What is everyone's predictions for 4A area D after last years realignment? Do we see the same bands make it to state or do things get mixed up?

Burnet and Fredericksburg to state. Everything else is up for grabs. Bands to watch - La Grange, Taylor, Stafford, Brazosport, Needville, Columbia

with 26 bands qualified and 5 left to perform, there is a good chance we will reach 30-31 bands. Resulting in 12 to finals and 6 to state. 4 of the 5 bands left to play made area last year. The 5th is a new school.

I have doubts for Freeman, more interested in Legacy Ranch. If you look at the track record from Region 13 band joining, their track record will be interesting joining Area D. Needville (besides last year) was alternate to state a few times in Area E. Stafford (pre covid) was alternate to state many times. They seem to be back to their pre-covid days this year.

Freeman - New high school Legacy Ranch - new high school and has freshmen only

Stafford already beat Columbia this year at contest. Both Columbia and Stafford bands have stepped it up greatly from last year. Their 1st contest were better runs than last years area runs. Stafford - 1st in Finals at Blinn College Contest Columbia - 2nd in finals and took best soloist, guard and percussion
