Oak Ridge is always very strong in music which is probably why they’ve made the top 25 at SA the past 4 years or so. They just need to work on their visual and GE to put them into finals.

And they are probably going to be even smaller next year since this year they still have their full senior class. I’m not sure if they’ll still be considered 6A after that.

I think just Oak Ridge, Cy Fair, and JET.

Amazing. I love how close Houston bands always are in skill, never knowing who’s going to top who at any given competition (except for The Woodlands of course) I haven’t heard much of Clements this season so I’m glad to see y’all are still performing well.

BRIDGELAND??? I don’t know much about them so I didn’t expect that. I had assumed it was Brazoswood or JET that got first. Good for them!

According to Oak Ridge’s Facebook page they got 2nd in prelims and perform at 9:15

Yay! I’m so happy for Grand Oaks! Congrats to all finalists!

If my memory serves me right, they are usually posted on the Lone Star Preview website Monday. That seems to be the trend of the past few years.

And wow! College Park not in top half?? I haven’t seen their show this year but based on how successful they’ve been these past few years, this is shocking.

Thanks for the updates! Of course the bands we knew for sure would make it made finals. Though I’m kinda disappointed to not see Grand Oaks make it. Even though I’m an Oak Ridge alumni, I technically live in the Grand Oaks feeder zone now so I of course want them to do well.

TWHSParent is among those here that always has well thought out and logical comments; I’m a fan. Anywho, I agree with their comment about people not putting BOA Houston in consideration. Obviously the area has less BOA SA finals “locks” than the other cities in Texas (only having The Woodlands) but their “bubble” bands are just as relevant and talented as the other areas. People seem to disregard them just because they’re from Houston.

Why is Klein Oak and College Park so high? Klein Oak made 20th and College Park 21st in Houston prelims while Brazoswood made 9th. I do recall College Park making a huge leap last year between BOA and Lone Star Preview but to put them above Brazoswood is bold.

Thank you for all your updates, TWHSParent! I hate not being able to be there.

Really rooting for Grand Oaks to do well. They’re a new school without a senior class but they have lots of potential.

I would definitely think so, however anything can happen. For example, last year SFA and Pearland placed in the top 2 at the Friendswood contest but didn’t even make finals at houston boa while Oak Ridge had got 3rd behind them at Friendswood and placed 6th in finals at boa the following week.
