It is not a "tarnish" to say "had a band participated they would have a good chance at winning." Support all bands regardless, they are all phenomenal. Chill.

Here are my predictions based on performance results: 1. Broken Arrow, OK (V/GE) 2. Carmel, IN(M) 3. Flower Mound, TX 4. Avon, IN 5. Claudia Taylor Johnson, TX 6. The Woodlands, TX 7. Ronald Reagan, TX 8. Marcus, TX 9. Blue Springs, MO 10. Wando, SC 11. William Mason, OH 12. Dobyns-Bennett, TN ** it's very likely to see a tie for that last spot into finals. D-B, Round Rock, Vista Ridge, Homestead, and Marion Catholic are all very good this year. But this is how I have ranked the top 12 by performance. I wish Hebron would have come... they very likely could have won IMO. I love all of these performances this year.. but it is VERY tough to depict.

Dobyns-Bennett has never beaten Wando, Wando has also beaten vista ridge, william mason, CTJ, Castle, D-B.. and pretty much ties with Ronald Reagan and Tarpon Springs consistently. They will definitely be in there somewhere around 7th. D-B, Marion Catholic, Round Rock, and Homestead are going to fight for that 12th place spot.
