I really wonder what the lineup is going to look like! I definitely could see this mainly being the programs around the Melissa area all coming here like Denison, Sherman, maybe the McKinney schools? I’m hoping it’s not just all smaller 4A schools, and we get some good 5A/6A programs, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if it was a lot of smaller bands. Exciting regardless!

McKinney High is going, North and Boyd staff dont like doing comps that early so they wont, could see happening in the future if the yearly UIL thing doesnt work out and we get the “BOA” years

Can't wait to see how McKinney High does here!

This is gonna be a hard comp to predict for sure! My current top 3 would probably be McKinney Celina and Rowlett, but I definitely could see Canton sneaking in there with Princeton rounding out the current top 5.

new bands have been added to the list, making it 18 at the moment-

Added-

China Spring HS (4A)

Queen City HS (3A)

Sunnyvale HS (4A)

Van Alstyne HS (4A)

While there are many strong bands like Canton and Celina going, I currently feel like this is McKinney's to lose. While making area finals has continued to be a struggle recently, they always seem to do very well at the beginning of the season, and with what their schedule is looking to be like next season, and also, it does seem like it takes the 4A programs a little longer to get going, I’d be pretty surprised if they don’t walk out on top.

Definitely watch out for Lakeview Centennial! They’ve definitely been on this ride recently, could definitely see them in the top 5!

Top 5?! That is a little too high in my opinion.

Idk man! I’d say definitely behind Mckinney, Celina, Boswell, and maybe Anna, but yeah, they’d be my pick for 5th right now. They seem to have a good amount of their show out early on, and while they haven’t had a ton of success with UIL, they are competing at one of if not the hardest Areas and still placing okay. And again, I feel like it takes the smaller 4A programs to really get going. Heck, last year Krum beat Celina but then didnt even get top 5 at area.

Okay it looks like Boswell will actually be coming here…maybe. They aren’t listed on the US Bands site anymore for the comp they were planning on attending this day, so guessing they are coming here?
