I made these predictions a couple days ago, based on watching some UIL area videos and looking at those results (I am aware that UIL and BOA judge differently, just wanted to see where they stood), and this is what I came up with:
1 Flower Mound (hands down the favorite)
2 Ronald Reagan
3 Claudia Taylor Johnson
4 Marcus
5 Hebron 6 Vandegrift
7 Leander (had a difficult time deciding between Marcus, Hebron, Vandegrift, and Leander)
8 Cedar Park
9 Keller (could even finish a little higher, they're doing some special things this year!)
10 Round Rock
11 L.D. Bell
12 The Woodlands
13 Hendrickson
14 Westlake
Just missed the cut
Cedar Ridge
Churchill
Plano East
Woodlands College Park
Vista Ridge
James Martin
There are easily about 20-25 bands that could qualify for finals, this contest is so wide open. It'll be fun to see!
