I wouldn't go so far as taking Haltom out of finals. From what I can gather that program has done the best they can with the changes that have happened within the past 3 years. Haltom consistently places in the top 6 or 7 for honor band so I know they can play. I am thinking that we could see a couple new names up there. Plano East has taken their program in the right direction these past 2 years...they are big and they have some great musicians so I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the top 4. Saturday is going to be filled with surprises, tears and smiles. All in all a good day of some of the best marching bands.
