8/26 schedule update Move Rouse to 10:24 start. All other band times remain unchanged. The break is now an hour between Vandegrift and McCallum. Wonder why they would volunteer to perform first (not that will matter much for them, adjudicator-wise).

Wonder why they would volunteer to perform first (not that will matter much for them, adjudicator-wise). Slightly cooler weather? More time to relax or to rehearse once they see how the prelims run goes? Another school activity that band members might wish to attend that can be accommodated? Could be any number of things.

If it’s the first reason, everyone should be volunteering earlier performance times… BOA might as well start the show at 8:00am like they do for a full regional. 😂

1. Vandegrift (Music) 2. Rouse (GE) 3. Cedar Park (Vis) 4. Leander 5. Vista Ridge 6. Round Rock 7. Westlake 8. Cedar Ridge 9. Westwood 10. Lake Travis 11. McCallum 12. Liberty Hill ---------- 13. Klein Cain 14. Hutto
Vandegrift reclaims this regional title after last year, but everyone get your shades on because Leander is coming! <script src="moz-extension://d0da1b9c-573f-46c8-bdd2-79092c646321/js/app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I dare say Leander is in the running for that bronze medal.
Westlake might pop into the top half.

Vista Ridge is looking good this year, I would not count them out of the top 4. Saw them in practice with more than 6 min. of the show on the field and that was a week ago.

Anybody seen any performances yet? If so, what are your thoughts? I saw round rock Friday night and they are lightyears ahead of any of the previous 8 years at this stage.

Vandegrift is bonkers and will most likely win it here, though I haven't seen Vista or Rouse yet so you never know. Cedar Park and Leander are off to strong starts for their long seasons, both shows will be big crowd favorites. Westlake has a good bit already on the field and it gels well, along with their typically good fundamentals. I also saw Round Rock and agree with your assessment, was trying to be low key but they should have a good season this year haha.

A friend shared a RR video with me and I have to say that I REALLY like where they are right now! Also, Leander has more show on the field for this time of the season than I can ever remember them having before. And it’s a great show! I can’t wait to get back to Leander two weeks from today to spend the week with some of my favorite kiddos!

it seems like alot of the local austin area bands are off to a great start. this should make the regional even more interesting. if anyone is needing a place to crash that weekend i will have an extra bedroom ( maybe 2) just send me a message. i live in leander. about 10 minutes from the stadium.

The worst is when you decide to risk going deaf by turning the volume all the way up just to hear the band a teeny bit better

McCallum Having seen 3 of the top 5 bands on most peoples predictions i think alot of people are sleeping on round rock. yes im a round rock homer but they are farther along at this point than they have been in any season since 2016 ( when i moved here) one of the biggest problems they have had in the past is not having enough show on the field and not enough choreography in it yet. they have a new drill writer and this years drill seems to be a much better GE producing drill than in the past. they also hired a choreographer for the first time ( previous years were done by the directors). i wont be surprised if they actually have the whole show on the field by this contest. at least music and drill. last year they had about 5.5 minutes of show on the field for BOA austin. they already had more than that last week.

I'd have Leander above Cedar Park, even though it probably won't happen

I'd have Leander above Cedar Park, even though it probably won't happen CP looks and sounds phenomenal right now. Leander is cooking as well. And then there’s Rouse, who could win it all again! But besides all that, is there any other regional where the 3A competition against each other is so fierce? I’m genuinely curious!

None currently, but the Southeastern regionals about a decade ago where always loaded with 3A schools with unpredictable results.
