BaritoneBallah Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Decided to throw my hat in for a early season prediction 1st Vandegrift (AAAA) With what looks like CTJ missing this regional, I believe its clear Vandegrift will take it. 2nd Cedar Ridge (AAAA) So these next 5 are pretty interchangeable however Since CR’s 6th place finish at San Antonio last year, I have pretty high expectations from them. However they did also start the season somewhat rougher then where they ended up last year, so I could see them lower and peaking towards the end of the season. 3rd Vista Ridge (AAAA) I see Vista starting to work their way back to where they once were. that being said they have been know to choke a finals run 4th Rouse (AAA) Rouse is stepping up their show this year and i think its gonna be very rewarding for them. they were easily the smallest band in the top 30 at San Antonio and managed to get 11th in prelims and 13th in finals. this is an up and coming group who will be competing to be the regional champion sooner or later. 5th Leander (AAA) You can’t go wrong with leander! Easily one of the most fun groups out there. I believe this season for them will be similar to their last as they continue to adjust to their even smaller size and new head director. 6th Cedar Park (AAA) I love to see that Cedar Park is starting to return to their former glory. However this group is likely going to have a rough early season, “Why?” you may ask? They’re going to have mirrors as backdrops which will expose their visual (which is their worst caption) really bad, I believe the backdrops could do wonders later in the season but not early season when the drills still dirty. They would be lower but their superb music skills will keep them in the top 6. 7th Westlake 8th Round Rock 9th Hendrickson 10th James Bowie 11th Westwood 12th Wiess/ Lake Travis Music: Vandegrift (maybe CR) Visual: Vandegrift GE: Vandegrift (maybe rouse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave609 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I could see Vandegrift winning it. Vista Ridge is also a good contender to win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanderMomma Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 I think it’s a toss up this year and I think Cedar Park will do better than expected. I do think it’s highly likely that Vandy wins it but you never know! That’s what I love about Texas. We don’t have a Carmel or an Avon predetermining the outcome of our contests. 😉 gregorydf01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they were just ready to change things up a bit this year! Also, they are beginning school a week earlier than they are accustomed to (Aug 10) so they won’t have as much time as they are used to having to learn the entire show. BOA Austin comes quick!

While CP has had some difficulty in ensemble visual, their individual visual scores are consistently their highest placing caption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FaultLineBlues Posted August 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2022 Genuinely shocked to see Cedar Ridge performing in a slot that isn't in the first block. Feels like a curse has been lifted. LeanderMomma, gregorydf01 and BaritoneBallah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origin Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Saw a video of Leander from yesterday (seems to be taken down now). It looks like they’ve weathered the director changes pretty well. Brass had some great moments. There was a cool snare solo (think Blue Knights 2017 or Keller 2018). It was concerning that the guard didn’t have any work out there though.

lost Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Now I may be biased because I’ve only seen 4 or 5 bands this year but Vista Ridge really surprised me. I think they truly have the potential to break into the top. It’s not the cleanest and may lag behind at Austin but I really think it’ll catch up later on in the season and it’s my best belief that a top 3 at both UIL and San Antonio is possible. brassdragon and gregorydf01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaultLineBlues Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 There's a recording of Cedar Parks show from tonight up on YouTube. It's not the best quality, and the video has a title that seems to take a shot at Cedar Ridge for no real reason, but hey it's there if anyone wants to find it.

Music is pretty interesting as well. Visual design seems solid, but it's definitely missing some of the bells and whistles right now.
