Wait is this our first reveal of BAs show title? Are finally getting our last part of the trilogy?? After finally arriving at the edge of eternity they fell over into a timeless journey. Will they ever make it out?

Wait is this our first reveal of BAs show title? Are finally getting our last part of the trilogy?? As far as I know this will be separate from the Past 2 BA shows. The reason they did a sequel to Edge of Eternity was because they won grand nats so that’s their typical go to when they do win, to do a sequel. This year will be independent however from that. Excited to see though what “Timeless Journey” entails

I will go on the record and say this: Mustang was the only band that had full uniforms on in prelims. You can’t just say “they looked sloppy” without taking that into consideration. Those kids were hotter and a little more exhausted than their competitors, and I think it’s unfair to knock them down in ratings because of it. And its Mustang. Anyone who’s been around the Oklahoma band world knows that they don’t focus cleaning until October, at least not really. I do not believe they’re going to fall off of the podium. My predictions for OBA top 5 stand at this. (1-2) BA (1-3) Mustang (2-4) Bixby (3-5) Jenks (3-5) Yukon

My predictions for OBA top 5 stand at this. (1-2) BA (1-3) Mustang (2-4) Bixby (3-5) Jenks (3-5) Yukon Definetely a valid take, but I based my rankings from their finals performance for those reasons because nearly any prelims performance in an Oklahoma Contest doesn't really show a groups full potential, but yeah those were my thoughts because of their finals performance. I do believe Mustang could be just as dominant as they've been but compared to 2021 when we saw them in a competitive performance this early in the season, with Shark World, at Deer Creek that season, they seemed more clean with that than they are now. Again though Mustang may definetely get up to #2 for me again but I need to see some serious progress for the ensemble this week before Midland, and the weeks leading up to OBA. Mustang's not in a bad spot however by any means.

I enjoyed BA's show! The show title seems very...BA... which I love! They seem to have less show on the field then many others at this point, and it does make me wonder how that will affect their season. I have no reason to doubt that they will be successful this year as they always are!
Mustang is one of my fav OK groups. Always such fun productions. I agree that, while the Deer Creek results surprised me some, that there is a LONG season between now and OBA. They have their whole show on and they did sweep prelims. I think with all this time to clean, they will be a force to be reckoned with come late October.
Edmond Memorial is holding their own! With them stealing GE from Mustang in finals, I think they may be a bit ahead of the pack for that 12th place in OBA finals, but again, we have a lot of season left. Plus, these local contests do have some variability in results (Union getting 10th at Mustang and then 9th at the more competitive OBA later in the season). Gonna be an interesting group to watch!
Woodward in 4th is very interesting! Like I mentioned last week, they had their whole show on (it seems) at Moore, so they have time to clean clean clean before OBA. Obviously, they are getting some work DONE! Great job!
So much Yukon hype going on. I am excited to see a more recent video of their show.
Still think Deer Creek is a dark horse for the Indy SR. They are so good! Their show with all the props covered and the unis on is something else!
Bixby is looking good! I enjoyed the video from their football game this week. I think the show is a solid Indy finalist, but I am not *sure* that they will be winning Owasso yet........guess we will see. But they have, as usual, such a creative and entertaining show.
Sapulpa is looking good! I am pretty impressed by the video I saw from their football game. I think they've got finals in them at the Arizona regional, and they are definite contenders for the 5A championship.
I'll be posting Owasso predictions in that thread sometime this week. It's going to be a tough one to predict!

Really excited for the competitive season to keep on chugging! Deer Creek Invitational really changed where I think bands will shake up come OBA, but it’s also September 24th so we’ve got a lot of time for some other band to come out of the woodwork!
Anyway here are my updated predictions (and projected scores) for OBA
1) Broken Arrow: 91-94
Still the same Broken Arrow we all know and love just with a slightly scaled back program from what I can see. Recordings don’t tend to do them justice so I’ll be really interested in seeing them live as soon as I’m able to!
2) Bixby: 90-92
Bixby seems to be carrying on with the same momentum they had after madness, which bodes very well for them this season! I like what I’ve seen of their show so far, and I’m excited to see how much cleaner it will be at the Owasso invitational!
3) Mustang: 89-92
Kind of a toss up between Mustang and Jenks right now for me. I’m not in any way dissatisfied with their performance last night, I’m sure they’ve been working very hard to get all of their show on the field, and so it’s not very clean yet, but I’m sure with time it’ll get there!
4) Jenks: 89-92
I like their show, but I don’t think it’s up to par with of time. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong later in the season, or when I get to watch them live. But for the time being I’m going to put them just below mustang. I do hope we have at least four bands break 90 this year at OBA!
5) Edmond Santa Fe: 86-90
Call me crazy but I really thing ESF could pull up with the big boys this year! They are really clean, and have a pretty engaging show with a solid sound. Really really excited to see if they can continue to push this year!
6) Owasso: 85-89
It hurts my soul to see Owasso below 5th, but the competition this year is absolutely stacked! I’m sure their showing at OBA will be impressive like always, and to be honest I could see any of the 5-9 bands being at any of these rankings.
7) Yukon: 84-88
I’m very scared about Yukon, as we haven’t seen anything from them in a hot minute. I know their invitational is coming up so I’m sure we’ll get a better picture of where they are then! I hope they’ve used this gap to clean their show significantly. Their placement may change depending, we’ll have to wait and see.
8) Deer Creek: 84-87
I LOVE THEIR SHOW! It felt very Edge of Eternity, which is not a bad thing. Also they share the same ballad music as Yukon which I thought was funny. Really solid performance last night, and I think they’re going to be a menace in the rankings this year. I’m putting them down as an Indy lock for the time being!
9) Union: 83-86
You just can’t beat the dice man! They’re trying to rebuild and come back in the most competitive time of Oklahoma band history! It will be very very hard for them, but I’m confident they could shake out higher in the rankings. Their show is very nice, and I do enjoy watching it!
10) Southmoore: 83-85
I love their sound, and I think they got even bigger since last year which is didn’t think was possible 😂! But the competition is just so steep, like many other bands I think their placement is not indicative of the quality of their performance! Definitely a contender for Indy as well!
11) Edmond Memorial: 82-85
They’re GOOD! I love their show, very visually interesting with the props, and boy oh boy do they have a lot of props this year! Very nice sonority in their sound, and just a fun show! I’m really excited to see them again!
12) Choctaw: 81-83
Again, I need to see a more recent recording before I move them around too much! But from what I have seen they are a pretty solid finals pick in my mind!

