The schedule also allows for a lot of bubble band comparison too, which is also nice. Including:

 

Westlake - Cedar Ridge

Vista Ridge - Keller Central - Hendrickson - Dripping Springs

Rouse - Churchill

Oak Ridge - Keller

Pretty much the first half of the middle block on Saturday too!

 

My thoughts exactly...Could easily see that Vista/Keller Central/Hendrickson/Drip block finish 13-16th in any number of orders.

LD Bell, Hebron, Friendswood, Cedar Park and around Rock all got rough draws, wouldn't be surprised if their prelims scores aren't very high

 

Everyone gets a rough draw at some point. You just have to perform well whenever you are scheduled. At least this is a BOA event where the judging is fairly consistent. If they perform well, they will be fine. Besides, you just need to make the finals and then you can really worry about scores.

That would push the contest to 3 days. Might be a little tough for most people to afford a 3-day competition both in time and money.

To me, any of the following bands could make finals and will probably be the top 28 for sure. This is in performance order so I just went through and based on what I've seen this year and previous years put them in a list.

 

1.    

Cedar Ridge

 

 

2.    

Westlake

 

 

3.    

Round Rock

 

 

4.    

Cedar Park

 

 

5.    

Dripping Springs

 

 

6.    

Keller Central

 

 

7.    

Hendrickson

 

 

8.    

Pflugerville

 

 

9.    

Vista Ridge

 

 

10.  Cypress

Falls

 

 

11.  Westwood

 

 

12.  Vandegrift

 

 

13.  Claudia

Taylor Johnson

 

 

14.  Ronald

Reagan

 

 

15.  Winston

Churchill

 

 

16.  James

Martin

 

 

17.  Friendswood

 

 

18.  Hebron

 

 

19.  LD

Bell

 

 

20.  The

Woodlands College Park

 

 

21.  Pearland

 

 

22.  Wakeland

 

 

23.  Marcus

 

 

24.  The

Woodlands

 

 

25.  Oak

Ridge

 

 

26.  Keller

 

 

27.  Leander

 

 

28.  Flower

Mound

I just don't think the draw matters very much anymore. There are just too many good great bands. If your band is not in the top 8 or so, it can vary extremely widely in terms of final placement. Finals, no finals, 25th place, etc.

I have 12 near-locks and a ridiculously large amount of bands in the bubble to fill the last two spots. This competition only gets more competitive every year.

 

Not to mention that there's only one week between SA and Gnats, so the Gnats bands are going to be much closer to peaking than a usual Gnats year, not to mention that a ton of really, really good non-Gnatters are ideally peaking at the same time. I wouldn't even be (that) surprised if there was only a 2 point spread for the entire top 10.

Followed by:


CTJ

The Woodlands

 

Then Finals up in the air between:

No Cedar Park? They've beaten Vandegrift this season (yes, by a slim margin) so I think they would be in finals here.
