Tenzineo Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Many of the top bands are competing at both BOA Austin and TMC, with the only big difference being Ronald Reagan so I expect the results to be similar. I'll wait until after BOA to make my final predictions, but I'm sure the top 6 will be In random order: James Bowie Cedar Park Vandergrift Leander Vista Ridge Ronald Reagan Nny14 1 Quote

trumpetdrumajorpower13 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Ohh thanks, I didn't know that Quote
dylan123 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 any new predictions after this weekend? Quote
HighSchoolBandNerd212 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I don't know if I will even have an order to my top 5 by the time the contest comes around. As far as the other bands go: - I'm convinced that Vista Ridge will earn that 6th place spot. - It appears that Anderson could supplant Friendswood for 7th place after Anderson placed 11th at BOA Austin yesterday, beating out Westlake, Westwood, and Pflugerville by notable margins. - If Georgetown does well at the Vista Ridge Marching Festival, that could be an indication of a finals breakthrough come October 10th.

natertater21000 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 This is going to be a very interesting contest to watch unfold, and I cant wait to see what everyone shows up with. This is about the time where for the first time bands take their entire show to contest. That being said, it makes things very very hard to predict especially with just how close 4 of the bands (Leander, Cedar Park, James Bowie, and Vandegrift) were at the Austin regional. However I do feel very confident in saying that those 4 bands plus Ronald Reagan will make up the top 5 come October 10th. Quote
dylan123 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 This looks like it will be a good year for Friendswood Quote
principalagent Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I don't even want to try to predict this anymore. HighSchoolBandNerd212 1 Quote
HighSchoolBandNerd212 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Some random thought is now telling me that Ronald Reagan could win this, but the rest of my brain is telling me that somehow, some way, there is going to be an upset, and the rest of the top 5 (which in my opinion are, in no particular order, Cedar Park, James Bowie, Leander, and Vandegrift) will be biting at each other's heels in terms of scores.

trumpetdrumajorpower13 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I have a feeling this is going to be one of the craziest competitions of the year. Quote
natertater21000 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 well I give up predicting anything beyond finalists at this point for any contest...with Reagan winning BOA Conroe I now feel like I know nothing anymore in the BOA/UIL landscape....may the best band win Quote
dylan123 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 can there be a live blog at this contest??? Quote
principalagent Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I think the Cedar Ridge Band Boosters do their own live blog for this event, if I'm not mistaken Quote

HighSchoolBandNerd212 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 They have one this year for certain: http://www.texasmarchingclassic.com/modules/fmcontent/content.php?topic=competition-specifics&id=26&page=live-blog Quote
