Thought it would be fun to bring this back, you can use this thread to place your ranking bands for the 2023 season from the 50 states, we all know and love.
Just remember we are here to have fun, and nothing should be taken too seriously.

Collierville is the only band on this list that I haven`t seen yet. I just know that, just like Bartlett, they are having some impressive growth. So their placement is purely hype based.

RIP Munford and Arlington. I probably shouldve said that these are based off of bands that I`ve seen perform recently lol. I`ve never seen Munford or Arlington :/ You should probably travel out of the East Tennessee mountains to the Mississippi River side of your state more often.

Since Colorado hosted the first big show of the year last week here's my thought on top groups right now, I didn't fully agree with some placements from what I saw and what I think some of the groups will be able to do longterm.
1. Fossil Ridge 2. Legacy 2. Loveland 3. Centaurus 4. Lakewood 5. Monarch 6. Rampart 7. Fountain Fort Carson (Not at the show but were super fun last year) 8. Air Academy 9. D'Evelyn 10. Mesa Ridge (Not at the show, but historically strong)

Oklahoma:
1) Broken Arrow 2) Jenks 3) Union 4) Owasso 5) Mustang 6) Edmond Santa Fe 7) Bixby 8) Yukon 9) Southmoore 10) Edmond Memorial
Making this list made me realize just how insane the competition is becoming in Oklahoma. Also I tried my best to make this based off of statistics as of this season, while including groups who have not been scored yet.

Oregon: 1. Grants Pass 2. West Salem 3. Sherwood 4. Mountainside 5. Century 6. Sprague 7. Sunset 8. Sheldon 9. Glencoe 10. Roseburg
Washington: 1. Ridgeline 2. Kamiak 3. Cheney 4. Mead 5. Mt. Spokane 6. AC Davis 7. Chiawana 8. West Valley 9. Kennewick 10. Central Valley
You can basically consider these my preseason rankings for the region as there's only been a couple competitions really, and a good chunk of these bands haven't performed yet.

I went with the first Lafayette I found, but I’ll do some deeper digging now. You’re probably right! I’ll try to see if they’ve attended any recent St. Louis area competitions.

Walled Lake BIG GAP Everyone else If we go off the Toledo results, this is about how it is Yep top three easily Jenison, Rockford and Walled Lake. I think Rockford and Walled Lake will be in a big battle for the Flight 1 title. Next three are Lake Orion, PCEP and Novi. This should make for an interesting state championships in Flight 1. Next week will give a better look at the other 4 to round out the top 10. Reeths-Puffer and DeWitt will likely be in that group.

Oklahoma, Top 30 (as of 10/8/2023)
1. Broken Arrow 2. Jenks 3. Mustang 4. Owasso 5. Union 6. Edmond Santa Fe 7. Bixby 8. Yukon 9. Southmoore 10. Choctaw 11. Deer Creek 12. Edmond North 13. Westmoore 14. Sapulpa 15. Edmond Memorial 16. Stillwater 17. Piedmont 18. Coweta 19. Collinsville 20. Carl Albert 21. Moore 22. Norman North 23. Bartlesville 24. Putnam City North 25. Fort Gibson 26. Sallisaw 27. McAlester 28. Blanchard 29. Guthrie 30. Tahlequah
This is a *rough* list, but I just tried to go as much off of placements as possible (and minimizing guessing/theoretical placements). For example, Bixby lost to ESF at Owasso, so they are lower (even though I think by the end of the season, Bixby will likely place higher). Sometimes, it was impossible to predict (Yukon, Owasso haven't been placed), so I did my best to throw them in. Let me know if you have other thoughts/if I missed anyone you think deserves a spot in the top 30!

Everyone always just does the KMEA bands only I feel like Campbell is the only non-KMEA group who might enter into a top 10 discussion. As for where… in the Murray zone? That is, top shelf, but maybe not quite Lafayette and Mad Central. So, just to put a number on it… 3-5 or so?
