Going to wait for the UIL State results on Tuesday to make my final predictions so that I can see how Flower Mound stacks up with the rest of the Texas bands here as well as Hebron. If they're able to secure a medal there that would put them in good shape for a medal here. Given UIL's move towards a more BOA-centered rubric at the state level hopefully it will be a decent indicator of how Flower Mound would have fared at BOA San Antonio.

Hebron is too good, I think more likely than not they take it again. They have really cleaned so much since BOA Dallas. But of course Flower Mound has only lost to them once I believe so far.

Indy weather forecast is predicting COLD temps for all classes - temps in the 30s and 40s ( real temps, not the other kind). Texas friends need to pack a coat and gloves! But once you're inside LOS you'll be very comfortable in short sleeves. Just don't pull any of that "I'll be in and out throughout the day" stuff. You'll catch a cold with all the cold/warm/cold/warm transitions.

It was freezing! And I don’t usually get cold as I have plenty of “natural insulation” lol. Bring a light jacket inside just in case, I say!

And those from Michigan and Minnesota may need your spring jackets. I'm heading to Indy from the Coastal Plain of Eastern North Carolina. I intend to travel with no more than a lined windbreaker.

That's because of the air conditioning blasting when it's 90 outside. When it's cold outside, 72 indoors will feel quite nice.

Unfortunately, I yet again have Fishers in 13th Hoping they can pull ahead of the Wando-Mason tier but it’s looking like they’ll be at the top of the Castle-Homestead-Brownsburg-DB tier

Hoping for a Flower Mound & Hebron medal at UIL this week! Would’ve loved if The Woodlands was attending. They’re my other favorite. The only band that Hebron has lost to this season is Flower Mound. Flower Mound beat Hebron at BOA Dallas in both prelims and finals. At Area Finals, Flower Mound also beat Hebron, although Hebron did come out in 1st in prelims.

There is an OK-ish video posted from Flower Mound's send-off performance last night for those interested.

Unless you're standing in direct line of exterior air, there's zero reason to be cold in the dome

Unless you're standing in direct line of exterior air, there's zero reason to be cold in the dome If you’re under a fan or blower, it gets chilly. We were there for IN State finals last night. I had long sleeves and still ended up putting my coat on at the end. I think if you tend to get chilly in AC, bring a sweatshirt or jacket. I am always a little cold there.

I always forget, but all the seats have backs to them, right? There’s no need to bring a stadium seat, but maybe a seat cushion? Gotta keep the pregnant lady coming with me as happy as possible

Grand Nats Predictions 11/7/21
Panel 1 Broken Arrow, OK (AAAA) Flower Mound, TX (AAAA) Ronald Reagan, TX Marcus, TX William Mason, OH Vista Ridge, TX Blue Springs, MO (AAA) Dobyns-Bennett, TN (AAA) Castle, IN Round Rock, TX Rosemount, MN
Panel 2 Claudia Taylor Johnson, TX (AAAA) Avon, IN (AAAA) Woodlands, TX Carmel, IN Wando, SC Fishers, IN O’Fallon, IL Bentonville, AR Franklin, TN (AAA) Center Grove, IN Greenfield Central, IN
Next 8 Brownsburg, IN (Panel 1) Mustang, OK (Panel 1) Homestead, IN (Panel 1) Centerville, OH (Panel 1) Marian Catholic, IL (Panel 1 AA) Lake Central, IN (Panel 1) Lawrence Township, IN (Panel 2) Morton, IL (Panel 1 AA)
Class Reps AAA Cleveland, NC (Panel 2) AA Miamisburg, OH (Panel 2) Anderson County, KY (Panel 2) A Bourbon County, KY (Panel 2) Beechwood, KY (Panel 1) Estill County, KY (Panel 1) Murray, KY (Panel 2)
Finals (with all the bands that could make it imo) Broken Arrow, OK (M, V) Flower Mound, TX (GE) Claudia Taylor Johnson, TX Avon, IN The Woodlands, TX Carmel, IN Ronald Reagan, TX Marcus, TX William Mason, OH Vista Ridge, TX Blue Springs, MO Dobyns-Bennett, TN —————————————— Wando, SC Round Rock, TX Castle, IN Fishers, IN Mustang, OK Rosemount, MN Brownsburg, IN
This is my somewhat uninformed, somewhat unrealistic, downright ridiculous attempt at predictions. Wow this year is SOOOOO GOOOOD but SOOOOOO HAAAARD to predict!
Broken Arrow is incredible at everything they do, but Flower Mound’s show is so fun and they’ve gotten REALLY clean! Any one of the Top 6 could take home the eagle imo (and would any other year). Indiana State really helped with figuring out a lot of the Indy placements, although I’m sure many of them are subject to change (I’m pretty much counting on it at this point). San Antonio basically proved that we underestimated Texas once again lol, and that with some cleaning Vista and Round rock are serious forces to be reckoned with! it is Rosemount’s first time having a season beyond mid October, I have no idea how they’re cleaning compared to other groups, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Every group in the bottom list I could see in finals, which is absolutely nuts! Mustang is a wild card but they’re show is fun and if they clean like mad (which I’m sure they have been), they are looking in on that 12th spot.

