Probably like 20 more staff changes.... jk lol Heres my top 10 for now 1. Sachse 2. Wax 3. Dville 4. Berkner 5. Forney 6. Rockwall 7. J.J Pearce 8. Lake Highlands 9. Rockwall Heath 10. Rowlett I know Sachse has a large director change, but I have no doubt that they will have a good season still. As long as they can take what they learnt last year from one of my favorite Sachse shows if not 2024 shows, they will have another state year. I think that Berkner could have a good enough show to make state again and sneak in the Top 4. If they can match something similar to that 2023 show I'd love to see it. I think Rowlett could be a hidden gem this year, not sure what it is but I have a feeling they could be a sleeper this year, so keep an eye out for them. Richardson and Royse are also good picks for finals as well, excited to see how this area turns out.

Looks like Southlake has this on their calendar as well.

Directors, I would like to cordially invite your small-school marching band to participate in the Lake Whitney Marching Classic on October 11th, 2025! The competition will be held at Wildcat Stadium in Whitney, TX. Whitney is about 35 miles north of Waco and 45 miles south of Alvarado and Waxahachie.

I agree on Lake Highlands being one of those schools that could sneak higher than they can. I remember seeing a clip of them early last year like September and I was impressed even then. Really wish I saw their show in person. I agree with Royse City too, they are one of those schools that I think anyone would love to make finals, would be really cool to see. For duncanville, I think they'll probably do fine but other schools can definitely take advantage (Berkner or Rockwall or maybe LH). I think Sachse will stay put at 1st though, the first time I heard their show last year I was in awe the whole time.

I’m ready for Argyle’s domination of this area to return. I think it will be soon!
