How’s it goin so far?

Since we’re (maybe) a day out I thought I’d post some of my predictions for where I’m pretty confident bands will place at 1. Coppell 2. Keller 3. Timber Creek 4. SLC 5. LD Bell 6. Haltom 7. Keller Central 8. Lake Ridge Really hope the rain miraculously goes away🙏🙏, even if as of rn it doesn’t look that way at all

if anyone here can stop the rain it would be much appreciated 🙏🙏

The rain as of right now seems like it’s happening. Forecast may change but if it doesn’t and the make up day also gets rained out… what happens then?

These bands are too good, it’s amazing to watch, horrible to predict😭😭

Timber Creek, way to go!

I don’t think it’s much of bands getting wrongs scores to be honest. Every band did amazing today and gave it their all, just comparably some didn’t look quite up to others which is expected. However that doesn’t mean a band or two can jump up and take spots in top 6!! It’s what finals is for!

I believe this is Timber Creeks highest ranking as well, just two out of finals.

Timber Creek 16th, so close

Me waiting patiently for prelims results

Me waitin patiently for full recap

Did anyone see how timber creek did?

So excited for this competition to start! So many bubble bands that can push their way into finals!! Cedar Park kicking off the day is very fitting for a competition of this caliber and I know they’ll play phenomenally! Are there people that are attending that will post thoughts here after a band performs? Watching through y’all’s eyes lol

I believe Timber Creek still has a good shot at finals here. Though their state placement wasn’t great, I think their BOA placements and scores all season are something to look out for. Still definitely a contender here.

I like Hercules!

I’m really pulling for marcus to get a silver in finals. The amount of work they’ve put in to make this show their best is really amazing. I’m so excited for them!!

It also kind of sets a decently large gap between the band in 7th and the band in 8th. That probably doesn't happen all the time but more times than not you see that gap happen. But in the end, it does make deciding who is top 5 in the state way easier because they see those bands one after the other.

I would love McKinney North to make finals. I absolutely love their show and think they play it phenomenally.

I don't usually watch guard for marching band because I'm always so focused on the winds but, I specifically remember the Woodlands guard at San Antonio finals last year catching my eye. If a guard is able to draw your eyes toward them and off of a band such as The Woodlands, I'd definitely call that a win. I can easily say their guard was the cleanest and most engaging guard I've ever seen in a high school marching band. They know what they're doing and how to do it the best it can be done.

Bold is definitely one word for these predictions

I definitely agree, often times can also be lumber. I like when timber is dressed and used as beams in structures👍

I agree with this👍

All I have to say is wow. These results surprised me!

I feel like Duncanville has been dipping their toes into the BOA world with their style of shows. I got very BOA vibes from their show last year with the props and uniforms. I feel their main focus still is UIL but they are trying their shot at BOA with their content. I haven't watched their show this year but based on last year I feel they definitely want a better ranking at this BOA comp, and honestly, they might surprise everyone.

I love this idea as well, they could do it considering they beat Keller at HEB and LD Bell in prelims at BOA Bedford. It just requires a strong prelims run.
