I’m driving down from NW Arkansas on Thursday to spend the night with a friend in Hurst and then I’ll be headed to Leander on Friday! I’m so anxious to get “home” again, even if just for a few days. I can’t wait to see my youngest baby girl (a former Leander band kid), eat at my favorite Tex Mex restaurant, hug some dear friends and see the best BOA regional in the country! (IMHO of course 😁). I’m so ready!!

I think finals is pretty much a lock as to who is advancing, but I’m mostly interested in how the first five or six groups out of finals are going to shake out. God this contest is INSANE.

Vista Ridge had to rewrite their ballad and their closer due to the Netflix lawsuit with the Unofficial Bridgerton Musical, as they were performing “Alone Together.” They started learning new music this morning, so I’ve been told.
Yikes.

Yikes. From what I understand, the rewrites don't need to be nearly that drastic so I don't think it should drastically effect their scores beyond this weekend if at all.

I just heard the MIDI file of the rewrite. They are keeping the exact same framework and structure of their original ballad, but making the tune “unrecognizable.” Drill shouldn’t need to change much, if at all. They will be fine this weekend. Not nearly as drastic of a situation as I was initially led to believe.

Not nearly as drastic of a situation as I was initially led to believe. Still a bit of a bummer since the original arrangement was sounding pretty fantastic. Hopefully it retains some of that magic, even as "original" music. Definitely a unique design challenge...

I have only seen Cedar Ridge, RR, and Vandy on videos and none of those videos were of really any good quality. So, it is hard to say. Wish CTJ was going because I really like what I have seen from them this year so far.
I do think with Vandegrift, Leander, (and Vista Ridge??) having director shakeups that does open the door for some potential switches. Maybe not Vandy so much but perhaps the others.
And Vista Ridge has a new design team right?? No more Lindsey?
Cedar Ridge does look very strong, but call me shocked if they could beat Vandegrift.
Round Rock seemed pretty good musically from What I could tell. James Bowie as well, but it looks like they have a dog of a show this year. Maybe I’m wrong!

That prediction is annoyingly wrong and disrespectful I've seen/heard video of just about all of these groups, some more than one run. It's an honest comparative assessment of what I've seen/heard from them thus far this year. It should also be said that any band who makes finals at this regional would have a serious shot of medaling at just about any other regional across the country. I assure you, there is no lack of respect for any of these programs from this poster Feel free to update your posted pre-season thoughts, I'd love to see how you think things will shake out! Looks like we have the same top 13, just in a different order.
