Pretty solid list. I will say I do think North Mesquite could be a lot better this year tan most people think. Here’s mine

 

 

1. Keller

2. Sachse

3. Duncanville

4. Ch

5. Lake Ridge

6. Lake Belton

7. NM

8. Colony

9. Byron Nelson

10. Grapevine/Chrimson Trail

Can someone help describe the top 6 for this prediction? Like how is Ch, Lake ridge, and Lake Belton? Since I know a good amount about the top 3.

Lake ridge is an Area B school that has maintained finals in that area over the last four or five years I think? I found a small TikTok of their show from their first ever performance if you just check out my profile.

Oooo interesting, I just watched the vid and they are decent for a first ever performance. Hopefully there is a more recent one though because I wanna see how their brass is doing.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Lake Belton making the trip? Where do you think they’ll end up

I think it's great, and assuming they're super strong should be in the middle of the back so maybe 4th-7th-ish?

Timberview is now performing first here; they will be traveling to the Springtown contest afterwards.

I see them easily making finals, possibly beating Colleyville as well, they beat Colleyville in 5a state prelims by one spot. Very exciting young program considering they only existed for 4-5 years I believe.

I don’t think Colleyville will be that high after how they did at McKinney

I think something must’ve happened to Colleyville after McKinney, since It’s really surprising they’d place so low unless something happened.

I have heard that they aren’t as strong this year so that could’ve been which is probably the case unfortunately because they don’t have timing penalties or anything at McKinney 

[Bbowman615]

For a second I was confused when it said coppell is going and why nobody put them #1 or #2 until I noticed it was JV🤣

I saw lake ridge at preview of champions, good stuff, but not top 6. Great guard but their sound is extremely monotone, it all sounds the same this year. But they are good.

I put Colleyville a bit lower on my official prediction (didn’t even catch their result at MMI before lol), so D’ville is 5th for me now

Man is D-ville having a hard year or something or what? That's crazy low I feel like.

They've just been on a general decline recently

They placed below V.R. Eaton and Byron Nelson at USBands this past weekend, and Tyler Legacy was 0.2 points behind them.

They are still very good, that hasn’t changed, but it looks like other bands are having really good years as well.

[5abands]

Colleyville will need some major improvements from the McKinney result to even be able to sneak into finals here. Lake Belton are the favorites for 5a by a mile and grapevine and colony should make finals.

From the scoring it looks like their show just took a massive drop and possibly had a really bad run to add onto it, almost every category was 20th place...
