What’s up band nerds, it’s been a few months. Langham is very unlikely to make state this year. It’s a slow process to climb to the top. While they get better, other rising bands must get worse, or at least worse than LCHS. Won’t happen overnight. Bridgeland is losing Mr Willie, their visual director. I can’t overstate his contribution to the program. In Grand Nats prelims last year Bridgeland placed ahead of Avon and Broken Arrow (iirc), in large part thanks to his contributions. A tough hole to fill. Will be a fun year.

I disagree. Outside the top 5-6 bands, nobody has a chance of being crowned champion. Why even show up? Why isn't state just the top 5 bands? Why bother ranking the rest? It's because those bands outside the top 5 are jockeying to be better than the other bands in their peer group and are wanting to maybe move up to the next peer group. My kid's school, Bridgeland, had zero realistic aspirations of being crowned champion. But could they maybe have beat Pearland like they did at BOA Webster (prelims)? Maybe Ronald Reagan? Those were possibilities, and they matter to bands outside the top 5.
