glad to say that many updates have been made to the spreadsheet so far! Plenty of contest's that I still need information for, but its overall coming out well. I have found many websites that have been helpful, including Horn Rank, OBA, USBands, Bands of America, Virginia Marching Band Cooperative, midwest marching, etc..!

Personally, I would say Deer Park and Shadow Creek will be a surprise this year.

Princeton HS is confirmed for this contest. So is Argyle HS (On their calanders)

not confirmed, but Celina HS could possibly be at this contest

Just realized I had this in the wrong place. This spreadsheet is similar to what someone else did last year and I really liked it so I wanted to bring it back for the 2023 season, but with contest's added from other states as well! I am still working on adding contests- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h2FIrEBGa0UzGbTFQZdEA8AbFKlafZQhGsjNCswKF3c/edit#gid=1137039197 If you would like to be an editor, please DM me

I'm surprised that there is no talk about this contest

Hey everyone, I found another marching contest being held October 7th by Teague ISD! It has a very stacked judges panel and all!

WHAT?!?

I think that was with Area B because of the timing of the contest, but I hope they stay with McKinney ISD Stadium because that one is really good!

why?

That's how I see it. Hoping Robinson can make it back! Been wanting to see their return, just like I want to see H.M. King return from Area E

this looks like a really good lineup! Even without some of the heavy hitters like Vandegrift, Cedar Park, Rouse, Leander, etc...

I wanted to create this topic so anyone that is attending this contest can talk about it!

Can't wait to see how McKinney High does here!

I could really see someone new getting in, such as Cinco Ranch. This contest is going to be great!!!

also, as of right now, it says Melissa High School could be attending because it shows they have it on their calendar.

Hoping I can attend this contest again! With the addition of Mansfield, this should be really good! Hoping Burleson Centennial and Colleyville Heritage make a return again.

New Contest Alert! Melissa High School will be hosting their first annual Marching Contest on September 23rd of the 2023 season!

Once again 2023 will see Area C in Conference 6A compete for the chance to advance to the State marching contest! Can't wait to attend this contest!

Well then, looks like we are seeing the return of 4A once again to the State Contest next year! This will make it 4 in a row and will continue on this way for every year. Last years results recieved a lot of backlash, but I am confident that 2023 will see some great competition! I'm hoping to see Celina return to the state contest this year after winning their first state championship in band! Anna and Canton seem to be the top 2 that could possibly take the title this upcoming season, but I will still love to see someone new take the title. We still have plenty of time before the season begins, but I would love to hear some of your thoughts on who you think could have a chance to make state, and possibly finals in the 2023 season. 2023 4A State Advancers- Area A- West Plains HS, Canyon HS, Canyon Randall HS, Pecos HS Area B- Celina HS, Anna HS, Panther Creek HS, Canton HS Area C- North Lamar HS, Sulphur Springs HS, Paris HS, Lumberton HS, Bridge City HS Area D- China Spring HS, Alvarado HS, Gatesville HS, Burnet HS, Castleberry HS, Robinson HS (Super Excited for them!)

it will most likely be at the Alamodome. They did this in 2021 as well when they were getting information finalized.

:(. I hope ya'll decide to go! But I'm hoping that having the State contest next year doesn't keep ya'll from going.

I'm sad about it to :(. My favorite group in DCI. Can't wait to see what they come back with when they return!

Here is the topic for the next DCI Season. First thing to note is that Santa Clara Vanguard has announced they will not be competing in the 2023 season.
