Top 32 Rankings — Oct. 15, 2019 (Week 5)

Discuss these rankings on our forums.

Broken Arrow's competitive premiere in Orlando this weekend was quite a success, outscoring Tarpon Springs and Wando. With the St. Louis Super Regional happening this weekend, we'll see BA compete against a huge line up of bands from all over the Central U.S. — as far south as Texas and as far north as Minnesota.

While not a BOA event, the Texas Marching Classic gave us some of the most exciting results this week. Ronald Reagan's win over Vandegrift and Leander, pushed them to the top spot of the rankings. Rouse's impressive jump over Cedar Park earned the Rouse Band a spot on the rankings, their first time ever. Rouse was previously included in the Next 10.

Johnson City gave us an interesting result. While Dobyns-Bennett won prelims, Lafayette managed to snag the win in finals, their first regional victory in decades. That was enough to earn them a spot on the rankings and shifted DB back a couple of spots.

At the Midland Regional, Vista Ridge earned an expected decisive victory, keeping them toward the top of the rankings. Their next opportunity to impress is the San Antonio Super Regional, where they'll face the toughest line up of any regional all season.
