I’ll bite. 1. Cedar Ridge H.S., TX 2. Dripping Springs H.S., TX 3. Timber Creek H.S., TX 4. Westlake H.S., TX 5. James Bowie H.S., TX 6. M.G. Johnson H.S., TX 7. Robert E. Hendrickson H.S., TX 8. Seven Lakes H.S., TX 9. Aledo H.S., TX 10. Keller Central H.S., TX 11. Sachse H.S., TX 12. Burleson Centennial H.S., TX First out: W.E. Boswell H.S., TX AA: Grapevine H.S., TX AAA: Robert E. Hendrickson H.S., TX AAAA: Cedar Ridge H.S., TX What a stacked mid-season Texas contest! I could see it being between four or five bands to take home the gold, and between five or six taking home a medal. That said, I do believe this is going to be a Cedar Ridge victory. They had a strong start to the season at BOA Round Rock, and will be looking to build on that success. Dripping Springs, while placing lower than expected at the TMC, did win the San Marcos regional and won’t be going down easy. Timber Creek will be looking to do well here before they travel up to St. Louis next weekend. Westlake is also not one to be underestimated after placing in the top half at the Round Rock regional, and WOW, what a visual feast. James Bowie and M.G. Johnson also had a solid showing at the San Marcos regional. This top half is insane! I could see Hendrickson sneaking past Johnson. I think they have a much stronger show than the past couple of years. Seven Lakes always presents beautiful productions and we should absolutely see two performances out of them. Aledo has been having a strong season and will also look to do well here. Keller Central missed finals at the Bedford regional but managed to surge into finals at Prosper, so I’ll be looking forward to seeing how they do here at an objectively less competitive contest. Sachse and Burleson Centennial are also both very solid groups that usually score close to one another, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see either group in finals. Other groups that could make their way into finals are W.E. Boswell, Hutto, Lakeview Centennial, Midlothian, Summit and Weiss. Don’t come for me. 🫶🏼

Same repertoire, pretty different arrangement.

Wait, what did they score/place at the Webster regional? I genuinely don’t know.

That said, Weather Channel says sunny with a 25% chance of rain. Hmmmm…

AccuWeather reporting a 66% chance of rain for this weekend. WHY IS THERE LITERALLY NEVER GOOD WEATHER FOR THIS SHOW?! Hopefully the forecast changes. 🙏🏼

Wait, really? If that’s true, whoa, Sachse, too!!!

For whatever reason, CompetitionSuite posts them immediately after the last band performs, so staff members know prelims results before finalist bands are even announced. It happened last week, too. I’m not sure if it’s a mistake or what, but that’s how I have access to the to the prelims recap.

I have access to the prelims recap. No, I won’t share. But @Tubalord11 can vouch for me.

North Mesquite was 26th, you’ll have to tell me who the other Mesquite ISD bands are.

16th.

They were first out, fairly decisively, with an 82.

You’re welcome. 1. Cedar Park - 12 2. Rouse - 17 3. Wakeland - 23 4. Leander - 25 5. Forney - 45 6. Centennial - 54 7. Lone Star - 62 8. Roma - 62 9. Friendswood - 67 10. Richland - 67 11. Lebanon Trail - 70 12. Hendrickson - 74

Wylie East and McNeil also placed the highest they ever have at SASR.

I like the sheer and utter boldness of your predictions for 14th.

FINALISTS (CompSuite released the prelims recap before awards started 🤷🏼‍♂️) 1. Celina - 19 2. Sulphur Springs - 24 3. Panther Creek - 24 4. Anna - 34 5. China Spring - 40 6. Canyon - 53 7. North Lamar - 63 8. Davenport - 68 9. Calallen - 68 10. West Plains - 73

Eh. MKN 17, Argyle 29, The Colony 35. Emerson and Memorial tied with 37, Walnut Grove 38. So 6-9 were neck and neck.

Finals Results 87.350 – Dripping Springs H.S., TX 87.300 – Wylie H.S., TX 84.700 – Clear Brook H.S., TX 82.800 – Rock Hill H.S., TX 81.150 – Moe & Gene Johnson H.S., TX 80.900 – McKinney H.S., TX 80.600 – Ray Braswell H.S., TX 80.000 – Winston Churchill H.S., TX 79.400 – Plano East Senior H.S., TX 73.850 – Lake Ridge H.S., TX 73.200 – New Braunfels H.S., TX 73.150 – Cypress Falls H.S., TX

Eating my words!!! How great for them!

I’m banking on not. No way they can hold finals when the last band of prelims steps off after 6pm.

New Braunfels is leaving the competition. Equipment and instruments ruined.

Another delay after Churchill.

They are.

Both Wylie schools have now gone through that this season. 😅

Just got confirmation from someone ON STAFF that Azle will NOT be here. No schedule update yet.
