I'm hearing Cedar Ridge is going in 2022. I would be surprised if this was not the case.

I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but I think Hebron 2021 might take the crown for best high school show. At the very least its the best music I have ever heard a high school pull off. Somehow Hebron keeps one upping themselves with this absurd music. I cannot wait to see what they do next year.

Sad to see round rock out of state finals again. And with a confusingly low percussion score too (Not blaming the percussion judge I just know how much those kids take pride in having amazing percussion so it sucks to see them not do good in that category) I hope there's still a way for them to make finals at nats. I would imagine if they don't make finals they won't go back in 2023. It's just too expensive and I've heard stories of students/families that struggled to come up with the money to make the trip.

and they have to get on a plane in two days and go even harder...

Round Rock really cant catch a break this year. San Antonio prelims they had someone fall really bad at the very beginning of the show causing others to fall as well. And at UIL they had a guard member hurt herself and stuck on the ground unable to walk for about a minute and a half of the show until someone ran on the field and carried her off. I doubt these things affect the scoring too terribly but I know how demoralizing it is to have things like this happen during the most important runs of the whole season. Hopefully they still have a shot at finals, because the run sounded and looked way better than on Friday.

Never thought i'd see the day, Go hawks 😄

I don't see Leander being rouse, cedar park, or cedar ridge. I love their show and I really wish they won 5A state and did better at BOA Austin, but the way they've been judged so far, I have them in the bubble around the bowie, round rock, coppell area.

With the way scores are looking, I wouldn't be surprised to see us reach 97 at San Antonio again. Possibly some 90 point performances will miss finals like in 2017 as well. Cedar Park at a 93 with them (maybe) not being a top 2 band in their district is absurd. I am excited to see the 5A state results between them and Leander. Maybe they aren't top 3. That would be even more crazy.

Also my early season prediction of CTJ winning everything is starting to look possible again.

Round Rock 2021 > Round Rock 2019. Be ready for seven more performances from them.

Round Rock just beat Reagan in music at Area.

This looks pretty close to what I'd expect but I would change the bubble just a little bit. Gotta give more credit to rouse for hanging with the big names all season, and round rock for beating Reagan in music this weekend. Cedar Park is also probably a lock. Vista Ridge deserves to be a lock. I know it was UIL but they beat Vandegrift, I think that puts them above cedar ridge and company. "Locks" Vandegrift Claudia Taylor Johnson Ronald Reagan The Woodlands Hebron Vista Ridge Mid Tier, should make finals Cedar Ridge Leander Cedar Park Finalist Bubble, Upper Coppell Marcus Round Rock Rouse James Bowie Finalist Bubble Pearland Keller Seven Lakes

but historically accurate

Some random predictions: Hebron will get 2nd 13th place will be a round rock isd band Leander ISD Will take the other two medals CTJ and Reagan will inexplicably place lower than everyone expects Some judge is going to give one band like close to dead last when every other judge has them in or just out of finals

No one is going to talk about round rocks closer? It might be the most ambitious music I have ever heard them play
