1. Vandegrift 2. Leander 3. CTJ (Honestly, these three could be in any order and I wouldn't be surprised haha) 4. Cedar Park 5. Round Rock 6. Cedar Ridge 7. Hendrickson 8. Bowie 9. Churchill 10. Westwood/Vista Ridge I could be totally and completely wrong but it's fun to try and predict! The crazy thing about marching band is how unpredictable some of these first contests can be. I mean heck, Cedar Ridge went from not making finals at State and San Antonio in 2016 to beating some of the bands that had made it the year before, and Hendrickson got 7th last year but ended up jumping up like crazy in San Antonio finals! It's all just so fun to see.

Uh, I definitely think Cedar Ridge is gonna be somewhere in there.

I doubt Music for All "coincidentally" deciding to host a contest an hour and a half away on the same day helped with attendance.

I know for a fact that Cedar Ridge's band won't be at the game, and I wouldn't be surprised if Cedar Park was doing the same. That combined with the weather not looking much better is probably gonna keep me from making the trip out haha

Haha, it put an end to the Cedar Ridge vs Cedar Park game too. Which sucks cause I was looking forward to it!

If you can make it out, I recommend going to their game next week! I've heard they'll be doing a run with uniforms and props! And you'll also get to see another phenomenal band in Vandegrift! I'm definitely gonna be trying to make it there.

Huh, kinda disappointed with the lack of Maroon. It was my favorite part of the old one haha

Also, if you enjoyed the blending of concert and more popular radio-style music, you're in for a good surprise. It really *rocks*.

As an alumni, I can confirm that the show very much leans on the production aspect, in the best way possible. Lots of character work and different emotions being conveyed. And also some cool recognizable tunes in the show that people are really gonna jam to. The show is one of the coolest I've seen the band put out so far, (I mean heck, it's got me jealous) and the kids have the potential to do great things with it.

Contact by Daft Punk and Outro by M83 are my two dream songs to hear in a marching production. They'd fit right in with my dream show about space exploration haha
