BOA_DCI Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 With I very stacked finals group this year I wanted to see what everybody thought of grand nationals placements. BOA_DCI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOA_DCI Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 My predictions as of now are: 1. Broken Arrow HS, OK 2. Flower Mound HS, TX 3. Avon HS, IN 4. Carmel HS, IN 5. William Mason HS, OH 6. The Woodlands HS, TX 7. Marcus HS, TX 8. Blue Springs HS, MO 9. Round Rock HS, TX 10. Marian Catholic HS, IL 11. Castle HS, IN 12. Union HS, OK My first 5 out: 13. Homestead HS, IN 14. Dobyns-Bennett HS, TN 15. Owasso HS, OK 16. Winston Churchill HS, TX 17. Franklin HS, TN Notes on my predictions: my rankings as of now are based on each band's current track record and history the past few years, I think that the consensus top 3 are Avon, Flomo, and Barrow; followed by a grouping of Carmel, Mason, Woodlands, and Marcus where any of those 4 could easily win given the right show. The rest of finals is pretty up in their it all depends on the show and performance. We'll definitely find out more information as we get closer to the season.

MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Honestly right now this is what I have: 1. Flomo 2. BA 3. Avon 4. The Woodlands 5. Carmel 6. William Mason 7. Marcus 8. Round Rock 9. Blue Springs 10. Marion Cathol 11. Castle 12. Union It's early in the season, but flomo has blossomed to gods in the last three years and the woodlands has consistently put out amazing shows and won in 2013, and I am confident Texas bands will come up big this year. And I know that I have Avon lower at SA, but I have been thinking a lot lately about them. I still think BA can beat them. Marion Catholic could of course surprise everyone with yet another win though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOA_DCI Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 For me The Woodlands, Marcus, and Round Rock are pretty hard to place. While The Woodlands won in 2013 they're return in 2015 resulted in 6th place. It all depends on the show the Woodlands have this year. Marcus is a huge hit or miss. In 2013 they placed 5th at Nats, but in 2012 they obliterated everyone at San Antonio and would've medaled had they gone to Nats. Round Rock placed 4th at Nats in 2013 and then 2015 placed 7th. I know there are so many factors that go into placement, I just think it's hard to predict these 3 groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOA_DCI Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 On a side note: In 2015 Carmel placed 5th at Nationals, and last year many people projected them to place 6th but they ended up winning. So anyone could win. Like I said in my first post Carmel, Mason, The Woodlands, and Marcus are severally underrated coming into the 2017, but I think any of those 4 could medal or even win.

I wonder how Mason will do. It sounds like they had some dramatic changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zururoua Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'd love to see TWHS take first, they've put on some of my favorite productions, especially last year's. We'll have to see if they can top Flomo and the usual crew but I'll make my real picks once we have any idea what's going on with everyone.

18Saxes Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 1. Broken Arrow 2. Avon or Carmel (I can not decide) 3. Avon or Carmel 4. Flower Mound 5. William Mason 6. The Woodlands 7. Marcus 8.

MadisonBandMan1 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think that if flomo is as clean if not more clean then last year at SA when they go to SA this year, with the extra week-ish of time to clean, they will win here.

I see either flomo or TWHS, TX taking the Music caption, although most likely flomo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carmel one is private, sent to me by a friend who attended one of their practices, I can not remember the name of the video for avon's show, but it might have been a default youtube title.
