Texas is awesome

This will be an unpopular opinion. Honestly watching these groups the past few weeks. Here is my order 1st. Dawson 2nd. Pearland 3rd. Clear Brook 4th. Dickinson 5th. B-Wood 6th. Austin 7th. Shadow Creek 8th Pasadena Memorial 9th Clements 10th Clear Falls First let me say Pearland is fantastic. But there is a lot of dirt in the show still. UIL is all about clean. The could care a little less about show design on the area level. In BOA Pearland will dominate I can’t wait to see them at grand nats finals if they can get clean they will be in the top 6 for sure. Maybe even medal!! As of right now Dawson is more clean at the moment. They achieve the drill well and play fantastic. The music they are asking of the performers is very challenging and they are doing it a great level. Now at state Pearland will probably be ahead of Dawson because of the variety of captions. That are offered there compared to area. The 3-5 in my placements This could obviously change. But these groups are fantastic!! I’m really excited to see how this plays out!!

How many bands will make finals this year?

I think it's funny we are trying to predict what bands will be in finals yes there are a few locks. But everyone knows the game now and this is the strongest year yet! It could be anyones game. Like look at Woodlands they where 7th in prelims at area then got 4th finals. I'm not trying to pick on them fantastic program! But just saying anything can happen! Band is not what it use to be and we are in a fantastic state that has so many wonderful programs it's kinda of getting hard to pick.

Will be really hard this year!

Where did you find the judges for this ?
