Katy marching festival

[bassboneman]

Another year brings another competition for the Katy Cup. Will Jordan come back and keep it after breaking 7L's 7-year streak? Will Seven Lakes be out to bring it back? Will Tomkins or Taylor make their way in and steal it? Will any others break into the mists? We will see! 

I will update info such as date and participation as soon it is released!

According to the Tompkins band calendar, the competition will be Saturday, October 11!

It seems to always be the second Saturday of October.

here are some of the bands that are attending from their calender: (this can change) 

 

Katy H.S

Mayde Creek H.S

James E. Taylor H.S

Cinco Ranch H.S

Patricia E. Paetow H.S

Jordan H.S

Freeman H.S

Jersey Village H.S

Westside H.S

This contest doesn’t seem as competitive as it was in the 2019-2021 era, mainly because  Lonestar Preview is on the same day.

On our calendar it says we either go to this comp or lone star preview but I hope we go to this one since we have a better chance at making finals than lone star 😊

Cypress Ranch had the same thing too, but I wasn’t completely sure if it was going to be this or Lonestar Preview. Either way I love to see more CFISD at Katy Marching Festival

Not just CFISD, but places like pearland and HISD areas like that for more diverse competition than just a smaller area comp preview.

I think they should decrease finals by just a tiny bit from 14 to 10 for more competition

I think it’s nice to see Cy ranch compare with the Katy groups here.

It will be. I would want to see another big name like Foster here just to see the mix. 

[bassboneman]

Super excited for this Katy cup. The comp will be better this year, I think.

Anyone have any way too early predictions for KMF (Assuming that Cy Springs and Ranch are going)? I know it should be pretty similar to area but I want to see if anyone has any different predictions. Personally I think Tompkins or JET can break into top 3.

Honestly, pretty valid. I think Seven lakes will have a strong start this year after getting dethroned last season though.

[Trombone_lover17]

My completely inaccurate prediction:

 

1. Seven Lakes (1-3)

2. Tompkins (2-5)

3. Cinco Ranch (2-4)

4. Jordan (2-5)

5. JET (2-5)

7. Cypress Ranch (4-7)

8. Katy (7-10)

9. Paetow (7-10)

10. Jersey Village (8-11)

11. Cy Springs (10-12)

12. Freemen (11-12)

First of all, no shade to Jordan, their show for next year seems really interesting, I just don’t see them winning back to back (I could be horribly wrong and they sweep all the captions, who knows). Also I’m obviously biased towards Tompkins but regardless I still think my predictions are reasonable based on the little that I know about the other bands.

I could see Cinco surpass Tompkins, they had a really strong season last year.

I know, that’s why I gave Tompkins a bigger range. Cinco was really successful last year, but their places were practically swapped from 2023, so anything can happen. To be fair, I don’t know very much about Cinco’s show next year except for maybe Swan Lake so they could be just as successful as last year or surpassed by the likes of Tompkins, Jordan or JET. Top 5 as a whole is pretty interchangeable except for Seven Lakes I think, but once again anything can happen!
