Centennial's visual scores are what got them 3rd. They have an entertaining show and they're a good band but there were a lot of mistakes. Richland took first place at their BOA comp in September then again at the US Bands Burleson regional. They are a top contender. I can't wait to see how all these bands perform at State! meowmeowmeow11 and RRBND27 2 Quote

Richland won a BOA comp that any respectable TX band would have won and US Bands Burleson wasn’t exactly stacked, although I do wonder what happened to Byron Nelson there. BC had a much rougher draw on an awful Saturday than Richland did. I think that was a factor as much as anything. The dome will be much friendlier. Quote

Yeah I agree, don’t think they will do bad at state compared to Area Quote

It's when they're at their best, how much of a jump will that be. Will it be enough? Richland has been solid all year and I thought they had enough to win last night, but Aledo had other plans. Aledo oozed of confidence last night like they knew they were the team to beat! It was a huge advantage they were able to perform last in the Finals too. BC should perform better at State and nothing against the other areas, but I firmly believe that the 5A State Champion will come from Area F. Should be a classic and I can't wait. 🫣 Get to S.A. next week if you get the chance! It will be one for the ages! BandMom07 1 Quote

I personally see Area H taking the State Championship though because Rouse and Cedar Park have been on fire all season! But I definitely think that one of the medals is going to be between Area B and Area F because of how those bands have been doing all season. Can't wait to see how everything unfolds next week!