This is the best I have at present time. There are always surprises. That band that practically nobody predicted to make finals or a band placing higher than predicted. 1. Broken Arrow (V, GE) 2. Flower Mound (M) 3. Avon 4. Carmel 5. Claudia Taylor Johnson 5. The Woodlands 6. Reagan 7. William Mason 8. Blue Springs 9. Marcus 10. Castle 11. Vista Ridge 12. Fishers Interesting to see Fishers on a list. They are my dark horse pick. I would love to see Fishers get in. I am a little less concerned about Castle getting in after what I just watched.

Their sound quality is a little better on this performance from Area finals. There was a cold front this past Saturday that affected their sound as you can tell from their send-off performance. Those flute soloists at the beginning…so so good🔥🔥

I’ll probably post one more sometime this week, so here is my penultimate prediction for Nats. I probably missed a lot of people, so please lmk if I did lol.
1.) Broken Arrow (M/V) 2.) Flower Mound (GE) 3.) Carmel 4.) Avon 5.) Claudia Taylor Johnson 6.) The Woodlands 7.) Ronald Reagan 8.) Marcus 9.) William Mason 10.) Blue Springs 11.) Vista Ridge 12.) Dobyns Bennett — — — — — — — — — — — — — 13.) Wando 14.) Fishers (not so secretly hoping they break into finals tho😁) 15.) Round Rock 16.) Castle 17.) Brownsburg 18.) Mustang 19.) Homestead 20.) Bentonville 21.) Rosemount 22.) O’Fallon 23.) Marian Catholic 24.) Rockford 25.) Center Grove 26.) Centerville 27.) Franklin 28.) Lawrence township 29.) Morton 30.) Cleveland 31.) Norwin 32.) Plymouth Canton idk beyond this lol

Okay, I don’t believe this will actually happen, but here are my somewhat wild finals predictions:
1.) Flower Mound (GE) 2.) Broken Arrow (V) 3.) Carmel 4.) Ronald Reagan (M) 5.) Claudia Taylor Johnson 6.) Avon 7.) The Woodlands 8.) Marcus 9.) Vista Ridge 10.) William Mason 11.) Blue Springs 12.) Round Rock
Again, it’s a bit out there, but Reagan took 2nd in music at SA with a performance that was far from perfect, so if they clean up, I could see them potentially grabbing the caption here and jumping up a decent bit from how most people see them stacking up against the rest. I will say, however, that having Avon so low kinda feels wrong, and this list will likely prove to be far from reality.

I thought I would feel more confident about my predictions after San Antonio, and I was only partially correct. I’d have a lot easier time if anyone just happened to have a video of any of the top 5 bands from Indiana state, and said person just happened to PM me.
Here we go: 1. Broken Arrow 2. Avon 3. Flower Mound 4. Carmel 5. Claudia Taylor Johnson 6. The Woodlands 7. Ronald Reagan 8. Marcus 9. Vista Ridge 10. William Mason 11. Blue Springs 12. Fishers
Music: Flower Mound Visual: Avon General Effect: Broken Arrow
