This show is now listed as being on 9/30. A couple weeks later for this location is a very good idea due to the heat in South Texas.

This one badly needs a bump. Not Attending: Georgetown H.S., TX (attending Midway Marching Preview) it also needs to fill up! Oh I’m positive it is. Virtually all of the bands in the likely list attend every year! Most RGV bands just don’t have a website or a good social media presence, or both.

Exactly two months until this contest! It's time for very early predictions. Rather than going through the headache of trying to guess placements, I'm making the predictions tier-based and in alphabetical order.
I think this will be a showdown between John B. Alexander and Roma for the win. Usual attendees and RGV powerhouses Del Rio, Sharyland and United should see the top half of finals. The addition of Weslaco is very exciting and I can see them doing very well here, depending on how the early season gods want this show to go.
Rounding out the bottom half of finals, we should see the likes of Pioneer, PSJA Early College and Rio Grande City. A whole bunch of groups will be fighting for those last few spots in finals. Can Robert Vela finally make finals again after a several-year-long dry spell? Will newcomer Los Fresnos perform twice? Can Port Isabel nudge their way in after placing 14th last year? We will find out in eight weeks!
Champion Contenders (1-2): John B. Alexander H.S., TX Roma H.S., TX ---------- Finals Locks (3-6): Del Rio H.S., TX Sharyland H.S., TX United H.S., TX Weslaco H.S., TX ---------- Likely Finalists (7-10): Pieper H.S., TX Pioneer H.S., TX PSJA Early College H.S., TX Rio Grande City H.S., TX ---------- Finals Bubble (11-17): Edinburg H.S., TX Edinburg North H.S., TX Hidalgo Early College H.S., TX La Joya H.S., TX* (if attending) Los Fresnos H.S., TX Port Isabel H.S., TX Robert Vela H.S., TX ---------- Everyone Else (18-24): Gladys Porter H.S., TX McAllen Memorial H.S., TX ---------- McAllen H.S., TX McAllen Nikki Rowe H.S., TX Mission Veterans Memorial H.S., TX ---------- Santa Rosa H.S., TX Valley View H.S., TX

Last I heard there were still bands signing up for this show. Probably explains why it’s the only show remaining on its weekend without a schedule yet.

Prelims schedule updated with shortened performance intervals.
Doesn’t really make a whole lot of difference other than the show ending 15 minutes sooner and the show starting 72 minutes later, which is great for the first bands on.
