Do we have any clue as to when the Schedule will drop?

Probably in a week or two before the comp. I’m imagining their waiting to make sure all schools that are going or considering to pay before making the schedule since there’s like 3 other comps in the DFW area this same day (Boa Bedford, Wylie, Don Hanna)

Really strong lineup! I’d Rockwall is probably the favorite, though I could honestly Emerson winning after seeing them, they are soooo good this year!!  Here’s my predictions:

1. Rockwall (visual)

2. Emerson (music) 

3. Lewisville/ Pearce 

4. Pearce/ Lewisville 

5. Independence (guard)

6. Plano East 

7. Memorial 

8. Boswell (Perc) 

9.Highland Park

10. Melissa/Plano Senior/walnut grove/heritage/

Great competition and a lot of openings in finals without the Wylie’s present this year!  I think Rockwall will come away with a win this year but Louisville might take it! 

1. Lewisville/Rockwal!

2. Rockwall/Lewisville

3. Pearce

4. Emerson: I had a chance to go to one of their football games, and they sound amazing! They've definitely improved and i'm all here for it. Also a huge fan of the theme. I’m enjoying their music as well and they’re building this year’s show very well!

5. Walnut Grove: This is a hot take but I personally believe that this year they’ve filled into their shoes as a program and after watching them at their football game vs Emerson I’m confident they can make top 5

6. Independence: Great guard and overall musicality and visuals throughout every year so I’m sure this year their priorities will be no different.

7. Plano East: I got a chance to see them last year and there was much to enjoy about their band and this year I’m sure they’ve built and continued to grow from that. I’m looking forward to hearing them this year!

8. Memorial: I got a chance to listen to them at the Frisco Marching Band Showcase and they’re on really good pace this year. They could be higher but this is where I see them in my mind. I’m also in love with their props!

9. Highland Park: I’ve also yet to hear Highland Parks show but I have a feeling they’re going to start a climb back to the top like in 2019 and 2021 and I’m curious to where the program will find itself this year 

10. Boswell: I know very little about this band so I can’t accurately rank them but it’ll be great to listen to what they’ve got

Bro my audio wasn’t working for some reason 😭 they did do a train show last season so I’m a bit curious as to why another one, though MN has been doing multiple jazz shows so maybe their trying to do something like that??

I went to the Emerson vs Walnut Grove game! Both bands sound really good! I love Emerson’s music!

I really like the lineup that MMI has this year, none of the schools really feel far ahead of the others, and there's a large amount of participation compared to the local competitions also occuring this day, hopefully this competition could get moved off from the BOA Bedford weekend we could see this contest grow as a sort of "pre-UIL" style of judging and competition, since the sheet is much closer to how UIL judges compared to BOA

Can’t remember if Rockwall went last year but know they went 2 years ago. It’s a great venue and agree, this could be anyone’s day.
