I feel like this year is going to see some change. With 5 bands, 3 of them being area finalists last year, moving out of the area, I think There'll be some new faces in the finals. I definitely see Whitesboro, Holliday, and Howe going back to State this year. I see Iowa Park, Pottsboro, and Pilot Point battling it for the other spot for state. None of the new bands from region 30 really strike me as state level, but maybe area finalists. Grandview might also make finals, but not not state. They have been slowly falling a bit back in the past years in Area D. A few bands I might see making it in the lower spots of area finals area Jacksboro, Bowie, Bells, Millsap, and Gunter. So really, I see the rankings as
STATE
1. Whitesboro
2. Holliday
3. Howe
POSSIBLE STATE (ANY ORDER)
4. Iowa Park
5. Pilot Point
6. Pottsboro
AREA FINALISTS (ANY ORDER)
Grandview
Bells
Jacksboro
Gunter
Millsap
Bowie
