Anyone else think Del Rio could win this or am I just crazy?

I think they should medal - I would would say Timber Creek, Coppell and Del Rio (in no order) will take the medals

[bingogooberman]

Yes, you’re just crazy, but top half of finals is within grasp for them. I like them a lot, I’m glad they’ve pursued a rigorous BOA schedule these last few years

I don't think its crazy, their show is definitely a step up from last year.

Win over a quickly rising Timber Creek and a Coppell on the brink of a really great show?  Probably not, but after that it's wide open.

Coppell, Timber Creek and I must add Birdville. Last year was a difficult season for them with a new director coming in late and not really having the time to do what he wanted so I believe they will improve and make a good showing this year. I partial to BISD schools but the district does have excellent programs with Richland, Haltom and Birdville.

Do you guys think this Regional could be cancelled?

I can’t speak to its future beyond 2018 but there have been regionals in the northeast and southeast with less than the 15 currently signed up here. I highly doubt they would cancel it.

 

I’m hoping more will sign up in the coming weeks.

I would agree - part could be that there was some question about the stadium it would be held in, it is in it's first year, and the season schedule. I am hopeful that this one will grow. there are so many powerful programs a short drive away in DFW and Austin

[DRbandDAD]

I have no doubt that Del Rio will place top 3 at this BOA. Del Rio will surprise everyone at other BOA's and UIL comp.....

[Guest]

It sounds crazy, but I dont think there's any limit to how high Del Rio can place here.

The enrolled bands list now includes the addition of Big Spring HS, Estacado Early College HS, and Pecos HS

They’re now on the calendar.

 

Excited to be here! Last year I ended up in the hospital unexpectedly that weekend so I didn’t get to go which sucked.

 

Excited to see BOA in my neck of the woods, a lot of

the programs up here have been improving pretty drastically so I’m hoping we will see quite a few of them in finals.

I'd switch Coppell and Timber Creek.

[josephbandfan]

I think its possible for Timber Creek to beat Coppell. I haven't seen anything from Timber Creek yet but they did beat Coppell at Boa DFW and San Antonio last year. Im not counting out Coppell but I need to root for my fellow Keller ISD 

[FEDude]

Since it's a State year, that might put Coppell over Timber Creek.

If we're just looking at last year though, that puts both bands very close with Timber Creek slightly ahead.

[Bandwoww]

I think both bands will definitely be better than they were last year, should hopefully be a close competition.

Anything’s possible, that’s for sure. But I think this will be hard (not impossible) for Del Rio to pull off. If TC can build on the momentum of last year and Coppell can bring a complete-ish program to the contest, they will be hard to beat.
