My completely biased predictions, and I have not seen every show so the bottom half will for sure be wrong.
1- Marcus (M) (GE?) Personally their show has been the most enjoyable show to watch, but they have some rough visual spots and some trouble with timing.
2- Vandy (V) (GE?) I find their show to be lacking something, but I can’t put my hands on it. However, that is mainly an issue I have with their show design, the marchers execute this show wonderfully. I feel like Marcus and Vandy will each get a caption, and their respective GE scores will determine who gets the gold.
3- TWHS Also a contender for the GE caption, and have some strong visuals. I could for sure see them place higher than 3rd, and I’m pretty confident they’ll at least medal.
4- Vista I feel like Reagan and Vista will place very close together, I think Vista as of state has the edge, but improvements made during the week could change things.
5- Reagan ^
6- Rouse Definitely a top half finalist, I could see them taking 4th or 5th, but most of their strong musical moments are when they are standing still, and lack some clarity musically on the move
7- Cedar park
8- Wakeland
9- Bridgeland First time seeing them at state, I was very impressed
10- Cedar Ridge
11- CTJ
12- LD Bell
13,14- ?
If I didn’t list any likely finalist bands it’s because I haven’t seen their show, so this list is going to be very wrong. I also put a much larger weighting on music than BOA does.
