State will be very competitive this year. I agree with most of the predictions, but there's always a chance for surprises in the rankings!

Let's be honest, I'm shocked by these results. All 5 of the qualifiers did great, but I personally don't agree with the rankings. Based on the shows that I saw, I thought the results for top 5 would be: 1. Aledo 2. Centennial/Richland 3. Centennial/Richland 4. Colleyville/Midlothian 5. Midlothian/Colleyville (didn't see Midlothian's show but I've heard it was great) All in all, these bands did very well and great job to everyone, not just area finalists! If you disagree with me that's fine, but I am curious to know other people's opinions on this. On the UIL site, I have looked at the scores and am very confused. I thought that the scores would be close, but some of the scores are just confusing. For example, Richland tied with Centennial for 2nd in prelims and their Music 3 score was a 3, which isn't bad. But in the finals scoring, the score for Music 3 somehow went to a 10. I do think that Aledo is very good at their show, but they got complete 1s in finals, which is odd. They did very well, but I feel like the gap between the top 5 shouldn't have been so large. Once again, great job to every band and every performer on the field! I think the state comp is going to be very interesting this year
