For what it’s worth: - Your top 4, in any order, are probably pretty solid - Dripping Springs in the top 5 is a safe bet - Bowie and McNeil are probably too low (e.g. both already beat Hendrickson and M&G Johnson in San Marcos) - Brandeis or Churchill could get in over Hendrickson McNeil is a real wild card here since they beat Westlake (who pretty comfortably beat Round Rock, Westwood, and Leander two weeks ago) and took music captions two weeks in a row (in prelims vs. DS/Bowie, in prelims and finals vs. Westlake). I think Bowie, McNeil, Westwood, Round Rock, Leander, and M&G Johnson will be very close together in scoring, and I don’t think any order would surprise me.

McNeil parent here. Surprised by the placement but not necessarily by the result. Regardless, we weren’t expecting to be in the discussion at all this year so we have a lot to be excited about as the program builds momentum. Stunned that Cedar Ridge didn’t advance. One of their drum majors dropped to one knee after they were dismissed. Felt awful for them. Ronald Reagan was clearly in a class of their own.