We are officially less than a week away from Weekend #3 of the Oklahoma contest season! This weekend starts some of the larger and more well known contests in our state, which means even more bands are getting in on the action! Having said that, that means it's time for my predictions for the Yukon Invitational this Saturday! Look for my predictions for Owasso over on that thread.
1. Deer Creek 2. Piedmont 3. Edmond North 4. Carl Albert 5. McAlester 6. PC North 7. Norman North 8. Berryhill 9. Blanchard 10. Woodward 11. Tuttle 12. Newcastle
Music- Deer Creek Visual- Piedmont GE- Deer Creek
This contest seems like the results would be cut and dried if you had asked me what I thought two weeks ago. I still think it's between Deer Creek, Piedmont, and Edmond North for the title, but all the other rankings have been shaken up by the past couple contests! Especially with Woodward and Blanchard doing as well as they are. This contest will certainly be one to watch, especially among the smaller schools who are inching closer and closer to OBA. Defending champion Piedmont will look to make two wins in a row here, but I think Deer Creek might have them beat here as I am absolutely loving where they are at right now. Winning here could mean good omens for them when it comes their chances of finals at Indy. Edmond North could also make some moves here, but as always, only time will tell. Sadly, I'll only be able to make the first block of prelims on Saturday, but make no mistake, I'll anxiously be awaiting the results!

They are performing twice, once at 10am and once around 9:30pm.

VERY EARLY OBA PREDICTIONS: 1. BA 2. Mustang 3. Jenks 4. Bixby 5. Owasso 6. Union 7. Yukon 8. Santa Fe 9. Southmoore 10. Edmond Memorial 11. Deer Creek 12. Edmond North Very surprised to see so many people putting Yukon so high, I am ver excited to see their show. Having seen both Union and Santa Fe shows, I believe that Union is slightly ahead at this point. Edmond Memorial grabbing GE from Mustang was very impressive, their show definitely has a lot of potential and I could see them finishing as high as 8th. Bixby could finish higher than 4th, maybe even 2nd, but they do have a lot of cleaning to do. Edmond North keep making finals against everyones predictions, but this year I cannot see them finishing higher than 11th.

Yukon has a really cool show product this year to offer, it will be cool to see whether they can capitalize on the nice design, and really cool props they have this season!

Yukon Invitational Predictions1. Deer Creek H.S., OK 2. Edmond North H.S., OK 3. Piedmont H.S., OK 4. Norman North H.S., OK 5. Blanchard H.S., OK 6. Carl Albert H.S., OK 7. Putnam City North H.S., OK 8. Woodward H.S., OK 9. Tuttle H.S., OK 10. Weatherford H.S., OK 11. McAlester H.S., OK 12. Putnam City West H.S., OK 13. Berryhill H.S., OK 14. Putnam City H.S., OK 15. Newcastle H.S., OK Music- Deer Creek H.S., OK Visual- Deer Creek H.S., OK GE- Deer Creek H.S., OK This thing is so hard to predict. These early season contests can go any which way, but here is where I think things could land based on limited info, videos, and previous results. I think Deer Creek will win, and I think it may be a somewhat decisive win. Piedmont is a solid pick for second, but I am putting them in 3rd just since it is hard to say how new director transitions will go. They could come in and blow everyone else away too, so who knows! Edmond North is solid this year so I could see them pulling out 2-4. Everyone else is EXTRA hard to predict, but I did my best. I think Norman North may do pretty well, and I am interested to see how bands like Woodward, Weatherford, and Berryhill do. Hope you enjoy! It is going to be a fun contest

Then we have to assemble. We may have some of them Saturday or we may wait until Renegade when we have everything.

Made it to the stadium just in time to watch Yukon’s exhibition performance, and I’m glad I did! It’s so much better live, and I love the light props and the unis! That show is gonna be a monster come OBA.

Excited to hear how Piedmont and Deer Creek do! My dad got hired as Piedmont's new superintendent, so I am definitely rooting for them!

The uniforms turned out nicely. And they had a bit more show on the field than I thought they would. Excited to see how they stack up against Deer Creek and Edmond North. Also, I had no idea you were related to the new superintendent! Small world!
