    As a fun thought experiment on the volatility of Houston bands, I removed TWHS and Cy fair from the above list and randomized the bands under them and came up with these rankings. Seeing how different these bands are every year, I think this absolutely COULD be the case come Sept 28th.

Nice. I'm gonna do the same to see what mine comes out to be. 

*1st - The Woodlands

*2nd - Cy-Fair 

3rd - Tompkins

4th - Stephen F. Austin

5th - Churchill Fulshear

6th - Cinco Ranch

7th - Dawson

8th - Tomball Memorial

9th - Klein Oak

10th - Jordan

11th - North Shore Senior

12th - Wylie East

--------

13th - Friendswood

14th - Foster

15th - Oak Ridge

16th - Clear Brook

 

So, mine is definitely all for fun. Now, could I see some of these bands place as high/low on this list... yeah, I could. However, I don't see bands like Fulshear, Cinco Ranch, & Tompkins placing in the top 6, and then bands like Clear Brook, Friendswood, & Foster not making Finals.

Heheehe okay! Here’s my (completely randomized by wheel) list! (Excluding The Woodlands and Cy-Fair bc they’re obviously gonna get 1st and 2nd respectively)

3. Dawson

4. Tomball Memorial

5. Cinco Ranch

6. Friendswood

7. Fulshear

8. North Shore Senior

Now, we all know Klein Oak and SFA are making finals (and there are some bands in my randomizer that probably won’t make it), but this was just for funsies! :)

I’m excited to see most of these bands!!

returning to this after watching Dawson. they should prooobably be top 5 here, w/ the caveat i have a few left to see. the music is very technically accurate again. easy to hear why they won 6A honor band. seems like a show that would do well in UIL, if they still hired ancient TX band directors for judges as opposed to the out-of-state BOA/DCI guys that they now hire lol. musicality and GE-related stuff could still put a damper on those scores. they sounded quite good last yr too, but only Dave and Bryan rewarded them for it early season.

speaking of, the judging here last yr wasssss... awful. super inconsistent, lots of box disagreements. if im gonna be a lil snarky, ill tell u i could see it coming based on who was judging. 👀 Richard being the chief judge will hopefully help a little, he's experienced and successful enough that i feel like the other judges will really reconsider their scores when he asks them to.

they might!!! they have a great show this season. although i become less convinced of this the more of woodlands' show that i see and hear. just saw a fab hicam of them from TexanLive!! endzone to endzone shot, and they're dominating the full space of it.

def woodlands is behind in the amount they have publicly fielded (yet again), also the use of metronome + out of step marchers in the opener isn't a great look, but i strongly suspect their content scores will be... quite big. visual content alone will be hard to top.

If that football game recording is any indication of how they sound live, they sound GREAT. They could be "entering the chat" shortly, at least musically.

I'm quite surprised they didn't perform any of their ballad last night. Then again, I feel like this "slow crawl" show learning has been a thing for them since at least 2021, and they've dominated early season each season since then, so maybe it's not a big deal. I do think there's a window of opportunity for a band like Cy-Fair, especially with them performing last in prelims and having a more complete show, and if The Woodlands can't get that last minute or so of their opener up to their usual level of polish.
