That's neat! When they last competed in 2021, they placed 18th/26. Hoping this year they move up, and with the epic show reveal, I think they absolutely could. Was there any other Competitions listed in that band calendar other than UIL?

The only other one on their schedule is a local one at PNG on October 5 and of course the normal UIL. And yes, we are all very very excited for the show this year. I have seen the garden uniforms and I love them. I can’t share them yet, but I love them. They also have a bigger guard this year than they’ve had the last couple. Very, very excited. 

[J-Mike16]

I am too really excited. With Area C getting to be extremely competitive now, I'm just hoping Lumberton tightens up on the visual front as numerous times in the past, its been the visual department that kills Lumberton. I can not wait for the fall!! 😁

Gotcha lol

Clear Brook will be attending.

Not sure if LSP noticed this but I think they have (in the shadows) silently released who is all coming to this year's event. In their Facebook posts, they tend to tag every band that normally attends. So here are the bands that have been tagged in the more recent posts.

• Bridgeland HS
• Caney Creek HS
• Clear Brook HS
• College Park HS
• Cy-Ranch HS
• Cypress Springs HS
• Klein Cain HS
• Klein Collins HS
• Klein Forest HS
• Klein HS
• Klein Oak HS
• Lumberton HS
• Magnolia HS
• Magnolia West HS
• North Shore Senior HS
• Oak Ridge HS
• Splendora HS
• Tomball Memorial HS
• West Fork HS

That's 19 bands as of 3 days ago. Is it 100% confirmed, no not yet. But I believe many of the bands tagged are in fact confirmed on going. I think Jersey Village dropped this contest.

Excited to see how NSS holds against Bridgeland, who id say is the favorite to win, though Clear Brook could also make a statement. Really strong lineup! 

[Sideswiperr]

Predictions for LSP:

1. Bridgeland
2. North Shore
3. Tomball Memorial
4. Klein Oak
5. Clear Brook
6. College Park
7. Oak Ridge
8. Klein/Cy-Ranch
9. Klein/Cy-Ranch
10. Klein Collins/Klein Cain/Cy-Springs 
    I lack knowledge on the lower 8-12 range so it could be anything, if you know anything about my predictions, it’s that they are usually WRONG. Lol

[0415dci]

Since Bridgeland is reigning champions 2 years in a row (I'm pretty sure) I def put them t 1st

[J-Mike16]

Would it be just slightly crazy for me to say that Lumberton could be a dark horse for Finals? Having seen half of their show already, it has full potential to shine here. 

They are totally sounding like a much bigger band than what they actually are.
