Friendswood has been having a textbook Friendswood season after seeing them 3 times this season i have no doubt they'll pull off the 6 peat. I havent seen much on College Station but I know they'll definitely be in the top 3. I saw A&M Consalidated at BOA Conroe and was pleasantly surprised with the show it looks like they're continuing to build on their post covid momentum. I havent seen Barbers Hill live but I have seen videos of them from their performances at the Channelview ISD marching contest and I like the direction they've been moving in since the director change after 2021 and have faith that they'll remain in the top 5. I FULLY BELIEVE that Brenham can pull through and clench the 5th state spot and break their decade long streak of not making state this year, I did see a video of their show this year and definitely think its possible. The 6th state spot is honestly gonna be a 3 way bloodbath between La Porte, Angleton, and Kempner, La Porte has been having their best season since 2022, as a La Porte alum and have seen the show develope I think its possible that La Porte can break the 35 year drought this year, they got 2nd at their first contest at US Bands Webster and were only 2 points behind the champions Clear Lake, aswell as beating other bands that they compete against in area like Kempner, Porter and Randle. They also won their 2nd contest at US Bands Spring and once again beat Porter and took every caption but one. If La Porte can keep their momentum going they genuinely have a shot to jump from 12th to 6th. Ive seen Kempner perform once at a football game and I do think that their show last year was better than this year but Kempner is a late bloomer so im still keeping them in contention for the 6th spot. Angleton has been mystifying this year just like last year they havent made finals at a single competition just like last year but they magically shot up at area and made state for the first time in 2 decades i did get a chance to see them at BOA Alvin but I wasn't able to get a proper read on them since their show wasn't finished and they were using their props so Im leaving them with La Porte and Kempner to fight it out for 6th place. Porter unfortunately has been having a rough year with them loosing a good chunk or their band to graduation and less students coming with New Caney ISD opening West Fork recently, Porter is by no means out of area finals but they're out of state contention in my eyes in 9th place. Ive seen numerous videos of Randle and they've gotten better this year, with the school being only a few years old I think this will be their best year so far I do think they can maybe jump Porter for 9th place but I don't have a proper read on Porter to say it confidently. 11th place i have Galena Park the band has been on an upward trend and they're continuing to develope and build on their momentum. 12th genuinely is a tossup this year between 5 different bands that all have solid chances to make it these bands are Port Neches-Groves- decent show from what I've seen online Baytown Sterling - they were one off from finals last year really rooting for them to make it this year Spring Woods made finals last year but from what I've seen i think the other bands on this list have more advanced shows than Spring Woods this year I think they can make it but I they'll have to fight for it Pasadena - 2nd out from finals last year and they have a pretty good show from what I've seen so far I think it might be the year they can make finals West Fork - they sound insane for being so young, I saw them at Lone Star Preview and think they're really coming up this year and can give some of these bottom 4 bands real trouble This is my updated prediction after my dissertation lol Friendswood College Station Barbers Hill A&M Brenham La Porte/Kempner/Angleton Kempner /Angleton/La Porte Angleton/ La Porte/Kempner Porter Randle Galena Park Baytown Sterling Could also make it West Fork Pasadena Port Neches-Groves Spring Woods

Bridgeland (Visual/GE) Dawson (Music) College Park North Shore Tomball Memorial Clear Brook Grand Oaks Klein Oak Oak Ridge Klein Collins Klein Cain Klein/Brazoswood/Cy-Falls

This area is going to be SHAKEN UP this year TW North Shore College Park Tomball Memorial Grand Oaks/ Klein Oak Klein Oak/Grand Oaks Klein Cain Klein NEW CANEY, YES NEW CANEY Oak Ridge or Klein Collins

Now that I've seen almost all of the predicted finalist bands for the area i can half confidently say that this is what finals should look like Friendswood College Station A&M Brenham Barbers Hill Angleton Kempner La Porte Porter Galena Park Randle Port Neches-Groves or Baytown Sterling

This is my finals prediction after seeing some of the products on the field so far Bridgeland College Park/ North Shore North Shore/College Park Cy-Woods Cinco Ranch Cy-Fair Friendswood Clear Brook Dickinson Fulshear Shadow Creek JET

This is my finals predictions based on everything ive seen so far Pearland CTJ 7L Cy-Woods Klein Oak Cy-Fair Dawson Friendswood Dickinson Clear Brook Stephen F. Austin Clear Lake

The Woodlands have confirmed that they aren't competing in finals also because of homecoming the same for Tomball Memorial and Klein Oak

1st The Woodlands 2nd Bridgeland 3rd North Shore 4th Cy-Woods 5th Cy-Fair 6th Cinco Ranch 7th Tomball Memorial 8th Clear Brook 9th Friendswood 10th Oak Ridge 11th Dickinson 12th Klein Cain First out Shadow Creek James E. Taylor Cy Ranch A&M Consolidated Spring

I have strong opinions about that ...

Yep I'm pretty sure this one is one of the largest in the state. Spanning from College Station to Galveston and from Brenham to the Beaumont area. 😵‍💫

This is possible but a lot of the bottom 6 bands are really brining it this year, I'm also running off who made finals at last year's regional and off what I've seen and heard so far. 1st. Pearland 2nd. Cy-Fair 3rd. CTJ/7L 4th. 7L/CTJ 5th. Cy-Woods 6th. Dawson/SFA 7th. SFA/ Dawson 8th. Clear Brook 9th. Friendswood 10th. Dickinson 11th. Foster 12th. Klein Oak/Clear Lake 13th Clear Lake/Klein Oak 14th Tompkins 15th Klein cain 16th Shadow Creek

If I had to drop a prediction now it'd likely be Friendswood College Station Angleton/A&M Consalidated A&M Consalidated/Angleton Barbers Hill Brenham Kempner Porter La Porte Galena Park Randle Spring Woods/ Port Neches-Groves/ Baytown Sterling or Pasadena

Um why is one talking about one of the biggest areas in the state ...

Please someone send prelims! I need to know how La Porte- Neches-Groves Ridge Park Creek United Memorial did in prelims

It's sad that the Marching Sights And Sounds Of Endermen County had to drop out due to the high rain chances they would've swept 4A 🥲

The Villager New Tech band will not be attending Boa Sheldon next year

A tornado from Hurricane Michelin came down on the field during my sons solo and he was flung 50ft and now I'm suing boa shelldin

Outrageous that Villager Tech didn't make finals especially after that beautiful Pig State tribute in the ballad, disgraceful!
