Attention everyone Phantom has now passed Carolina Crown. And Blue Devils has gotten passed by Boston Crusaders!

I too have them winning in my predictions (For now before I change them up) 1. Argyle 2. W.E. Boswell 3. William J. Brennan 4. Byron P. Steele 5. Richardson 6. Mount Pleasant 7. Harker Heights 8. Samuel V. Champion 9. Guyer 10. Parkway/Paschal

There is a big rivalry between the 3 best bands in Southeast Texas which are Lumberton, Bridge City, & Little Cypress-Mauriceville. L-Town & LCM has always had a thing between the two groups but that sort of ended when Lumberton moved up to 5A in 2014. That's when Bridge City & LCM started their rivalry and then by 2018 when Lumberton dropped back down to 4A, it escalated from there. You could say that since LCM has not made state since 2018, that the rivalry could be the other two bands, but I'd still throw LCM in there for being consistent and right there behind L-Town & BC. I don't really see this ever changing unless a group moves up/down and doesnt come back to that class for some time.

Interesting predictions. While I do think Sunnyvale could make Finals, I don't think they will make state, but could in the future. I think Farmersville is a dark horse to advance. I still think Paris and Lumberton advances. I also predict that 8 bands will advance out of 12 Finalists.

Gotcha lol

Did you say Garden uniforms?? For their Carmen Show? lol I am very intrigued now!

I am too really excited. With Area C getting to be extremely competitive now, I'm just hoping Lumberton tightens up on the visual front as numerous times in the past, its been the visual department that kills Lumberton. I can not wait for the fall!! 😁

That's neat! When they last competed in 2021, they placed 18th/26. Hoping this year they move up, and with the epic show reveal, I think they absolutely could. Was there any other Competitions listed in that band calendar other than UIL?

My mind read this as the list for Grand Nationals 😂 I was like "Wow that is a complete different list but aight lets go!"

Finally able to post Bridge City's Show Poster. No clue on Rep music but may find out later.

Coppell because of their pretty consistent achievements and then Cy-Fair because of their recent success. Their "Caging the Swarm" show last year gave me Grand National Finals vibes in my opinion.

Argyle HS Bridgeland HS Cedar Park HS Friendswood HS Leander HS Prosper HS So far these 6 are confirmed. I doubt anymore Texas bands will go as they should've announced it by now but we never know.

What year did Legacy go?
