The 2017 Texas Marching Classic will be held Oct. 14 at Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex. In 2016, Cedar Park narrowly beat Vandegrift by a tenth of a point.

Analysis
Just one week after the Conroe Regional, Ronald Reagan and Vandegrift will face off head-to-head again, this time at the Texas Marching Classic in Austin. Twenty-two bands will compete at this independently-operated regional-caliber event.

Behind Reagan and Vandy, we expect to see Hendrickson. Hendrickson competed alongside Vandegrift at both the Austin and Conroe regionals earlier this season, earning seventh place at Austin and sixth place at Conroe.

We expect to see Pflugerville and Lake Travis rounding out the top half. Both groups were close to making finals at the Austin Regional earlier this season. These two bands are also returning finalists from the 2016 TMC. Lake Travis had the upper hand at Austin, but Pflugerville has so much potential with their sound. It could really go either way.

Beyond the top half of finals, a slate of new and returning bands will compete for the remaining spots.
