Due to the number of bands not advancing to the Area contest and the lower number of finals spots, my rankings have changed a bit.
(BASED ON ORDER AND PREVIOUS YEAR PLACEMENTS/SOME OF THIS YEARS CONTESTS I'VE BEEN AT)
1st - Holliday (Only because Holliday performs later in the day. I still think it will be really close)
2nd - Whitesboro
3rd - Howe (Due to a slightly later performance time and performing right after Comanche. I also think the Region 25 judging might have been a little harsh today, yet they still got straight 1's)
4th - Iowa Park (Due to performing right after Whitesboro)
Last 3 Will Be Close
5th - Pilot Point
6th - Pottsboro (Depending on how their run goes. They perform after Howe, so I guess they could be ranked lower due to that)
7th - Grandview (Good band. Area finals in Area D the previous years.)
Possible Outsiders That Might Make It
Millsap (Decently clean show. More challenging show than other 3A from what I saw at Region 7 South today. Good chance with later spot, but they do go after Holliday)
Bowie (Pretty good performance {The ones I've seen} and I think there's a chance, definitely with the later spot they have)
I don't really see any other band having a shot, especially with the small number of spots this year. I wish the best of luck to all of the bands competing next Saturday.
