I feel like a lot of the usual bands from Region 28 will be there in Finals. The last few spots are pretty much a toss-up though. In no particular order: Harlingen Hanna Lopez Donna San Benito Harlingen South O'Connor United Sharyland Alexander I don't really know much about the other Laredo or San Antonio schools, so I suppose one of them could sneak in there. I'd say these are pretty much locks for state: Hanna Lopez Harlingen Donna Harlingen South San Benito O'Connor The last spot is up for grabs.

Area G already has 37 bands qualifying for the contest, and that's not even counting the region 14 bands yet! So Area G is taking at least 7, and more likely 8 bands to state! There's almost no need to even hold finals!

Grulla could be a surprise Area E finalist and even state qualifier. They came out on top of Hidalgo last weekend at City of Palms. Earlier in the season they came in 4th out of 21 bands overall at the PSJA contest, on top of all but two 5A bands (Harlingen and San Benito) and a 4A (Rio Grande City). I think their chances will really depend on how many Area E will be sending to state, though.
