josephbandfan Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Confirmed: Brewer Fossil Ridge Keller Central Krum Hoping this contest can fill up a little more. Not too optimistic about a huge turnout though considering there are at least 5 other contests happening in the metroplex on this day.

So much congestion in the contest schedule, love and hate to see it at the same time ‘cause I just want stacked contests right off the gate, and this is a favorite of mine to go to, but the roster still looks good so far! josephbandfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Probably will be in attendance for this one, still debating it with the Wylie comp, as of course an early glance at Flomo is always nice, and it’s probably gonna be pretty stacked as well, and I’ll get to see a good amount of these programs and the prosper regional josephbandfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Also, I love how we now have two comps with all 4 Keller ISD schools in attendance JulietPapa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love for all 4 to make finals at at least one of them, this one probably being the most realistic for that to happen is Fossil Ridge can build off the success from last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News to me being an alumni seeing it now😂 Arlington is also going so it’s good to see both schools going to a strong early contest, hope they do well!

josephbandfan Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Definitely more bands than I was initially expecting. Hope to see some surprises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 If I wasn't going to the prosper regional which most of these bands are, and the Wylie comp wasn't the same day I'd defiantly be going here, but I'll get to see most of these bands anyways. I'm really happy how this contest is turning out to be. As of now, I think finals will look something like this: 1st/2nd: Wakeland/Marcus 3rd: Keller(could seem them being 1st or 2nd) 4th: Timber Creek 5th: Forney 6th: Keller Central 7th: James Martin 8th: Haltom 9th: Aledo 10th: Azle 11th: Byron Nelson 12th: W.E Boswell/Fossil Ridge/Brewer It's going to be super close for those last two spots. I'd say that Azle may not even be in finals, but I feel like the 1st-9th bands are pretty much locks as of now. It's going to be super competitive, and hopefully a few more bands join the lineup!

BandNerd07 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 My early predictions for here: 1. Marcus 2. Keller 3. Wakeland 4. Timber Creek 5. Keller Central 6. Aledo 7. Forney 8. James Martin 9. Haltom 10. Azle 11. Boswell 12. Fossil Ridge I believe there are 12 finalists because it's been like that foor years at this point. Anyway, this list was extremely hard to make and all of these bands are talented, but unfortunately there will be some finals-worthy bands that won't make it. This is kind of like a pre-BOA since DFW happens the following week, and this comp has BOA style judging as well. So I think the results will give us an idea on how DFW goes because most of them will be back the next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Wakeland, Keller and Marcus all switching, but it's gonna be a great comp, and yes, 12 in finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keller Central 9. James Martin 10. Azle 11. Boswell 12. Fossil Ridge Having seen videos of many of these groups, I would say this is my order for now. Marcus and Keller have different approaches with their shows, so we'll see who comes out cleaner. Marcus is a bit edgier than last year, which I love! Keller seems to be getting back to their roots so to speak of doing a big, beautiful show. I will say that they are moving WAY better than they have in the past at this point. As mentioned in other threads, Wakeland's show come across as not as difficult as last year's presentation, but will likely be quite clean. I've got Forney in the top 5 ahead of TC. They are coming on strong, and were a surprise group here last year. The TC video I saw was still pretty messy, so hopefully they can clean up a lot prior to HEB. Aledo always plays SO well, as does Haltom. Keller Central's show is HARD, and I would imagine that they will still have a lot of cleaning to do early in the season.

Yeah, after seeing Wakeland I agree, at least from a visual standpoint. Musically it’s still a pretty challenging show, at least what I’ve seen imo, but I’d say the most likely will land in 3rd.
