Some predictions based off of past competition results and band programs’ recent history.

*1. Wakeland (0.05 behind Marcus at Prosper

*2. Lonestar (11th place at Prosper)

————

*3. Lebanon Trail (Although reedy beat them out at Wylie, every year they pick up their slack a lot before area and rise the ranks, but they could fall off following their 5th place in prelims last year)
 

*4. McKinney North (They’ve performed the same style of show 3 years in a row now, but as shown by past results it works for them as UIL likes it and that’s what they’re most likely going to stick with.)

5. Argyle (I’ve heard they’re having their best year yet and also seen their show and it looks pretty great, but I don’t know if it’ll be good enough to rise above LT and MKN.)

6. The Colony (Placement could really be anywhere depending on how good their run is, TC is a very hard band to rank due to their runs in videos having different stick outs in each one. But following their cleaning before area and a good run, they could give 3-5 a run for their money.)

7. Reedy (Unfortunately haven’t been able to see their show so this is just off of how I’ve heard they’re doing and past year results, I can’t see them skyrocketing up to top 4 like some people have been saying even though they placed well at their competitions, but I could always be wrong, excited to see what happens with this band at area.)

8. Emerson (Placed right above the colony at BMI but 12 points below in prelims, unless there’s some serious cleaning and fixing with their consistency, they’ll be stuck in the bottom 5 of finals.

9. Walnut Grove (They’re too new of a school to fly up the ranks that quickly, I’d love to be proved wrong, but I can’t imagine them being above some of the bands that have been at this for 5+ years at least.)

10. Independence (although they missed finals last year I believe they got screwed over by being the first performing band and having to perform in the freezing cold with rain, I think they make it back into the top 10 but don’t fly above some of the bands wit more accomplishments this year.)

3-9 are definitely a toss up, it all depends on who cleans the most before area and has the best run.

you must be new here- we don’t talk like that to other bands. we’re all in this together at the end of the day. keep the negativity to yourself.

So, the big battle is Wakeland vs Lone Star for 1st?

They both looked great last weekend.  Does Wakeland going later in the schedule give them a bit of an edge in scoring?

Reedy was very good too..  I thought Centennial and Emerson was impressive.

I definitely agree with this prediction, of offense to reedy or other band that are having a great season, but I feel like there are so many reedy kids in this form that skyrocket their band up. Doesn’t mean that they can’t place that high, just think this might be the most accurate.

Agree with this. Wakeland got 2nd at prosper while lone star got 11th.

Reminder that BOA and UIL judging are very very different, and a lot can happen in 2 weeks. I agree Wakeland is having an amazing year and will most likely come out on top, but it could be closer than many are thinking for 1 and 2.

Has anyone predicted placements based on performances at UIL last Saturday yet?

I saw almost all bands at uil here's my predictions:
1. Wakeland
2. Lone Star
3. Argyle/McKinney North
4. Argyle/McKinney North
5. LT/Reedy
6. LT/reedy 
7. The Colony
8. Emerson
9. Memorial/Centen
10. Memorial/Centen

My 7-10 is probably very inaccurate but these are just my predictions. Although I don't personally like North's show design, UIL likes them. Feedback is appreciated.

I feel like Independence and or Walnut Grove should be on here somewhere. I’ve seen different videos and while looking at other predictions they seem to be present. Did you get a chance to see either of them because I do know they were pretty late at region?

Alright fine I’ll throw my hat in the ring 😅

 

1st - Wakeland/Lone Star (both are just soooooo clean)

2nd - Wakeland/Lone Star 

3rd - Lebanon Trail (known to be clean by area)

4th - Reedy/The Colony/Argyle/McKinney North (scores will be either really close, or spread out a lot imo)

5th - Reedy/The Colony/Argyle/McKinney North

6th - Reedy/The Colony/Argyle/McKinney North

7th - Reedy/The Colony/Argyle/McKinney North

8th - Emerson/Walnut Grove (Scores were really close last year)

9th - Emerson/Walnut Grove

10th - Independence/Memorial/Frisco Centennial/Heritage

 

Im trying not to base my rankings off of previous comp scores since they all happened over 2 weeks ago and these comps rarely mimic UIL judging. 👍

Out of the shows everyone has seen for this area, generally what has been your favorite in concept, content, design, and over all execution? Call it GE if we want

Honestly, I'm enjoying the shows from both McKinney North and Reedy this year. I appreciate the risks being taken in both of those shows, and I really enjoy watching them. For Reedy its nice seeing how expressive that show is. Also, for north not really seeing the "redundancy" claim hold up, except for just being another show with jazz charts. Then again, I have always preferred the fun and story-driven types of shows over the more abstractly designed ones.
