Based on previous local competition results and shows that I have seen here are my thoughts.

Area G 5A Champions: Roma

Runner-Up: Pioneer

Bronze Medalist Contenders: Sharyland, Pace, Rio Grande City, Lopez

Finalist Locks: PSJA North, Juarez Lincoln, Weslaco East

It will be very interesting who advances to state. There are only 2-3 bands that I would consider an absolute Lock to make the SMBC.

I love to see the level of RGV bands increasing, future is bright! Should be an amazing and dramatic comp!

I’ve heard Roma and Pioneer have been GRINDING the past couple weeks. Both programs have some really high goals for the year and have been tweaking and adding hoping to squeeze everything out of their shows to give themselves the chance to spend the extra night in SA. 
 

Some compelling storylines:

Can a surging Pioneer catch the Roma giant?

I agree with the four way race to round out the podium! Definitely a tight one!

Will JL, Pace or WE stamp their first ticket to the Dome?

Looking forward to seeing some amazing shows Saturday!

How many bands go to state?

Final night of run throughs for 5As this evening! Hopefully everyone has some great game time runs!

Congrats to Roma on the win, and to all our state qualifiers! I love how we have 3 PSJA school's back-to-back-to-back in the rankings, would have been super cool if that was 4th-6th, maybe in the future. Congratulations to all our finalist, and good luck to the top 6 at state!

I’m so happy PSJA North made it to state! They have had some of the most fun shows I’ve seen in the Area!

[DeadMascot]

I wish I could have went to this competition myself

The tri cities have to be on cloud 9.  First PSJA High gets a big send off to State then their other schools qualify for finals. So awesome for North qualifies for State. And it’s appropriate! PSJA is the OG! Then North came around in 93, followed by Memorial and Southwest. How freaking cool for them.
