As a new season of Forensics begins, competitors and coaches and enthusiasts alike are all preparing for this year's batch of excellent performances.  Who are the performers to watch?  Which pieces will succeed?  It is all unknown currently, but that is part of the fun of a new, fresh season.  Guessing and watching competitors grow.
