Their brass is definitely way better than last year as well the the woodwinds the percussion is about the same. Yes they are stronger this year and could do some damage in finals.
They got 6th place at boa South Houston winning in individual music for finals and only .2 off from winning the music caption.I think this year they can do big things.
Thoughts on Friendswood ? I think Friendswood can possibly get top 8 at this comp, their content and design is better than most of the other bands that are coming to this comp. There music and brass are so good and their uniforms are very unique and really stand out compared to other bands going.
