You’re right. Dare I say that Austin is probably the most competitive regional in the country? Or at least top 3.

 

I wish we could get a few out of state bands to come (read Oklahoma) but I realize we are too far into Texas for just about anyone outside the state to easily attend.

How is Anderson doing these days, they had one of my favorite shows of all time a few seasons back but I havent heard much lately.

We're mostly just getting back on our feet in my opinion. We've definitely put more focus on GE and I think our new show has a lot of potential, but also all of this naturally has a little bias seeing how I go there.

Very curious how John Horn will stack up against the competition. I admire their bold 2019 BOA schedule; I think it will take them very far this season.

Yes! This is the right attitude. End of the day on the 9th. No earlier, no later.

Any early predictions?

[ctex1994]

<p>If we were to go off of 2018 BOA SA Prelims scores</p>

<p> </p>

<p>1. CTJ</p>

<p>2. Vandegrift</p>

<p>3. Leander</p>

<p>4. Vista RIdge</p>

<p>5. Henrdrickson</p>

<p>6. Cedar Ridge</p>

<p>7. James Bowie</p>

<p>8. Cedar Park</p>

<p>9. Round Rock</p>

<p><u>10. Rouse                         </u></p>

<p>11. Lake Travis</p>

<p>12. Westwood</p>

<p>13. Pflugerville</p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Honestly - I think it could end up just like that!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>CTJ Winning - likely as they have done the past 2 seasons</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Vandy, Leander, Vista - could go any way with those 3. Given that Leander and Vandy are going to GN, ill give them the nod. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Rouse getting into finals for the first time - I think this might be the year!</p>

Those are always fun, eh? 

 

I'm thinking...

 

1)  CTJ

2)  Leander  

3)  Vista Ridge

4)  Vandegrift

5)  Round Rock

6)  Cedar Park

7)  James Bowie

8)  Cedar Ridge

9)  Hendrickson 

10)  Rouse

 

Let's be honest...the top 3 could be any combination of my top 7!  And CR or Hendrickson could sneak in as well.  Or ROUSE EVEN! I love this contest.

I think John Horn may have a shot of sneaking in.

You could be right!

I  have had some of my finals already, at least the college side. Now I have AP tests the next two weeks (I'm taking four this year, and will be taking seven(!!!) next year), and then immediately into finals for the high school side of things, and then SAT on June 1st. Fun. Definitely going to be a rough month ahead for me... just waiting for more info to be released on these forums to help me keep my sanity lol. That's why I want the lists to come out already

Let's face it.  I suck at predictions anyway.
