This is going to be a heavy contest with some great bands being left out of finals. Should be an interesting day. I wonder if there will be any finals upsets like two years ago.

Wow. It looks like Melissa fell this year. Does anybody know what happened?

I wouldn't discount Plano East this year. Last year, they had a visual designer crap out on them mid-season after only designing 1/4 of the show. A new guy came in mid-September and helped them advance to state. My sources tell me that new visual designer took over their guard program this year—which has been a rough spot in the band program for the last few years. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a strong showing this year.
