After seeing some online performances, there are some pretty strong contenders this year for the top spot IMO:
Roma, Del Rio, Pioneer, and JBA
Their shows seem to check off all the boxes well: Content & design, ensemble sound, guard work and of course the all mighty GE.
Lots of bands seem like they are in much better positions for this time of year than in the recent past, which is going to create a wonderful show for both 6A and 5A Area.
Early finalist predictions:
Roma, Del Rio, Pioneer, JBA, Pieper, Hidalgo, Edinburg, United, PSJA, PSJA SW, Weslaco, Pace (bubble) Vela, Ed North, RGC
