Add:
D'Evelyn H.S., CO
Really, really lucky I stumbled upon this band before the official schedule likely comes out in the next couple of days, I've never heard of them until I was looking into CBA marching band results earlier today. They won Class 3A (around AA size in BOA from what I can tell) by a pretty wide margin so I expect them to do well here!

They’d be 10th-12th this year, and I’d imagine they should be around the same or a little lower. Correct me if I’m wrong? All that said, all signs seem to point towards Class A.

So either a large A or a small AA D'Evelyn is a Jr/Sr high school, so that 1,000 is 7-12. They should definitely be in Class A. And they should dominate Class A and make Top 12 Finals. I'm excited to see what D'Evelyn will do in BOA. They have very quickly become one of Colorado's top bands. They are 2A in enrollment size but voluntarily compete up a class in 3A. They were the 2019 CBA state champion in 3A, and in my Colorado CBA spreadsheet I had them as the 12th-best band in Colorado out of ALL classes (what, you thought I only did BOA?).

I have a feeling that Burleson Centennial might make an appearance here or in Katy as the first band to go, their calendar recently updated and removed BOA Austin from their line up and added an Oct. 2nd “TBA” contest. I’m thinking that they might just trade the payment on BOA Austin to another BOA, but on Oct. 2nd.

Judging Panel
Music: Ryan Johnstone, Ken Turner (Head Judge), Kyle Weirich Visual: Sal Adamo, Mickey Kelly, John Turner
This panel is one music judge short - we'll have to keep an eye on the Judge Bios sheet on the MFA website for updates. Can't imagine they'll have a reduced panel for this show.

I’d imagine there’s maybe some travel issues in getting another judge maybe? I can’t see this being on purpose at all.

Those judges are a lot more likely to be conflicted out though. My point was more about the fact that if Texas judges can go to Ohio, judges from other areas can just as easily travel to Texas. There are qualified adjudicators all over the country, including some new names to the BOA panels in recent years.

It’s difficult to gauge how well they’ll do, but given their past success it shouldn’t be hard for them to medal. I do agree with you that Hendrickson isn’t the frontrunner for this contest by anything, as much as I enjoyed their show. They’ve got some real competition here and they’ll have to fight for the top half.

D'Evelyn was just able to take 4th place at Colorado local contest which may not sound impressive, but the 3 bands ahead of them are probably the solid top 3 in the state. D'Evelyn even managed to win Visual over all 3 programs.

Congratulations to them on their strong visual finish.

Fossil Ridge, Air Academy, and Loveland (in that order I think) Shouldn’t be tough to see them in finals then. They’ll definitely be on the lookout for a top half finish, it’s a long ways travel for them to Midland.
