Talk:Trinity High School (Euless, Texas)

message: Trinity is listed at  as the 1987 and 1995 Texas delegates to the Mock Trial National Championship. --Hebisddave 20:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mock Trial 

message: I removed the recent district championships for now.  My thinking is that district championships are much less notable than state-level success.  Lots of teams regularly win district championships, and listing each time they do so would just be a list, and not add to the article.
I'm not sure about the change of year for the recent "state semifinalist" placement, since the source says it's 2001, but I don't know enough to have an opinion. --Hebisddave 14:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Football section changes 

message: I can't really follow the huge number of un-summarized edits to the Trinity High School article:
*There don't need to be bold HTML tags around section titles.
*The citations that I can figure out that were added, so far, have all been incorrect (The WFAA alumni listing does not list Megan Danahey, the Trojan booster club page lists the games for a single season and does not talk about the long-term record against Bell High School).
*I'm concerned that Image:GSs 1560.jpg is not actually licensed because another image you recently uploaded by the same user was posted as self-made and licensed for use when it was very much not made by that user and not licensed for use.
*Information about the yearbook team is copied verbatim from .
I'm sorry, I really can't follow the edits, and too many of them are false or incomplete...There's just too many incomplete citations and such to let it all stay.  I'll spend a little longer seeing if I can salvage, but if I can't I'm either going to revert back to about March 12th and try to add the useful ones back in, or do a major re-write or something. --Hebisddave (talk) 20:55, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Might have to revert back to March 12 

message: References to Michael Muhney have been removed 1 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 times now. The first three times were accompanied by blatantly incorrect edits ("They wish they were famous"). If there's a reason not to have him in the article (did he really go to Trinity?), please say what it is... --216.62.101.13 (talk) 13:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: * (originally posted on User_talk:216.62.101.13) Michael Muhney was removed several times because the entry was incorrect. He did go to Trinity High School. He may be a working actor in L.A. at this moment (I can't confirm). However, he had nothing to do with Trinity High School winning the UIL One Act Play State Championship in 1992. 207.181.232.186 (talk) 03:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: * (originally posted on User_talk:207.181.232.186) (re: what you wrote on my talk page) Awesome, thanks, that's all you had to say. When someone removes information with no explanation, it looks like drive-by vandalism. I'm still not sure why anyone was deleting him from the alumni list and vandalizing it with "they wish they were famous", so that's still weird. --216.62.101.13 (talk) 21:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I have tried to improve the "Athletics" section, and have tried to unscramble many "sports" mixed together. Feel free to correct any wrong doing or if it feels wrong, undo it. and replace it with the old idea.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Itz sensation (talk • contribs) 03:19, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

message: "The Trinity Trojan Marching Band is receiving brand new uniforms today after about 10 years of using the old ones. But soon to be changed next year."

thread_title:  Needs To Be Deleted 

message: I've reverted several changes regarding the term "football". I'm not aware of a Wikipedia-wide consensus for this, but in looking at USL Premier Development League and Major League Soccer, it seems appropriate to use the term "soccer" in reference to association football, at least in USA-based articles. The reverted changes to "American Football" also seem like a possible drive-by edit, given that some of the changes were overreaching. (For example: Reference titles were changed to differ from the actual titles of those webpages. Similar edits by the same user on the article for Pennington Field broke links to Wikipedia categories.) --38.107.226.13 (talk) 14:39, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Saw people discussing famous THS alumni, and found a few for research / possible future inclusion:
* Chris Markey - producer for Midnight, Texas and possibly some movies as well
* Jill Saunders - IMDB
* Mark Carter - class of '85, possibly on General Hospital in the 90's
* Amy Sorlie - story credit for Dark Tide
* Layzie Bone (Steven Howse) of Bone Thugs N Harmony, possibly class of 92
* Kathleen Early - IMDB
* Mike Kruzel - IMDB
* Carla Fry - Class of '79 IMDB Variety obituary
* Roger Vizard - animator
* Garth TenNapel - his wiki article lists Trinity, so he should be easy to add
None of this info is certain -- just might be a starting point for research.

thread_title:  Possible Alumni 

message: The Trinity Trojan band is very storied and successful, but the length of the section of the article about the band is overbearingly long. However, I think that this section of the page has a lot of useful history about Trinity that I'm not sure is source-able anymore, so I'm going to paste it here.
===Band history===
In the spring of 1968, Mr. William D. Reavis was selected to be the first Director of Bands as well as Trinity's Director of Fine Arts; positions he held until the end of the 1972 school year. Before the official opening of Trinity H.S., Mr. Reavis composed the music and words for the Trinity High School Alma Mater and Fight Song. The first Trinity High School Marching Band consisted of freshmen, sophomore and only 10 juniors. Trinity did not have a senior class until its second year of existence. Most of these students had no marching experience and that along with no band hall, no practice field and only a few weeks to prepare for the band program's first UIL Marching Contest, their hard work along with Mr. Reavis's dedication they brought home Trinity's first ever UIL trophy. More trophies and awards were bestowed upon the band the first two years. The Trinity Band was becoming a powerhouse band and they obtained the coveted UIL Sweepstakes the third and fourth year of the school's existence. January 1972; The Trinity HS Symphonic Band, representing The United States, was invited to Mexico by the Department of Cultural Exchange. Three concerts were presented in Monterrey, Mexico as well as one concert en route at Three Rivers High School, Three Rivers, Texas. After building a well established sweepstakes band Mr. Reavis left Trinity after the fourth year and Mr. Tom Nugent then took over the band program the fifth year.
The Trinity Trojan Symphonic Band is an award-winning group in TMEA class AAAAA category, and during Tom Nugent's twenty-four years at Trinity High School, the band achieved twenty-four consecutive UIL sweepstakes ratings. The Trinity High School band was named Outstanding Band in their classification at several invitational contests throughout the United States, including Smoky Mountain Music Festival in Gatlinburg, TN, Six Flags Over Georgia in Atlanta, Six Flags Over Mid-America in St. Louis, the Durango, CO Fine Arts Festival, Winter Park Music Festival, Mountain States Music Festival in Phoenix, AZ, Bluebonnet Festival in San Antonio, Galveston Music Festival, and Cavalcade of Music in Colorado Springs. In addition, the Trinity High School band was selected to attend the UIL State Marching Contest on two different occasions and was an area finalist three times in Honor Band selection.
The Trinity Trojan Marching Band has become an increasing success in the past few years. The band made their first appearance in the Bands of America San Antonio Super Regional competition on October 24, 2009 and received division 1 ratings in the 2009 Region 5 Marching Contest at Pennington Field. The band also received Division 1 ratings in the 2010 UIL Region 5 competition. The marching band advanced to the UIL Area B Marching Band contest at Standridge Field. On Friday, October 29, 2010 the Band competed for the second time in the Bands of America San Antonio Super Regional Contest and received 39th place out of 53 bands, improving from 2009 which they made 37th place out of 50 bands that competed, They also increased their general score by a full seven points, from a 66 to a 73. For the 2011 marching season, the Trinity Band competed in the Aledo Unleash the Sound Marching Band Contest and placed 3rd overall. The Trinity band also received division I ratings in both the 2011 and 2012 UIL Region V Marching Band Contest. In 2012, the Trinity band returned to the Aledo Unleash the Sound Marching contest and received 2nd place overall as well as Best in Class 5A. On October 27, 2012, the Trinity band competed in the UIL Area B Marching Band Contest where the band placed 12th overall, just missing finals by two spots.
