A lot of bands can make a case for a finals spot. The range from 8 to 15 has many strong bands that can make it interesting. Those last final spots will be a dogfight.
My Predictions so far this season
1. Pearland
2. Dickinson
3. Dawson
4. SFA
5. Clear Brook
6. Foster
7. Clear Falls
8. Fulshear
9. Pasadena Memorial
10. Clear Lake
Hopefully, other bands can clean their shows a LOT to make Area more interesting!!
I don't see Clements that high so far, given their season. I think SFA, Clear Brook, Clear Lake, and Clear Falls can all finish above Clements. But you never know; anything can change.
