okie dokie, standings posted. strong majorities of units in every class have posted a score, tho some are a weeee bit old now. IW thrown into a lil bit of chaos after the judges smacked down fusion this weekend. blessed sac currently sitting on top despite being directly beaten by fusion. not surprised, fusion has an unconventional show, others much more typical imo.
strongest TX possibilities for Dayton finalists in the standings rn:
SA: Jordan 2nd, Melissa 5th, Veterans Memorial 8th, Tomball Memorial 13th, Dripping Springs 19th, Foster 22nd
IA: RGV Winter Guard 12th
SO: Pearland 2nd, Westlake 4th, James Bowie 7th, Little Elm 10th, Cy-Fair 11th
IO: Undaunted 12th, Industry Independent 17th
SW: The Woodlands 2nd
IW: Invictus 13th, Mirage 15th, Menage 19th
methinks arcadia's lead over tw in SW will widen the next two weeks before narrowing or vanishing the weekend of the West and Southwest power regionals. arcadia has wgi contests every weekend for the next 3 weeks. wowzer!! they gonna get them some feedback. don't really see em getting "fusioned" either. woodlands meanwhile shouldn't hope to rely on equipment and effect. need to up their mvmnt game and if possible restage at least a couple moments for added formal clarity/connectedness. i actually did think the opener looked much better at Austin. flags more in time w/ the music and less brightly colored, so our focus went more to the rifles.
about a month left until Dayton. entering the final stretch already. crazy!!!
