Yeah it’s a lot! UIL has post on their instagram about who’s moved up and down to and from each class if that helps!

Hays, Lake Belton and Barber Hills are now 6A

Ngl, I think that if Kaufman is as strong as they were these last two years, I could see them 1st or top 3 here.

I wanna say they did in a couple times in the late 2010s but yeah, this is gonna be cool to see

Vandy is confirmed per their calendar

OHHHH is this real? holy cow it is. Grand Oaks is also confirmed

I’ll take a crack at preds based off enrollment per the website: 1. Hebron (all but Perc) 2. Lone Star 3. Prosper 4. Lebanon Trail/Argyle 5. Argyle/LT 6. Wylie East 7. Braswell 8. Rock Hill 9. Forney 10. Burleson Centennial (Perc) 11. McKinney North 12. The Colony/Another Frisco school/North Forney So I’m only really confident on my top half. Bottom half could be so different, lots of band could be higher or lower but this is my best guess of now. Also left McKinney out since I’m 99% sure they are going to Bedford now.

So the main scoring difference is the impact of GE. It’s 20% music (10% individual, 10 ensemble), 20% visual (same individual and ensemble split). And 60% GE (2 20% music and 1 20% visual). IMO, they are the most fun and strongest overall comps around the nation. They do tend to last longer bc there’s normally more bands and they each have 15 minutes (some early ones are like 10?) but that’s really the main differences. Definitely worth going to then if you can!!

Unfortunately not There’s not really a different date they can do it unless it wouldn’t be at McLane which is the most ideal stadium for the comp, but it still gonna be super strong

James Bowie, Hutton, Taft & Winston Churchill are confirmed per Hornrank

Yeah I’m really hyped for this one. I’m just hoping Hebron actually comes here but they’re on the MMI participation list on the website

This and probably bc I’d imagine the lineup isn’t going to be as strong which is why they’re option for prosper, or they just want to defend their title 😂

I was thinking about it but it’s not a close drive, and I like staying for the award ceremony’s and I’ll probably be seeing most bands at Bedford at some point anyways, but definitely an option!

Yay we back!!!

So this comp has an insane lineup already!! Will definitely be at this one now that Boa Bedford is a week earlier. Here's all the confirmed bands: North Forney JJ Pearce Byron Nelson Wylie Rock Hill Argyle Royce City Celina Lovejoy (has Don Hanna on their Calander for this weekend) Little Elm Berkner Wylie East Hebron (YES!!!!!) Plano Senior Plano East Plano West Lebanon Trail Panther Creek Independence Reedy Emerson Heritage Rockwall-Heath Rockwall Highland Park Easily the strongest lineup this comp has ever had. Have only been here for last year's finals which was great so I'm excited to be here hopefully for a full day!!!

Yeah, I might be going to Melissa now if I'm free this weekend, scared my college's alumni band day will be this weekend but you should 100% come to prosper if you can, can already promise you I will already be there

Okay so this is already my most anticipated comp of the season! Bentonville, Hebron, probably Marcus, like Cmon!! This has easily become my favorite one to attend and I have a feeling this one will be the strongest and probably one of if not the best DFW BOA comp ever. If you can be here, be here!! I promise you won't' want to miss it!

So happy they are doing this for the smaller schools!! Will be a very strong Comp!

I think Mckinney is going to Bedford now since they are making the trip to Grand Nats but if Alumni Band for my College doesn't conflict with this comp I will 100% be here, though I'm guessing it's going to be on this day Still an insane lineup!!!

Seeing Seven Lakes makes me sooooo happy! If they have another year like these last two, definitely a finalist imo!

Y’all are amazing! I think my favorite show they’ve done at least since Covid was 2023 but I loved the Odyssey. My mom went to area finals with me and yall had her favorite show. Overall just a lot more consistency but Prospers been a big name for a good while now. You should be super proud of y’all’s season and I can’t wait to see what yall cook up for next year!

I'd be shocked if SV doesn't make it back assuming they maintain their momentum. They've made it quite a bit recently and have been pretty consistent

I’m not trying to start a war, but I highly recommend checking out Funliner Productions newest video of you haven’t. Every voice matters in this situation, and the fact that Tim Snyder and Box5 is trying to take every penny to allow content creators seconds of clips is not what this activity needs. Do not stay silent, they must hear you.

Yeah, maybe pretty good is better, but I was impressed with some of the bottom half bands here. I remember seeing Allen and PW, they were pretty dang good.
