I think its going to come down to visuals, musically I could see them trading blows but Sachse has SO MUCH drill. Boyd definitely is operating on a different level from last year, but I think Sachse is a level beyond that, but regardless all that means for us is a better competition, which I doubt anyone is complaining about haha

I think most of their drill and visuals came from Mr.Nguyen(assistant director) which matches his resume and experience of being a drill writer and he used to work at Marcus Hs so that probably helps

Reedy might take this one trust. Last year they lost to sachse by less than a point. They got so much better under their new head director and wouldn't be surprised if they might surprise this year.

I don’t think you go to Emerson I think you go to reedy… all of your posts have been about reedy and your account is new.

I think regardless of what school hes from its no biggie, even if hes lying🤷‍♂️. Once the competitions start rolling we will see how these competitions play out and we will find out how much of the talk is accurate. As long as he isnt talking down on other bands I dont mind someone with a more bold prediction, even if I personally dont agree with what he is saying will happen. Its his opinion after all and its not the dumbest thing to hit this forum haha

Boyd might sneak up on some musical moments but sachses drill and visuals blows Boyd out of the park so yeah I’ll take Sachse for this one

This is becoming truer by the day, Boyd I think has a possibility of taking music but otherwise this should be a clear win for Sachse otherwise

Schedule has been added to the initial post!

I'm curious about Richardson being on this schedule - they are on both the PEMI and WMI schedules, but PEMI is what's on their calendar.

Distance between contest would make doing both possible!

That would be awesome (only 10 minutes apart), but unfortunately there's too many moving pieces. They are slated to perform at PEMI at 2:00, and 3:00 at Wylie.

I’m going based off his bio on sachse’s website and says he currently serves as a marching band clinician, drill writer, choreographer, and program coordinator for many programs throughout the State of Texas.

I mean, I've seen it, but while it is better than Naaman's past shows, I don't know about the goated part... definitely in that 5a area c bubble... just not in my top 7 for this
