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.
Early congratulations to Kiski Area for their inevitable landslide victory! The fight for the silver and bronze will be interesting -- I think we will see a repeat of last year, however. Green Level's 62nd place finish at Grand Nationals was... in my opinion, false. They were on the same panel that tanked Catawba Ridge to 48th (but that's a different matter). Green Level will do just fine here and should pretty handily walk away with a top 5 finish.
I will be curious to see how John P. Steven's director change affects them. Edison and Lambert should both do well here. Trumbull is still rebuilding from COVID, and they are small, but I think they have a chance to get back into finals after missing last season. I very much enjoyed seeing Cambridge at Orlando last season, where they barely missed finals, so I think they have a strong chance here with not as many bands. I think there will be a fair amount of groups fighting for the last couple of finals spots. I am not too familiar with the bands out east, so I don't feel too comfortable speculating. Looking forward to this one!
Congratulations!

Final predictions!
If you’re going to be at this show in person, cheer extra loudly for the New Jersey and Connecticut groups. Most of their competitive seasons have been washed out due to bad weather every weekend, and I know of a couple whose very first competition of the season will be THIS SHOW.
That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some unexpected results here.
Best of skill to all groups!

Some classification changes per CompetitionSuite:
Cambridge H.S., GA has moved from 3A to 2A. Independence H.S., VA has moved from 2A to 3A.
Not too much changes here. Independence should just snag the silver in 2A instead of 3A, while Cambridge now has an easy opportunity to medal in their class unlike previously.

They competed only in their home show on the Sept 30 they scored a 80.400. Overall Open Class: 1. 84.500: Norwalk - V 2. 83.100: Southington - V 3. 80.400: Trumbull - IV
