Fiesta Bowl Predictions
Any predictions for the upcoming fiesta bowl? field or parade.
Re: Fiesta Bowl Predictions
This will be a slam dunk for the two CA Bands. They will go 1 & 2 in both the Field and Parade. The other Bands entered are not of championship quality at all. Chino NO. 1 on the field, & King No.1 on the street. These two Bands are far ahead of a really week selection of Bands this year.

Re: Fiesta Bowl Predictions
Sandra Day O'Connor H.S. from Helotes, TX might push Chino on the field a little. But I agree: Chino is the field favorite, and King and Chino should be way out in front on the parade.
Re: Fiesta Bowl Predictions
I agree also. King will take street while Chino will take field.
Re: Fiesta Bowl Predictions
The O'Connor Band participating this year is from Phoenix, AZ. The Band from TX with the same name would probably be a strong second place in field behind Chino. Their is a big difference in size and strength of competition.

Re: Fiesta Bowl Predictions
I would like to give a shout out congrats to both Chino and Riverside King for making it a California sweep for the Fiesta Bowl field and parade. Both groups set records. Chino being the only group in the 34 year history to win the National Band Championship 3 straight times and for Riverside King in winning the Fiesta Bowl Parade 4 straight apperences. California is doing something right with both these great groups continuing there streaks. Again congrats and Happy New Year to everyone. 

Re: Fiesta Bowl Predictions
Congrats to both Chino and Riverside King. You both make me so proud! Spectacular SoCal representatives at this ever-more-popular annual national marching band competition. Even more impressive since these judges are not from SCSBOA or even from Southern California. Those scores are awesome!

Re: Fiesta Bowl Predictions
From someone who has spent time with both of these groups, I just want to say I was proud to be from Southern California. These groups represented themselves and all of us here in So Cal extremely well. Congrats on sharing the National Titles King and Chino!!!
