Confirmed: Frenship H.S., TX (band calendar) Odessa H.S., TX (band calendar) Legacy is not attending this season. Confirmed: Midland Lee H.S., TX (band calendar) ? Isn’t Midland “Lee” now Midland Legacy? Looking back I think I was on Mansfield Legacy’s website by mistake.

Is Randall AAA? They recently dropped to 4A in UIL. Since some AAs are 5A in UIL (like Grapevine), I would think that Randall would be a AA unless there were serious student population changes.

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.
MUSTANGGGGGGGGGG. So excited to see them make the trip down here. I think it will be an exciting battle between them and Hendrickson for the win, and I'm also excited to see where Clovis falls around them. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for things to be pretty close between the top three. Loveland is also a very exciting addition after several years of being a "wishlist" band. I except a top half finish for them.
I don't really expect many surprises with the majority of the projected finalists, but the bottom three or so will be interesting. Midland had a great season last year, placing 10th in prelims after placing 15th in 2021, so they will be eyeing for a repeat of last season. Pecos and Legacy have both always been neck and neck here, save for 2018 where Legacy had a seemingly anomalous 4th place finish, and every year they seem to get closer and closer to the finals threshold. Lubbock-Cooper is always on the cusp here as well, and San Angelo Central has been an exciting addition the last few years.
Again I say, MUSTANGGGGGGGGGG!
Medalist Contenders (1-3): Clovis H.S., NM Mustang H.S., OK Robert E. Hendrickson H.S., TX ---------- Finals Locks (4-9): Braswell H.S., TX Colleyville Heritage H.S., TX Frenship H.S., TX Loveland H.S., CO Permian H.S., TX Sachse H.S., TX ---------- Finals Bubble (10-14): Legacy H.S., TX Lubbock-Cooper H.S., TX Midland H.S., TX Pecos H.S., TX San Angelo Central H.S., TX ---------- Everyone Else (15-22): Abilene Wylie H.S., TX Andrews H.S., TX Greenwood H.S., TX Odessa H.S., TX Randall H.S., TX ---------- Stanton H.S., TX TLCA H.S., TX Tulia H.S., TX
A: Pecos H.S., TX (if still in A, otherwise, Greenwood) AA: Loveland H.S., CO AAA: Robert E. Hendrickson H.S., TX AAAA: Mustang H.S., OK

Wow, I didn't realize Mustang was doing 2 Texas regionals. And I remember them doing a local contest in dfw a few years ago too. I think the Birdville Marching Invitational? Can't wait!

Midland is now on the 12 minute schedule and starting much earlier. As a moderator, I updated yayband914 's post with new times.

I think the upper tier of this competition got harder to predict after this weekend. Mustang lost GE at the local Deer Creek contest this weekend, Hendrickson missed finals (barely and at probably the most competitive regional of the season), and Clovis also did not win as most predicted (and pretty decisively below Richland). I think it really could be anyone's win.
Of course, I am rooting for Mustang (I would love for them to get their first regional victory!), but I think right now it is probably Hendrickson's to lose. I will be sure to post my predictions later this week.

Based on Hendricksons performance at BOA Austin, its gonna be tough for them to be a top 5 finalist. They had lots of amazing hits and I love their flugelhorn soloist, their trumpet quartet is good but kind of boring and extremely out of tune due to the fact that its 100 degrees outside. I am excited to see lots of improvements by them at this Regional!

Loveland seemed about the same as they were last year to me at Legacy. Love the uniforms and the whole visual look is pretty great and current.
However their sound is still very puzzling to me. They don’t overplay by any stretch, but there are just a lot of inconsistencies in the sound from player to player. Maybe they clean up more later season than late September. Which makes me wonder why they go to so many early BOA events. Me thinks they’d maybe do better at later shows.
The package is nice and should do well, just inconsistency in performance captions is my only gripe.

Midland is now on the 12 minute schedule and starting much earlier. As a moderator, I updated yayband914 's post with new times. Because of this will schools need to not perform parts of the show? 12 seems pretty tight with the announcement and set up time plus an 8 minute show?

At the early season regionals, very few bands have a full show on the field. If any particular band had an issue with the 12 minute blocks, they would have raised that concern to MFA.

I'm a marcher at Loveland and here's what I know: - The shortened performance times are a heat precaution, the UV index is expected to be 8+ with highs of ~90°F, and from ~3:00PM til 6:30PM there are no activities until the stadium reopens.
- Our band director emailed the person in charge and had it confirmed to him twice that NO penalties will be assessed during prelims for exceeding the 12 minute window (we would have issues with a 12 minute block)
- Finals is using a 15 minute schedule

Final predictions!
Henny will be hunnggggrrrryyyyy after this past weekend. Best not to underestimate them, methinks. They could flip flop with Clovis, but I still think they’ll medal.
If not Pecos for 12th, then I hope Lubbock-Cooper is finally able to squeeze in after a couple close calls since 2018.
Best of skill to all!
