This contest is super stacked this year! Tons of regulars and new heavy hitters! Here’s my super early predictions: 

1st. Keller 

2. Centennial 

3rd. Duncanville

4th. C.H.

5th. Byron Nelson 

6th. Sachse 

7th. The Colony 

8th. Lovejoy 

9th. Trinity 

10th. Frisco Emerson

Sheesh, this is the most stacked this contest has been in a long time, I think since 2021. In 2022, there weren't a lot of bands that signed up so they just advance everyone to finals. As for 2023, more signed up, but there weren't enough significantly good bands here, maybe like 3-5, but this year is just on another level with talent. I think the "downfall" of this comp was with the introduction of BOA Prosper. In fact, I'm surprised that a lot of top tier bands signed up for here instead of Prosper... it definitely wouldn't be a bad idea to add 1 or 2 extra finals spots, but I'm not sure if they would do it though...

I wouldn’t underestimate Sachse they got 1st at Wylie invitational could see them place near or higher than Duncanville next contest and I could possibly see lovejoy getting higher but wouldn’t be surprised if they stay at 8th

You’re right, I changed my predictions over the weekend, not sure about lovejoy making finals here since they got 2nd to last at BOA Bedford, heard their staff went to Reedy but I’m not 100% certain.

They were 3rd to last, just over Anna and Krum, but yeah, with how stacked it is, they've definitely got an upward battle, but they were pretty close to Lake Ridge at Wylie, only 2 points behind them in prelims. Anyways, here's my final predictions for this contest, forgot about this one lol: 

1st. Keller

2nd. Burleson Centennial 

3rd. Sachse

4th. Duncanville 

5th. Colleyville Heritage  

6th. Emerson 

7th. Byron Nelson 

8th. The Colony 

9th. Mansfield 

10th. Lewisville 

 

First few out: Trinity, Fossil Ridge, Lovejoy Brewer

Feel like the top 8 is locks with a few bands fighting for the last two spots. Good luck to everyone who's gonna be here! Hope yall have great rehearsals this week!

Just saw the list of bands competing, this is a great list. You don’t to have to “Big Dogs” to have a great competition. After BOA Prosper, this may be the 2nd most stacked comp in metroplex this weekend. Curious to see how it shakes out.

Does anyone know why these bigger/ more successful schools are going to the Birdville comp rather than BOA Prosper? Just curious, some of these schools haven't been at Birdville the past few years : )

At least for Keller, they tend to stick to 2 BOA competitions a season, usually Bedford and San Antonio. Last year when they attended Prosper, they skipped out on Bedford. 

BOA competitions cost more to attend.  Double or almost triple other local contests. This is also only a 20 min drive vs over an hour to Prosper.

They usually compete at the HEB marching contest but looks like they took that out this year and added this contest. Maybe just wanted an extra week to learn their show before competing.

I vividly remember this contest the last time they attended and can’t wait to be back!
