early predictions for this comp this year this is one of my favorite comps of the season and im exicited to see how this goes this year! 1 TC 2 mansfield 3 james martian 4north mesquite 5 birdville 6 little elm 7 lakeview 8 highland park 9 fossil ridge 10 highland park

I'm sure it will be a full event. I am curious to see how they run it. I know one year they had a Finals for 1A/2A/3A/4A and another Finals for 5A/6A. I think last year they didn't do it like that because not as many bands were there due to other competitions.

Princeton, right off Highway 380. You can't miss it.

West Mesquite is confirmed per their website calendar. Anyone else??

Interesting!!

Princeton

Where is this contest held?

Oh wow! Ours only gets that expensive for our new members because they have to buy flip folders, marching shoes, etc. but our color guard fees are INSANE! $300 for the color guard uniform, plus the $350 participation fee, and then another participation fee for the winter guard season.

Kind off, in 2023 they had a show called “Deconstructed, a journey through the creative process” so it’s like FlowerMound, but also not really.

didn’t flower mound do this recently

Could be a good one. Here are some quick predictions for now I'll probably fix them up later 1. Hebron 2. Prosper 3. Wakeland 4. Coppell 5. SLC 6. Timber 7. Keller 8. Sachse 9. Wax 10. Trinity/Berkner Once we get some more people confirmed I'll probably make an updated one

Here's my early predictions for this show this year. I'll make another one later in the season but this is what I have for right now 1. Mansfield (brass) (vis) (music) 2. Little Elm (percussion) (aux) 3. The Colony (ww) 4. North Mesquite 5. James Martin 6. Birdville 7. Lakeview 8. Frisco Centennial 9. Highland Park 10. Fossil Ridge I have them in bubbles where they could all be interchanged with one another. I think that the top 4 will be a big battle especially with some underdogs in the top 5 last year (LE,NM) so I think it could be a fun contest to show up to for those interested in going to a contest that weekend. Excited to see how this contest ends up. I'm especially interested to see how North Mesquite does in this contest, I loved their show last year

Newman Smith HS is confirmed to be attending via calendar

yea ours are like $1300

Not to mention the Mesquite comp falls on this day which takes a good chunk of bands away from attending this comp.

plano east will also attend

Prosper Richland HS: "Home Sweet Home"

This contest will be held on 9/13/25 in Nevada, TX

This contest will probably be VERY tiny next year, with 3 of the top 4 not showing next year (Pearce, LH, Little Elm), this could either be an oppurtunity for some program to shoot up but it could also lead to like 5 people only showing up, especially with the rise of the Melissa and Wylie comps

2025 PEMI will be held on Sept 27, 2025 in Murphy, TX Confirmed bands: Varsity Guyer HS Newman Smith HS Panther Creek HS Plano West HS Non-Varsity Plano Clark HS Plano McMillen HS Plano Vines HS Plano Williams HS

Shadow Creek's 2025 show is entitled " The Red Balloon " featuring the selections from: Hans Zimmer Richard Saucedo Sara Bareilles - Look for the Light David Gillingham Their show follows a French film where " a boy discovers his balloon has a mind of its own."

I always love this one because TC and Mansfield always battle it out but I could also see some shakeups happening, a lot of these middle groups here are really moving up, will be another great year for this comp

Hey everybody! I’m super excited for this year’s marching season with all the amazing bands and UIL division realignments happening after this year! I was wondering if anyone would like to share their band’s show music and theme for this year and how they feel about it so far.

This contest will be held 10/4/25 in Denton, TX Confirmed (calendar): Birdville HS Fossil Ridge HS Frisco Centennial HS Highland Park HS Kennedale HS Lakeview Centennial HS Little Elm HS Mansfield HS Mesquite HS North Mesquite HS The Colony HS
