*insert San Antonio Finals list here*

[paddy]

Here is the list if you only include states that joined the union between 1800 and 1820.



1. Carmel H.S., IN
2. Avon H.S. IN
3. Homestead H.S., IN
4. William Mason H.S., OH
5. O'Fallon Township H.S., IL
6. Castle H.S., IN
7.Center Grove H.S., IN
8. Lincoln-Way H.S., IL

[Allohak]

Fun Fact:

If you include the "next 10", all but 2 of the bands represented are in states which border each other contiguously (thanks to Harrison, GA).
Silly California being all the way out west.

Sure would!!!

[lostchoirguy]

Could you imagine if we had the entire top 30 show up to GNats and we were able to get all of the best of the best in one place?

Or if BOA had it so you have to earn finals at a regional / super regional to qualify for a spot at grand nationals. I know that is not realistic whatsoever but there would be so many great shows! Or if grand nationals took the top 100 scoring bands from the previous season or something along those lines. Now that would be really cool

Per the Congressional resolution by which Texas was admitted to the U.S. in 1845, Texas is permitted to divide itself into five states. Someone else can try to figure out which bands would go into which state, but in the meantime, this is a fun little clip about "the five states of Texas" from a mostly overlooked 2011 movie that starred Jack Black and Shirley MacLaine:

[Samuel Culper]

It is anybody's guess how the divisions would work, but if we make lists by major metro areas, it looks like this:

DFW
1 - Flower Mound
2 - Hebron
3 - Keller
4 - Marcus
5 - LD Bell
6 - Prosper
Next 10 - Coppell, Timber Creek, Waxahachie

Austin
1 - Vista Ridge
2 - Leander
3 - Vandegrift
4 - Cedar Ridge
5 - Hendrickson
6 - Westlake
7 - James Bowie
8 - Cedar Park

San Antonio
1 - Ronald Reagan
2 - Claudia Taylor Johnson

Houston
1 - The Woodlands

Valley
1 - John B. Alexander

Hey you can't forget about the other two great NEISD schools underneath those two. Churchil DID make SA finals just a few years ago, and just barely lost to a great JBA at McAllen.

[madisonbandman1]

I always see people rank the top ten in texas but wouldn't it better suit the state if you ranked the top 10 from each metro area in the state? I don't think it'll be that hard.

Gimme a minute and I'll give it a crack.

[madisonbandman1]

Texas Rankings by metro area/region:

DFW:
1 - Flower Mound
2 - Hebron
3 - Keller
4 - Marcus
5 - LD Bell
6 - Prosper
7 - Coppel
8 - Timber Creek
9 - Waxahachie
10 - Keller Central

Austin
1 - Vandegrift
2- Leander
3 - Vista Ridge
4 - Cedar Park
5 - Cedar Ridge
6 - Westlake
7 - Lake Travis
8 - Round Rock
9 - Hendrickson
10 - Westwood

San Antonio
1 - Reagan
2 - CTJ
3 - Madison (I think this is the year we honestly finally pass Churchill)
4 - Churchill
5 - Warren
6 - Brandeis
7 - Judson
8 - O'connor
9 - Alamo Heights
10 - Brennan
If you include Smithson Valley and New Braunfels in the region, they'll be placed 5th and 6th respectively ahead of Warren.

Houston - don't know many programs in the area, so the first ten Houston-area schools at the Houston regional.

[twhsalumniparent]

I'll take an early crack at it for Houston:

1 - The Woodlands
2 - Cy-Fair
3 - Oak Ridge
4 - Seven Lakes
5 - Pearland
6 - College Park
7 - James E Taylor
8 - Clear Brook
9 - Brazoswood
10 - Stephen F Austin

[Allohak]

Whoosh!

I wasn't forgetting anybody.  I was just taking the HornRank weekly rankings and dividing up the Texas schools.

[madisonbandman1]

John B Alexander isn't on that list though, so I figured that you put it together mostly through your own merrit. Thank you for the clarification though.
