outofstepmarcher#7 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I know that the 5a state marching contest topic is already up, but i wanted to make one specifically for predictions. Does anyone have top 12 predictions or a full prediction list yet? I can't wait to see what everyone thinks! Quote

hgp_smtx1821 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I don’t know about finals but I’m predicting Cedar Park, McCallum, and Dripping Springs medal. Quote

El Gato_01 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Very true. I feel like it is so hard to predict, yet a BOA regional while not 100% accurate is still easier to get at least in the ballpark. UIL is really such a crapshoot...I guess the big part of it is, not all of these guys do the BOA circuit and so when we see them it's a pleasant surprise. Quote
SpartanBandAlum Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I throw darts at balloons. Leave it to the Fates. Seriously, this is difficult to predict. Balloon darts would probably be just as accurate as any other method at this point el jefe 2 1 Quote
outofstepmarcher#7 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Posted October 30, 2019 I always find it fun to essentially guess at who will be in finals even though i'm never close Quote
GeekyBandMom Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 No particular order Cedar Park Dripping Springs McCallum Rouse Weiss Friendswood Burleson Centennial Wylie East Aledo Eastlake Forney Highland Park I think this is solid based on the season so far. I think Rouse and CP medal, and not sure who on top. I don’t think show style is as important as years past, but performance is and both of those groups do it well. The rest of the lineup order is up for grabs imo, the groups are all somewhat close in skill, difficulty and have different strong points. Performance time might be a factor, might not. Will be interesting to see how it plays out and what the kids do with their 8 minutes! landong 1 Quote

Mash Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Until Cedar Park doesn't get first, I pick them. The have a great program and system proven to win UIL. Quote
jvinton206 Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 We are just overjoyed that North Forney, yes, NORTH made it for the first time. Two schools from the same city. Gonna be great for our town. the terminator 1 Quote
Band2013 Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Cedar Park is the champion it is hard to see them not winning, no other groups match them musically. However, in two years i think Rouse or Weiss might put up a strong fight. Quote
Mash Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Cedar Park is the champion it is hard to see them not winning, no other groups match them musically. However, in two years i think Rouse or Weiss might put up a strong fight. And if Leander moves down to 5A they will push each other. It could be LISD sweeps again if that happens. And watch out for Glenn high school in two years. Quote
outofstepmarcher#7 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Posted October 31, 2019 I think we’re going to see bands people expect lower in finals to do well in finals this year. Groups such as lone star, Wylie East, Lebanon trail, Hp, centennial, weiss, and McCallum. 1 might even break the top 3 barrier, who currently I believe to be cedar, dripping and Rouse. I expect some groups to do better than predicted. I agree with you. I think Highland Park will land in the top 3 this year, knocking out Dripping Springs. I also expect groups like Lebanon Trail, Mcallum and Midlothian to break into the top 12. Quote
Band2013 Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 And if Leander moves down to 5A they will push each other. It could be LISD sweeps again if that happens. And watch out for Glenn high school in two years. If Leaner does move down then 5A would be extremely competitive, for years Cedar Park, Dripping Springs, and Vandy (before they moved up) held on to the purse strings. As a lot more districts invest in their bands we will see a fight for first place. For example, 6A has many great groups and finally after so many years we see a band not from the Dallas suburbs win. I think we will be see alot of that in the next coming state competitions. Quote
BandNerd20 Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 I also expect groups like Lebanon Trail, Mcallum and Midlothian to break into the top 12. I find it weird a lot of people seem to under estimate McCallum this year. Ik they beat Drippings Springs at Cap City and even in topped Drippings Springs in Area. El Gato_01 and tubaboom44 2 Quote
El Gato_01 Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I find it weird a lot of people seem to under estimate McCallum this year. Ik they beat Drippings Springs at Cap City and even in topped Drippings Springs in Area. People go with what they know, especially the big BOA names. Quote
SpartanBandAlum Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I’m gonna guess a Cedar Park/Wakeland/Rouse top 3, with either McCallum or LT (Maybe?) in 4th It’s still completely up in the air though. Excited to see everyone perform! Quote
ja2austintx Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I find it weird a lot of people seem to under estimate McCallum this year. Ik they beat Drippings Springs at Cap City and even in topped Drippings Springs in Area. McCallum has a more dynamic sound than Dripping Springs, with a more difficult book. Musically, they're superior. Visually, I'd say both are pretty clean, but Mac's uniforms hide dirt better. I'd give the nod to DS in guard, by a fair margin. All in all it balances out to a slight edge for Mac, as seen at both Cap City and Area. Quote
Majellan Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I don’t know about finals but I’m predicting Cedar Park, McCallum, and Dripping Springs medal. Don’t forget about Lebanon Trail and Wakeland. Lebanon Trail may not go to Boa, but they pretty much schooled everyone else in area b including Wakeland. Quote
Vinnyg1@hp Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (Alphabetically) Cedar Park Dripping Springs Friendswood Highland Park Lebanon Trail Lone Star McCallum Midlothian Poteet Rouse Wakeland Wylie East Why is Burleson Centennial not on here? They had an incredible performance. Quote
Vinnyg1@hp Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Also, not a flex but highland park was the only finalist from area C. Quote
gr8n8 Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Why is Burleson Centennial not on here? They had an incredible performance. This was somebody’s prediction from last week. B. Centennial DID make the finals. Quote
