Based on what? Just curious.

Yes.

I am so excited for Ronald Reagan! I came to follow them since their show 3 years ago at Grand Nats! They are amazing! As for Bowie's music and drill, I heard that too about it being the hardest in recent years. That being said, when it is finished it will be interesting to see the scores. They have a phenomenal program. What a year for Texas bands!

I look forward to seeing RR with their new varsity streamlining. I've also heard that Bowie's show is going to be one for the books. The music and drill is supposedly crazy hard and apparently they are exceeding their usual level of high standards. Leander is always something to see too. If what I've heard is true, Bowie will astound again. Looking forward to how it will all play out. For the first time they will be at Texas Marching Classic. Their drumline is under new director and is phenomenal!!! Lots of new things to see this contest season!

It's not a bad thing, I would like to see more marching and playing at the same time, because it is harder to do. I think the show is cool...I like the spider theme and they will surely be up there for visual. They are great, I just think from what I have seen from Bowie, they seem to have an extremely difficult show that they have performed very well. Their music is absolutely gorgeous.

I saw Bowie Tuesday at State. I came to Grand Nats to see Reagan and saw Avon and Carmel today in prelims. From what I have seen, they are powerhouse bands but crawling around on the ground and being overshadowed by props doesn't showcase their marching capabilities. I hate to admit it, but Bowie has a good chance of taking it this year. They have an enormous sound, excellent musicality and their drill and music is incredibly difficult. If they execute it well they will be tough to beat. We have been beaten by them twice now.
