About
The 2015 Arlington Regional was held Oct. 10 at Maverick Stadium on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington. After an extremely close prelims and finals competition, Flower Mound was named Regional Champion.

Analysis
This Arlington Texas regional was stacked. Top to bottom, this regional had some of the most talented groups not only in the state of Texas, but across the entire country. The best part about this regional, however, was how competitive the top three were. In both prelims and finals, each of the top three bands received at least one caption award.

The biggest surprise at this regional was Wakeland. We should have expected a great performance from this group as they won second place in class AAA at Grand Nats this past year, but we thought that was an exceptional season because they knew they would be competing at Grand Nats. We were wrong. They brought it at this regional and pulled within two points of LD Bell in finals after tying with Round Rock in prelims.

This regional shows how superior the big three Lewisville ISD bands are. Flower Mound, Hebron, and Marcus are incredible programs all concentrated in one school district. The only other place in America where there are so many high-level bands in one district is Cobb County in Georgia.
