I want to first thank @Clarinot for allowing me to help operate the Prediction Game again this year! I've said it before, but I will say it again. I love being a part of our amazing TXBands Community, and therefore, being an admin for our Prediction Game means I am able to engage with all of you in a unique and meaningful way. It's an honor to contribute to the excitement and camaraderie that make our community so special. I want to also thank all the amazing people who decided to submit a prediction or two (or 108) in this year's game! Without people predicting, this game would just not be here. The Prediction Game is not just a game; it's an opportunity for us to engage deeply with the performances and each other. It brings a sense of anticipation and thrill that enhances our overall experience. Finally, I do want to thank all the individuals who helped me with either finding information or gathering results. It can be rather tricky when certain programs or competitions just don't provide the information that is needed for us to use for our amazing little game. I believe I am done here. Thank yall again for an amazing marching band season and another great year for our game! Every year it's getting tougher and tougher, so I suggest getting enough rest before the start of next marching season. It will be here sooner before you know it. Bye Guys!!
