Round Rock 2. Cedar Ridge 3. Westwood 4. CTJ 5. Reagan (Maybe not this band, but come on..its Reagan) 6. Bowie  This is going to be a tough contest.

Band2021 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 My picks for top 5: 1. Cedar Ridge: this seems like their year and they currently have the momentum. I really think musically they dominate here. I think other groups could take visual but it might not be enough. 2. CTJ: They are always a threat for gold at this contest. A lot of cleaning should be done by the 29th so it depends on how they compare to CR. 3. Reagan: This year Reagan if they clean can be a force visually but is lacking in music which can be a hard factor to overcome at a UIL contest. I think the other RR will be a challenge for them this year. 4. Round Rock: They are doing so much better this year. They are clean and ready for a return to state. I think that musically they can top Reagan but they need to really perform strong in finals. 5. Westwood or Bowie: The fifth spot will be hard to predict but I think these bands hold the higher cards. DS is good but this is a 6A contest so the difficulty level is way up. I always go in thinking any thing can happen so I hope for the best for everyone. It will be one heck of a contest and can't wait to be there for finals. Zil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidBandDad Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Broadening the predictions a bit, some of us are interested in who makes finals. Any thoughts on what the top 10 from prelims looks like and who has a shot? I. have some thoughts but am new here so I want to see what the "experts" think :).

abtwitch Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 My Top 10 (alphabetical order): Cedar Ridge Claudia Taylor Johnson Dripping Springs James Bowie McNeil New Braunfels Ronald Reagan Round Rock Westwood Winston Churchill  Other bands that I think could sneak in include Harker Heights, Midway, and Weiss MidBandDad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I think Cedar Ridge is taking it this year abtwitch, Tubalord11 and BandFan95 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urmom292 Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 this competition could really go anyway with the top 5 with all of the groups going. it will definitely be one of the most competitive area contests this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandFan59 Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Final Predictions Cedar Ridge Ronald Reagan Claudia Taylor Johnson Round Rock James Bowie Westwood Dripping Springs Weiss Winston Churchill New Braunfels The top 3 of Cedar Ridge, Reagan, and CTJ are locks to advance to state, with the order between them possibly shifting. Round Rock has bounced back from a somewhat disappointing 2021 season with a great show and looks likely to advance. I think James Bowie will be able to edge out Westwood for the last state qualifying spot, but it will be tight. After the top 6 it gets a lot more wide open in terms of who will fill out the rest of the finalist spots, so I wouldn't be surprised to see any variety of bands like Midway, Harker Heights, McNeil, etc. take the spots of the bands I have listed. peshbandkid and Dave609 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReveriesOp24 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Here's my predictions: 1-Cedar Ridge 2-CTJ 3-Reagan 4-Round Rock 5-Bowie 6-Westwood 7-Dripping Springs 8-McNeil 9-Churchill 10-(Weiss/Midway/Harker Heights/New Braunfels) this spot seems pretty open to me   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidBandDad Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 I tend to agree that after the top few perennial powers, there's a lot of opportunities here. Part of that is realignment, and part of that is bands marching more complex shows and doing it really well. Here's hoping for our Midway kids to march twice Saturday! #cardiac  ReveriesOp24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Hou Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Wow, what a stacked region. So many of the bottom 5 bands in this region could be top 4 in the other regions. Crazy competitive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Weiss's show but they haven't been very competitive this year against this competition so I think you have them a little high.
