[TrenBS]

Yall know Wylie East isnt going to this right? 😅

Ive also seen the McKinneys, Prospers, Keller, L.D, and Wakeland, so Im fairly confident with at least the finalists, could be wrong though since its an opinion

OMG IM ACTUALLY BLIND😭😭😭, have edited my predictions 

 

Yeah, I’ll probably be wrong with some, my current are just based off the end of last season, but I’d be surprised if anyone predicts this comp 100% right

100% prediction definitely aint gonna happen lol, but I do have confidence in McKinney schools, at least Boyd and North since they are significantly better than last year as of now, High has improved but they need a few more years, I had like 3 paragraphs written out but felt like a bit much, if anyone wants my reasoning I would rather dm than make a wall of text🙃

[Tubalord11]

Mustang is no longer on the participation list so it would seem they are officially no longer coming here  

At least they will still be at midland for those going/watching live, but this contest is stacked enough as it is, and I'd imagine they would have made finals here so that now opens up a spot for another band to sneak into the top 12!

They were SO GOOD last year!  I loved getting to see them live in Waco last October. 🥰

As an alumn I very much appreciate this! I’ve seen their first two movements, and while visually it’s talking some time to clean, mainly bc it’s a lot of harder stuff, they sound VERY LOUD and good for their size! I think while they wont make finals, they may place higher than some expect, and I think they will have another very successful season. It’s a great show with tons of visual GE and the music selections are great, and the kids are performing it so well right now! Unfortunately they’ll only be doing prelims at golden Triangle this year due to homecoming being that evening, but it’ll be fun to see how they do at Wylie and here! I’d imagine they’ll win their class, so we’ll get to see them again in the evening!

SHEESH!!! That is an EARLY performance for Lovejoy. I wonder how this will affect them from taking the class AA champion title and being in finals exhibition.

they should be fine. Wakeland was the 2nd band to go on at this comp last year around this time and won their class and finished second overall so Lovejoy will be fine. I'd imagine it's because they have region later in the day, it's not till 2:45, so they will have time to rest, rehearse some more, and then come back here after for retreat. I've seen the first two parts of the show, and they look and sound fantastic for this part of the year. Tons of GE both musically and visually. I just don't see them not winning their class. Grapevine is really the other band imo that has the potential to win it, but they aren't close to the same "tier" as Lovejoy, and Lovejoy will be performing in much cooler weather, which will definitely be a factor for Grapevine. So unless Lovejoy has a bad performance, they should win their class still.

Mustang is no longer coming here. However, other than that it's a pretty solid list. I don't see Timber Creek out of the top 6 personally, nor Hendrickson probably in the top 6, but at this point we won't know anything until the first few weeks of competition so anything is possible as of now! They are bold and I like it

Probably never but all I know is Southlake got 7th at nats and Keller made 14th at San Antonio. From what I see, Southlake is only getting better.

Ok cool.  I wasn't sure if maybe it happened in the 90s or something but I know that as long as I've followed they have never been behind them.  I like the trajectory of Carroll right now though.  I'm hoping they will continue to improve.  They've definitely got the resources.

* With everyone of my predictions, these placements can be swapped as the season goes on. This is based off past years where I’ve seen these schools marched (been watching since 2015), and videos I have seen of these bands. In no way shape of form am I being bias towards any school, nor am I putting down any band. Please let me know your thoughts, and I’ll adjust accordingly.

Very solid list! These are the bands I have making finals, a little bit of a different order but finals will probably look somewhat like this

I posted them on page 3 of the forum but I think Keller will win and Bell 2nd and Wakeland 3rd. Of course after dfw they may and probably will change 

[Tubalord11]

Less than two weeks until this giga-stacked contest! Looks like Tom Glenn is officially off the schedule as of today. After seeing some of the bands at Wylie that will be here, I've definitely got some new thoughts, I'll wait till after this weekend for my final predictions: 

Lovejoy: after talking to some of the members, it seemed like some of them were struggling to deal with the heat. They had a pretty bad performance compared to how they have done recently, but based on what I heard they still placed one out of finals by 4 of so points. Music is what really killed them as I thought it would, but I still think they are the frontrunner for AA, could see them not winning music just based on how they did at Wylie, but it sounds like the members know it wasn't great and are motivated to come out strong here, and with going in such great weather, I'm definitely expecting a much stronger performance from them here. 

Mckinney Boyd/North: I could definitely see both of these schools making finals after how they did this past weekend. I feel like North's show is more of a BOA how than Boyd's, but both were extremely strong and very entertaining. Very excited to see them again next weekend! 

Mckinney/Midlothian/Walnut Grove/ Lake Ridge: I don't think because of the depth we will see these bands make finals. I feel like Mckinney, unless they somehow make finals, won't be super far out. Lake ridge definitely isn't a strong as they were volume wise last year, and it's not the most interesting show design wise, but they are executing it well. The other two just aren't really finalist potential imo, but I'm very excited to see how they do after some cleaning.

Idk if HEB would modify this prediction, but Timber Creek just beat Keller. I do think it wouldn’t change since Keller usually has their life figured out by this point of the season. It’s something to consider, but I am moving Timber Creek up to 6th/8th and moving everyone else down one.

[crunchycookie3]

I have a really difficult time seeing LD Bell outside of the podium. Based on what I've seen, they're having their best show in years! I think they'll be looking at their first TX medal in 10 years here.
