Im really cool

Still have ptsd from the ramps that lead into the stadium back when I was there in 2023, I remember we got stuck down on the end zone for finals retreat, and barely got up to the stands for prelims retreat that year because of how far the walk up is with props

Richardson’s game this week got moved to Thursday, guessing they’ll do a rehearsal Friday evening in replacement no clue though, my guess is the other RISD schools had theirs moved too

As for the group IV day I see birdville most likely sweeping every caption, though I don’t know too much about 5A, they placed decent at duncanville as well

Richardson won this in 2023 for group V I wonder how they’ll fare against Byron Nelson who are the reigning champs of open class, since Richardson didn’t compete here last year. Martin beat Richardson by 1 point at duncanville, though from what I know Richardson seems to have more US bands oriented shows than most in the area, favoring GE and Colorguard. As for world class I obviously see flomo winning, though maybe Hebron pulls through since it’s a different scoring system than BOA. I wish 7L was coming still, I’ve heard they’ve become quite the powerhouse as of recent too.

Oh and burdville is 100% higher imo since they’re crazy in 5A state usually

Meridian might be tiny but I could see them in 9th over SGP from what I remember at Waco last year they’re pretty strong for a small band

Tuff

Also I would note Richardson hasn’t had any performances other than their premiere and when they performed for Pearce (since they hadn’t gotten to perform at their first game) since their games have been both rained out and delayed and they couldn’t fit the show in half-time, I’m feeling for these seniors right now ngl so I really have no clue where they place in top five but I’d guess below Wylie east and panther creek probably Heres my questionable prediction 1: East 2/3: panther creek/emerson 4/5: Richardson/heritage 6: west past that I’ll just go with tubalord he’s been right most of the time

Richardson should be at PEMI that’s what their directors have been saying and it’s on their main/leadership calendars too. (although we are still on for USBands Saginaw according to the USBands website I think that’s just an error though)
