PSJA or Weslaco Although it seems like every year Area G has suprises. Quote
jd1231 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 It seems like a really tight race for the two laredo rival schools! But don't count hanna out, they sound awesome! Quote
DeadMascot Posted October 10, 2023 Author Posted October 10, 2023 1. Alexander (state) 2. United (state) 3. Hanna (state) It will be a tight race between both, but I’ll give it to Alexander because they’re missing a part of their show south tx 1 Quote
MarchingBandNerd805 Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 Someone posted United's run through at the festival: Can't wait to hear the improvement at area. Quote

MarchingBandNerd805 Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 Hot Take: I believe San Benito can make state if they improve their visual content. Their music was really good and very balanced at the festival (you can even see one music judge give them 2nd). Not perfect but really good. Their visuals weren't super clean or super dirty but I think its missing more demand of the choreography. If they're able to get cleaned up a bit more, I believe they can give Hanna a run for their money. Quote

A lot of friends who watched the show told me that San Benito DESERVED to get 3rd undisputedly, I haven’t see their show though… Quote
riverdrums Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 That 3rd spot is a definite shootout Quote

Let's get some predictions and discussion going!!! I think United will take it followed by Hanna. After that it could be Alexander, San Benny, PSJA, or Los Fresnos. I've seen almost everyone perform. Some might play okay, but darn, some of these shows are BORING. A few of these bands have extend sections of their shows where THEY DON'T PLAY. One school starts with almost 2 minutes without a sound from the full ensemble. Take out all the stand and play with body wiggles, or stand and play then run to the new set, or the mega-loud electronics with sub drops, and what does that leave with some of these boring shows? The bands at the top will have high demand with a well crafted show. Who has the most enjoyable music? Quote

SpudMuffin Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 I saw Harlingen and Hanna at a football game tonight. Hanna was ON FIRE! Harlingen had a good trumpet soloist. Area is gonna be crazy Quote
DeadMascot Posted October 14, 2023 Author Posted October 14, 2023 I caught a glimpse of Alexander’s last movement and I honestly don’t know how to feel about it, I can’t wait for Area… it will definitely be an interesting year to say the least! Quote
WellThatsTubad Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Some rainfall before the contest. Wonder if there is gonna be a delay. Quote
WellThatsTubad Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Energy was higher last week from all bands. I'm just gonna assume it was the elements. The color pops really well from Alexander's newly added scene. LBJ, UHS, AHS, and USHS all recieved 1's as expected. Going to be a fun contest next week. Quote
