IMHO...
you cant really say that area B is "definitely" the hardest, i mean look at state finals, ya marcus and bell took home the top spots but none of the other bands from area B made it, then you have 4 outta the 5 bands from area D that made it.
and area D didnt exactly have a easy finals i mean look at who else they have Georgetown, Leander, Westlake,Round Rock,etc. those arent push over bands.
