Brahms Symphony No.3

Might as well throw mine in the mix 1. Bridgeland 2. 7 Lakes 3. Cy Woods 4. Cy Fair 5. Jordan 6. Cinco Ranch 7. Langham Creek 8. Tompkins 9. JET 10. Cy Park

It's know it's very very early but does anybody have any thoughts they would like to share on what next year is going to look like for this area and the bands that make it?

2025 was an amazing year for this area and I think everybody is very excited to see what happens in 2026, bridgeland potentially being dethroned? Can Cinco keep their state spot? Will Jordan sneak in after an amazing year with a not so amazing final result? If we see as much growth in this area as we saw in 2025 I think we're in for a real treat over the next few years

Okay this is a stupid observation but am I dumb or on like the top where it says what all the captions are, percussion is misspelled as percusion

I think some attention needs to be given to Cy-Park, they didn't really get as much hype this year as they did last year yet they jumped up what, like 8 spots? if anybody here has read the biography of their head director they should know that their band is capable of some crazy things, if they can get in a flow of getting better every year. They got 11th and that was with their percussion scoring far worse than any other competition that they've been to this year. Cy park may have had some difficulties building up at first but if they can build on the momentum that they created this year I would not be incredibly surprised to see another bridgeland type level of growth

Bridgeland: 25' - 1st 24' - 1st 23' - 1st Cy Woods: 25' - 3rd 24' - 2nd 23' - 4th Cy Fair: 25' - 5th 24' - 3rd 23' - 2nd Jordan: 25' - 6th 24' - 7th 23' - 6th Cinco Ranch: 25' - 4th 24' - 5th 23' - 8th Cy Ranch: 25' - 15th 24' - 11th 23' - 10th Langham Creek: 25' - 9th 24' - 9th 23' - 11th Katy: 25' - 10th 24' - 10th 23' - 9th Tompkins: 25' - 7th 24' - 8th 23' - 3rd JET: 25' - 8th 24' - 6th 23' - 7th 7 lakes: 25' - 2nd 24' - 4th 23' - 5th Totals: Bridgeland: 3 Cy Woods: 9 Cy Fair: 10 7 Lakes: 11 Cinco Ranch: 17 Tompkins: 18 Jordan: 19 JET: 21 Langham Creek: 29 Katy: 29 Cy Ranch: 36 Here's the added results of some of the area bands over the past 3 years so we can see how rankings have fluctuated

My final predictions in bubble form 1-3: Bridgeland 7 Lakes Jordan 4-5: Cy fair Cy woods 6: Cinco 7-11: Cy Ranch JET Tompkins Katy Langham Creek

Here are my ranges 1. Bridgeland (1-3) Zero decline has been shown from Bridgeland but I feel like their show isn't nearly as intense as the past 2 years but still probably safe to say they'll be the area champion 2. 7 Lakes (1-3) Incredible show, definitely wouldn't be surprised if they make state finals again this year, could see them taking over as kings of this area 3. Jordan (1-4) There is a world where I can see them winning this area especially with the statement they made at KMF it's been a big year from them and I don't think state finals is impossible if they make it there 4. Cy-Woods (3-5) Definitely don't see them falling out of making state this year definitely very different than their cat show last year and I think this show will do very well in a UIL setting 5. Cy-Fair (3-6) Relatively similar situation to Cy-Woods I really don't see any of these 5 schools not making state this year unless there's only 4 state spots 6. Cinco Ranch (5-6) Definitely a very big year for Cinco, they proved lemons wasn't just a one off success and that they are continuing to grow year after year, state is a very real possibility especially if there's 6 state spots 7. Tompkins (7-10) BIG fan of this show, I love the pink and think they could definitely do very well at area with their unique design. However I do think that there is a considerable gap between the top 6 schools and everyone else in this area. 8. JET (7-10) I haven't seen their show this year but from what I've heard there definitely has NOT been a decline I think they fit very well in this bubble 9. Cy-Ranch (7-11) They took incredible strides this year and I think perhaps found their niche with the whole jazz thing, very cool visually show and the results at KMF were proof of their growth 10. Langham Creek (7-11) Have a very cool show and definitely have the ability to reach the top of this bubble, they just need to put in the work to do so. 11. Katy (8-11) I could see them placing anywhere in this bubble especially with their cool drill, it's just hard to rank all these bands with all the growth we've had this year! All of these rankings are probably completely wrong, don't take any of what I say seriously! I have no idea what I'm talking about just thought it would be fun to do this.

1. 7 Lakes 2. Bridgeland 3. Jordan 4. Cy Fair 5. Cy Woods 6. Cinco Ranch 7. JET 8. Tompkins 9. Langham Creek 10. Cy Ranch 11. Katy

I think it's because Bridgeland music book isn't super hard this year

Here are my probably final predictions 7 lakes Jordan Langham JET Cinco Ranch Tompkins Katy Cy Ranch Jersey Village Brenham

I might even say any of the top 5

I would say Cinco is too low, jersey is too high, and Cy Ranch is def too low

here's just how close 2 - 5 was according to overall score Just about 2 points separating 2nd and 5th place, and nearly 7 points in between 1st and 2nd and 5th and 6th 1. Bridgeland 88.450 2. Katy 81.800 3. Tomball 81.450 4. Grand Oaks 79.850 5. Langham Creek 79.125 6. 72.625

here are my rankings day before comp based on what I've seen and heard with ranges 1. Bridgeland (1) 2. Langham Creek (2 - 5) 3. Klein (2 - 5) 4. Grand oaks (2 - 5) 5. Katy (3 - 6) 6. paetow (5 - 7) 7. Jersey village (6 - 9) 8. Cypress Springs (6 - 9) 9. Kempner (8 - 11) 10. Tomball (8 - 12)
