We've officially reached the week of this iconic Oklahoma contest! Here are my predictions for where things may shake up here this weekend:
1. Bixby 2. Jenks 3. Edmond Santa Fe 4. Union 5. Bentonville West 6. Choctaw 7. Fayetteville 8. Coweta 9. Collinsville 10. Stillwater 11. Sapulpa 12. Tahlequah
Music- Jenks Visual- Bixby GE- Bixby
It's safe to say I think this is Bixby's to lose, but I also haven't seen much from Jenks or Edmond Santa Fe this year. With a good enough run, I could see either of those two sneaking up on Bixby, though it's worth noting that their show is STRONG. Among the bottom half, I can see Coweta and Collinsville duking it out for their respective placements, though Sapulpa does have BOA coming up, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them sneak up here. Overall, this one seems cut and dried, but I feel we could see a few surprises here.

We are 4 days out so here are my predictions:
1. Bixby 2. Jenks 3. Edmond Santa Fe 4. Union 5. Choctaw 6. Bentonville West 7. Collinsville 8. Fayetteville 9. Sapulpa 10. Coweta 11. Sherman 12. Stillwater
Music - Bixby Visual - Bixby GE - Bixby
I believe that the top 4 are locked in but anything below that is really a mixed bag this year. I’m ready for Sapulpa to pleasantly surprise me this year, as I assume they are aiming for that OBA championship title. This competition will truly be the one to set the stage for the year and I am excited for how this turns out!

Warning: These predictions are for fun, as it is early season, anything can happen at this competition and majority of the groups haven't finished their production.
1) Bixby 2) Union 3) Jenks 4) Edmond SF 5) Bentonville West 6) Fayetteville 7) Choctaw 8) Sapulpa 9) Collinsville 10) Coweta 11) Stillwater 12) Sherman
Honestly everything down to the Captions is up in the air here. Also I can safely bet that Bixby will have the most show on the field.

I almost feel like out of the top groups, ESF will have the most on, but I guess we’ll find out!

I haven't seen a ton from them this season, but with the move to Cartwright, I expect GE will start to be a strength of theirs. Plus, their new directors are from BA, so teaching Cartwright is what they know how to do best. But it really is hard to say this early in the season.

I believe we could be seeing more BOA regional participation from these two in the future, but competition season has only just started, so everything is subject to change... I love the anticipation.

Owasso Invitational Finals Predictions
1. Jenks H.S., OK 2. Bixby H.S., OK 3. Edmond Santa Fe H.S., OK 4. Union H.S., OK 5. Choctaw H.S., OK 6. Fayetteville H.S., OK 7. Bentonville West H.S., AR 8. Collinsville H.S., OK 9. Coweta H.S., OK 10. Sherman H.S., TX 11. Sapulpa H.S., OK 12. Stillwater H.S., OK

Alrighty, here are my finals predictions for the 2023 Owasso Invitational! I am so excited for this competition I can hardly stand it. I feel like the weekend of Owasso truly kicks off marching season in Oklahoma for some reason. Going to be so many amazing performances, but here are a few thoughts on my predictions.
GENUINELY could see Jenks, Bixby, or Edmond Santa Fe winning the whole thing. I really like what all 3 have put out there so far, so I am interested to see how things land. Bixby has consistently won this thing the last few years, so it is probably short-sighted of me to put them in 2nd. However, Jenks finished last season very strong, so I gave them some credit there. I also kind of hope Bixby *doesn't* win simply because I want their season to peak closer to Indy/OBA rather early in the season like they tend to do. Edmond Santa Fe is also such a wild card. They have consistently placed higher here every year so far, and they are now at a level where I think they play with the big dogs! Last year, they even beat Jenks here, so I am absolutely not counting them out.
Union is so much improved this year. I could see them medaling and I almost predicted them medaling but I just couldn't put them about the top 3. For now!
The rest is so hard to predict. I am on the Choctaw hype train this year, so I am hoping they come out and wow everyone! Fayetteville and Bentonville West are also wild cards. I could see both placing somewhat higher or far lower. Collinsville always SHOWS UP to this contest, so I expect this year will be no different. I think we will see improvement from Coweta, but how much improvement I am unsure of.
I also just don't see finals without Sherman, Sapulpa, and Stillwater, but I could be very wrong. Sapulpa is looking great this year, so they could easily place MUCH higher than I have them with a good run. Tahlequah got a new director this year, so I am afraid we may not see two performances from them again, but I would love to be proven wrong!
It's gonna be a fun day!

Listened to Owasso rehearse during the break. They’re sounding great. David Gorham (their previous director and arranger) is apparently arranging this year.

Coweta was excellent! They seem considerably smaller than they have in the past but still a nice production! Definitely can sense the Cartwright in their show, but it’s cool to see his work for a smaller group.
