ATSSBoT

Kaufman used to be in area b 4a.. and oh my lord they’ve gotten SO MUCH STRONGER 
 
I could really see them making the leap to state, their program is definitely on an upwards trajectory! With that being said this is my prediction:
1. Lakeview Centennial
2. Highland Park
3. Kaufman (really good feeling about them)
4. Poteet
 
Yes obviously kaufman only made state 1 time in 4A, but you have to keep in mind they were in area B and consistently 1st alternate 

It won't let me open it, do you mind screenshotting it and then sending them?

I unfortunately haven’t had time to see any yet, I’m gonna try this week

Sulphur definitely has a really awesome music selection - it already sounds great

If it is like last year then if a small school doesn't make the finals then they will probably have an exhibition. However, if I remember Mineola (3A) made it to the finals and they did not have an exhibition. With the amount of talent that was there last year and again this year, it's a huge measuring stick for a program and will be very difficult for a small school to make it to the finals.

The park and bark thing is straight out of the 2000s for me as a comment.  Bands are smarter now, especially in a classification who's champions are pretty pristinely clean/smart about their difficulty.  Not that I think that recent champions shows are overtly easy, but they're pretty straight forward, simple, smart, and impeccably performed.  It's been a little bit since we've seen a pretty intense/riskier show win, Canton 2018, North Lamar 2016, and Argyle 2008-2014 come to mind there.  
Since someone seems to have a grudge here, Sulphur Springs isn't doing anything out the ordinary.  Big ensemble moments are holds, section technical features/solos are stationary and enhanced with choreo (which isn't easy in and of itself while playing harder licks), and on the move stuff tends to be big builds.  It's very in line with what other bands are doing and fits well within the sheets that are now being used.  The brass doing a big build on the move in their ballad at some pretty healthy step sizes is hardly easy either.  Closer has some on the move stuff while playing the harder parts of Asphalt Cocktail.  Their show is super fun and smartly designed.  Can't wait to see how they do down the long run.  

I liked NL and SS shows last year. It was an interesting clash of different philosophies. I can’t find anything online for NL. I did find a parent preview for SS. Cool show. I am going to watch the Melissa Showcase. Hopefully get to see everyone there. 
 
I saw that NL is playing Canton this Friday. That’s gonna be a great halftime.

Last year, Canton got 1st and China Spring got 2nd

Really don't think that anna will push through to finals..
 
they had a really sloppy first act of what they do have on the field at the moment
Melissa consistently being a finalist in 4a state finals and then going to 5A with a show that was way more advanced than anything they'd played and still not make finals.. I just don't think it'd happen
 
I do think that Melissa will push through though
