I agree with most of your predictions, however, I don't think Garland will be in the top 10. Instead, I'd replace them with either Lakeview Centennial or possibly Pearce. Here is how I see the order being: Duncanville Coppell Berkner Rowlett N. Mesquite Lake Highlands Midlothian Naaman Forest Sachse JJ Pearce Sachse is down quite a bit from previous years. JJ Pearce is jumpin into the 5A waters again and the last time they were 5A, they struggled to make 1st divisions.

For Area C, I see Duncanville, Coppell, Berkner, and N. Mesquite as the top 4. I've seen Rowlett and Sachse and feel they will not be ahead of N. Mesquite. As for other finalists, I predict this as the order: 1 Duncanville 2 Coppell 3 Berkner 4 N Mesquite 5 Rowlett 6 Lake Highlands 7 Midlothian 8 Naaman Forest 9 Mesquite 10 Sachse

With that theory in mind, I guess the Cowboys can say they are 4-0 this season instead of 2-2. : )

i was there, and quite frankly, i couldn't understand the prelims scores. in my opinion, there is no way that duncanville should have been anything but 1st in both prelims and finals. mckinney did derserve 2nd. poteet deserved the placement that they received as well. there show was lacking in the execution that they are normally known for. they had many marching issues with alignment, etc. maybe they'll get it together prior to area and state. if not, i think they'll be sitting home watching others go to san antonio.

Here is what I think for whatever it's worth! Duncanville Wylie Poteet McKinney Boyd McKinney Garland Allen Naaman Forest Lakeview Bowie By the way, I'm usually pretty close!

any thoughts about who the 10 finalists will be? here is the list of bands: Leonard HS 2A A 10:15 AM 10:30 AM 11:00 AM 11:15 AM Melissa HS 2A B 10:30 AM 10:45 AM 11:15 AM 11:30 AM Whiteright HS 2A A 10:45 AM 11:00 AM 11:30 AM 11:45 AM Pottsboro HS 2A B 11:00 AM 11:15 AM 11:45 AM 12:00 PM Tom Bean 2A A 11:15 AM 11:30 AM 12:00 PM 12:15 PM Mineola HS 2A B 11:30 AM 11:45 AM 12:15 PM 12:30 PM BREAK 11:45 AM 12:00 PM 12:30 PM 12:45 PM BREAK 12:00 PM 12:15 PM 12:45 PM 1:00 PM BREAK 12:15 PM 12:30 PM 1:00 PM 1:15 PM BREAK 12:30 PM 12:45 PM 1:15 PM 1:30 PM Prosper HS 3A B 12:45 PM 1:00 PM 1:30 PM 1:45 PM Denison HS 4A A 1:00 PM 1:15 PM 1:45 PM 2:00 PM Wylie HS 4A B 1:15 PM 1:30 PM 2:00 PM 2:15 PM Lakeview Centennial 5A A 1:30 PM 1:45 PM 2:15 PM 2:30 PM James Bowie HS 5A B 1:45 PM 2:00 PM 2:30 PM 2:45 PM Garland HS 5A A 2:00 PM 2:15 PM 2:45 PM 3:00 PM BREAK 2:15 PM 2:30 PM 3:00 PM 3:15 PM McKinney HS 4A B 2:30 PM 2:45 PM 3:15 PM 3:30 PM Allen HS 5A A 2:45 PM 3:00 PM 3:30 PM 3:45 PM Duncanville HS 5A B 3:00 PM 3:15 PM 3:45 PM 4:00 PM McKinney Boyd HS 5A A 3:15 PM 3:30 PM 4:00 PM 4:15 PM Naaman Forest HS 5A B 3:30 PM 3:45 PM 4:15 PM 4:30 PM Poteet HS 4A A 3:45 PM 4:00 PM 4:30 PM 4:45 PM

i think the finals will be: coppell, duncanville, berkner, rowlett in that order. then lake highlands, sachse, north mesquite. then the final 3 spots will go to either naaman forest, midlothian, lakeview, garland, or robert e. lee

Will the Region 21 bands attend? If not, there will not be 20. Does it take 20 or 21 to have 10 bands compete in finals?

"Garland ISD schools(and only like 2 make it, Sachse, and Rowlett)" I disagree. Beside Sachse and Rowlett, you can ALWAYS count on Garland Naaman Forest making a 1 at UIL, and I would think that Garland HS and Lakeview would be there as well. I think all the Garland schools except North and South Garland will be at the Area round. Don't discount what you do not know as fact.
