Wowzers! Biggest BOA in the DFW area to date or no?

Finalist tiers (in ABC order) and class predictions. Forgive me if any classifications are incorrect:
Flower Mound H.S., TX Hebron H.S., TX ————— Keller H.S., TX Marcus H.S., TX ————— L.D. Bell H.S., TX Owasso H.S., OK Timber Creek H.S., TX ————— Coppell H.S., TX Prosper H.S., TX Wakeland H.S., TX Waxahachie H.S., TX ————— Keller Central H.S., TX Trinity H.S., TX
A: 1) Krum H.S., TX
AA: 1) Paragould H.S., AR 2) Forney H.S., TX 3) Burleson Centennial H.S., TX
AAA: 1) Waxahachie H.S., TX 2) Wakeland H.S., TX 3) Aledo H.S., TX?
AAAA: 1) Flower Mound H.S., TX 2) Hebron H.S., TX 3) Keller H.S., TX
It’s any one of the top 3 in AAAA’s game, really. I do think Marcus has a chance to medal. I can see AAA switching around as well. My knowledge of other A bands besides Krum is zero and I’m not sure of many other AA bands.

I’ve got to figure out how I’m going to attend the Leander homecoming game against Vista Ridge the night before, sleep, and make it three hours north to Pennington Field by 7 am Saturday morning. 🤔

There’s a Flower Mound video out from last night and they really look good! I’m guessing they’ll take gold or silver at this contest unless Marcus or Keller bring a killer show. Hebron should be a contender of course, especially with it being a GN year for them. I just haven’t seen them yet.

Post by josephbandfan on Sept 8, 2019 8:57:27 GMT -6
Gonna be tough for anyone to take out Flower Mound or Hebron from the top 2 here. Probably Keller and Marcus fighting for 3rd and LD Bell always places in the top half here.

Flomo is doing some amazing stuff. Still got cleaning but it’s early! Great transitions with all that visual stuff with the props it’s staged so perfectly- kind of like a Bluecoats feel

But have you guys HEARD Hebron?! I have not seen their show but I have heard the first movement from Friday nights football game audio. My oh my, that’s going to be incredible.

Ha....that’s exactly what I’m thinking! Homecoming might throw off when Leander performs--gotta watch out for that! For the past 5 years or so, the band performs before the game during special event nights such as Homecoming, Middle School Night and Senior Night. That works out perfectly for me.

Predictions 1. Flower Mound 2. Hebron 3. Timber Creek 4. Owasso 5. LD Bell 6. Prosper

Owasso is definitely improved over last year, which really makes me happy. With that being said, they're generally a program that learns show at a much slower pace, especially compared to Texas groups. They sounded great last night, but only performed 2 movements. Hopefully they get a 3rd added and cleaned this week.
I really wish they had gone with STL instead of this contest, but I understand if it was a significant savings for them during a Rose Parade season.

Pretty, Hebron. Very clean opener beautiful ballad. Tons of musicality of course. Visual very crown looking until the ballad. Music in the opener felt very BK style but not as forced, more lush brass

Hebron should end up doing quite well in Indy - probably head home with a medal.
Not sure it's got the visual depth to win, but they'll be somewhere in the top 3
