I know that UIL and BOA are very different, but based off of the recent performances and results at area yesterday, specifically Area H (*ahem* Vista Ridge), are there any new predictions or opinions for San Antonio?

If anything, yesterday’s results made things even more confusing and crazier for this weekend.

I think over the past few years we have seen crazy and even shocking area results that do not correlate to this competition so I would say anything can happen for sure. Look at the 2016 Woodlands, barely advanced to state in their Area but ended up taking 2nd overall at this competition and even beat Flower Mound in GE during prelims.

Honestly I tend to throw out area results in terms of order in the context of trying to predict San Antonio. They rarely ever correlate to San Antonio scores, more times than not being wildly different. I still remember when myself and 90% of these forums wrote off the woodlands for a 10-14 finish in 16 after Northshore beat them at area, and we all know how San Antonio went that year. Or when Bell failed to advance in 14 but still made a fairly strong showing at SA. That being said I see Vista placing in the top half, but I would have said that regardless of area results.

Vista definitely medals and Haltom makes finals.

I’m not ready to say Vista Ridge medals but I would be far from mad about it if they did.

 

I think it’s Reagan, CTJ, and TWHS for the podium here. I do expect LISD-North and LISD-South to round out the top 7, with one of the five to end up 8th. I think FloMo, Leander, and Vista Ridge have the best chances to break into the top 3.

What makes you say Haltom makes finals?

Out of all bands last night . Bell and haltom had two out of the three most boa shows I’ve seen. With both group the GE. Is out the window. Do I think them or bell will make finals idk but I wouldn’t be suprised .

"Out of all the bands last night..." at Area B. FTFY

 

While Area B is a significant pond, BOA SA is a much larger lake.

Area B was extremely interesting. I'd say that Waxahachie was a surprise, and nobody expected Bell to place as low as they did (you have to feel for those kids). Furthermore, bands like Coppell and Duncanville are favored much more in UIL than BOA. I was surprised to see Haltom and Bell fairly low, and see perhaps Prosper and Coppell overtake them at BOA SA, especially because Prosper, Coppell, and Haltom go right after each other.

Coppell has always been a band that peaks very late in the season, and usually starts slow. I don’t expect them to make finals, but I would not be shocked to see them in the 15-20 range.

I think there is a band in that area whose initials are TC that would have a little something to say about that... Although their BOA contest count is less than that of UIL, they have already had more success in those types of contests. Two regional medals (Bronze and Gold), four regional top 10 finishes, and two Super Regional appearances, with one of those being a top 20 finish. All of that in the last four years. They have a tough task ahead of them with their panel placement, performance time, etc., but I think they are probably tired of being an afterthought. Expect them to come in with a chip on their shoulder.

TC beat all of the bands that advanced to state except for Keller at BOA DFW. They will be on fire in San Antonio.

agreed. I'm excited to see them bounce back from Area.
