I personally think currently this will go to Fossil Ridge, but I could definitely see NC take it. FR has had their two best seasons these past two, and only see them getting better, however NC also had a great season last year, so I could see it being close between the two

Yeah I suppose I could see it that way. Seeing North Crowley beating Fossil Ridge at Area this past season prompted me to give them a win, but then again some results are completely disagreed with. But both programs have seen a big success this past season so it's gonna be one of these two.

Just curious, do you know why? I suppose it might be homecoming but idk.

[BandNerd07]

So it looks like Weatherford is now on the list as a Group IV band.

I didn’t even notice this lol 😂 

Well yeah I’d give them the win currently as well then, though obviously it depends on how each group in this season, but I’m happy some of the other groups in area B that have been a few out of finals are starting to rise up post-Covid

TBH idk why but I am pretty sure it’s homecoming because our dance should be the night of this comp and last year we weren’t able to go due to getting back home late from area

Yeah, it always sucks having area the day of a homecoming dance. Fortunately, my band program has never had to worry about that. I know in 2022, Burleson Centennial straight up opted out of area, due to the dance being that same night.

[BandNerd07]

Well, it appears that there are some new faces at this comp, so finals is gonna be tough this year. With that being said, here's my predictions:

1. Birdville

2. North Crowley

3. James Martin

4. Fossil Ridge

5. Saginaw

6. Chisholm Trail

7. Cleburne

8. Castleberry 

9. Weatherford

10. Midlothian Heritage

[Percplayer19]

Birdville should be a top contender, they did quality for state against three tough bands above them in area F. Good luck Hawks

[Bass5Beater]

Sanger is no longer competing in this 

[melloenthusiast]

Me personally I think Fossil Ridge is probably going to make top 3 or 4, the competition against state level bands will be a challenge for the but they're coming off their best season yet and are only getting better.

Based on this my prediction is

1) Birdville or Fossil Ridge

2) Fossil Ridge or Birdville

3) James Martin

4) North Crowley

5) Cleburne

6) Saginaw

7) Chisolm Trail

😎 Weatherford 

9) Castleberry

10) Midlothian

YES! This is what I’ve been saying! Martin is taking home the state championship this year. They are one of, if not, the best band in Texas. I think they’re better than Hebron, and most DCI corps, including the Blue Devils. Proud to see where these kids go.

Apparently Castleberry didn’t make finals scoring ~78, while Eagle Mountain and Saginaw did scoring ~68

quite interesting hubert.

[Barisaxking]

Anyone know caption awards? We left and opted out of finals and our director just told us we placed first in group 3 and won best music Color Guard and Percussion. So I was just wondering how we did overall
