Oh nice this one’s gonna be fun!

[Tubalord11]

Curious about Lovejoy. They originally had Golden Triangle for this day but now it’s the Celina comp, might just have their name down. Either way an amazing lineup once again! 

[Bbowman615]

I’m going with Keller on this one for now

[SharksAreCool]

I’m really curious about Burleson Centennial since they also have BOA Prosper marked down. Are they just assuming they’re not making finals at one but definitely at the other?

We obviously don’t have the full list yet but I’d definitely say they’ve got a shot at landing in the 12th-9th ish range, but this contest has proven to be considerably hard to get into finals but assuming no major fall off they will def make finals at Birdville

Really depends on how their show is built in relation to BOA scoring and UIL scoring

Early season predictions

1. Keller

2. Sachse

3. Duncanville

4. Lake Belton

5. Lake Ridge

6. Colleyville Heritage

7. The Colony

8. Byron Nelson

9. Grapevine

10. Chisholm Trail

Yeah its really hard predicting this area due to how many quality bands that are here. I'd say the top 6 are locks and 7-10 could be in the bubble with bands such as Lovejoy, North Mesquite, or Midway also sneaking in.

[Tubalord11]

I believe Lovejoy is gonna be at Celina this day, that’s at least what they have on their calendar rn

Great lineup! Lovejoy still has Celina on their calendar so I’m guessing their still deciding what comp their gonna do but this will be a great one again! Cool to see Lake Belton making the trip!

we're similar thinking 😅, i'll be attending Don Hanna this year to watch my band perform (The Colony WOOP!!) so we'll see how they matchup against NM, historically we've beaten them and they go on to make state in area C but we'll see how things shake up this year 👀

[BugWub24]

Hasn't been mentioned on here yet, but Brewer dropped this contest for the Springtown contest.

Very hot take, but I kinda like it. I’m pretty sure Keller will take this comp but you know what, maybe.

I mean yeah it could, but I’d give it a 25% chance at best, probably closer to like 10%, but Sachse it starting off strong
