Have sworn off predictions after happy and sad surprises this year….haha. 
 

However, maybe I will try again. I found the list of judges, need to see what I can find out about them. 
 

Question, because it may impact predictions…their visual judges say “GE/Visual”  do they use a boa model of judging here over uil?

 

They used UIL last time I checked

Yeah, since Covid they’ve been using the 7 judge state sheets

I will be heading over to Region 25 at Kimbrough stadium this weekend to see the 6A bands.  Should be able to compare PESH to Wylie and Wylie East.  Also hoping PSHS has improved since McKinney Invitational.  I haven't seen either of the Wylie shows yet, excited to see them.  Anyway, hoping to gain some clarity where PESH stands in the competition.

Amazing lineup!! Super happy everyone gets two performances, really lets these bands get more and new feedback between prelims and finals, would definitely be going if I didn’t have a game this day, it’s gonna be a great time for those going!!

[lost]

Love to see Lake Travis here! A little curious why they’re here instead of going to TMC last weekend, but it’s good to see them supporting a program like Duncanville.

All bands to finals! Live on field interviews post performance, fan favorite votes and "chill" areas to relax midvday if needed.

An 1.5 hour break, after just 4 bands seems strange to me. 
 

Awards at 4, and all 16 bands going to finals…anybody have a a guess on what time finals would start (my guess is 6pm) and how they have ordered finals in past? Have a 3rd child with a commitment that day we have to work around. 😂

Really great lineup, and happy all bands get to perform twice! Awesome seeing Lake Travis come down, will be fun to see how they stack up against SLC, Wylie, Rockwall, Central, Ect. Other than saying Hebron will win, there’s plenty of room for everyone to shock some people with placements! 

I have a crazy hunch that this contest is going to have some eyebrow raising results. Hebron will march away with a 2-3 point win imo. 
 

However, I have a sneaking feeling that Rockwall is going to sneak up on someone like Keller, SLC, or Wylie. Even though all 3 beat Rockwall at BOA prosper….OWB going to surprise someone and leave them wondering what happened. 
 

Super curious to see point differences between the Area 6C bands going 1 week out from Area…contest. Depending how things fall, it could be a mad dash to Nov 2 and that 6AC board will be 🔥 🔥 🔥 for the week.

Yes- finals will start at 6pm. Reverse placement order. Awards at 10:15pm after D-ville exhibition performance.

I think the times are off on the one link above.  Here is a link to their Instagram page.

Awesome, thanks...yup, I'm going to need the RHS OWB to kick butt in prelims and get into those last block of finalist so I can get my 3rd kid where she needs to be and be back!  Ha.

Does anyone know how a band gets invited here or why requirements they have to meet?
