I once saw a very old YouTube video from a LONGGGGG time ago that showcased a band warming up for finals for battle at the berry. I just wished they brought it back 😞

I think it’s mainly because of the football schedule, since there’s a game on the same day as this contest at the same stadium.

Top three’s gonna be a tough call this year. Third place is a toss-up between Katy and Langham, but  watching Jersey Village’s production this season is shaking some things up!

Can you elaborate on what you've seen from Jersey Village? Having them above Katy and Langham and other schools that typically perform better than them, if they are having a groundbreaking year, I would love to know more!

I wouldn't call Jersey Village's show "groundbreaking," but it stands out above Katy and Langham. From what I've heard, Katy has experienced a slight decline, though they remain strong. Langham has improved significantly, making it a close call for second place. However, Jersey Village's superior design and music elevate their performance beyond previous years, and I believe they have the potential for a strong comeback later in the season. They typically Place above Langham over the years expect for 2024 Since poor choice of design and etc

I’ve been following their progress through some early performance clips and recently their hoco game, and they’re definitely making waves. To clarify, I wouldn’t call their year "groundbreaking" in the sense of revolutionizing the activity, but they’re showing a noticeable leap in quality that’s putting them ahead of expectations, even against heavyweights like Katy and Langham.

While I think Jersey village is a great program I haven’t heard or seen anything to suggest they should be ahead of either of those bands for one Jersey has actually slipped away from both of them since 22 and while a change in design could help them it won’t drastically change there band right away especially since the release of the Langham video I just can’t see it happening
