There are four standstill divisions- Silver 1, Red 1, Silver 2, and Red 2. As far as the 1 and 2 go, it is just that- 1 is for more advanced drumlines, and 2 is for less experienced drumlines. The Silver 1 and Red 1 (more advanced) drumlines compete in the stadium, and the Silver 2 and Red 2 groups compete indoor. Directors can choose whether to compete in 1 or 2. Silver and red, however, are not at the disgression of the director. Red classification is for drumlines with less than 20 members, and silver is for drumlines with twenty or more members. For example, John Horn competed in Red 1 for the last several years, but is now larger, and is competing in silver 1 this year. -
It's coming up in thirteen days, so I wanted to bring it up- what are you thinking is going to happen up at Marcus? Predictions, opinions, anything. Here is the preliminary schedule for the competition- http://portal.marcuspercussion.com/portal/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Bze2KEQgJ4s%3d&tabid=110 Here are the judges (quality, as usual)- http://portal.marcuspercussion.com/portal/LoneStar/LoneStarJudges/tabid/98/Default.aspx Let the discussion begin! I know that standstill silver 1 should be interesting, with defending champion Round Rock gone for BOA, defending Red 1 champion John Horn moving up to Silver 1, and a lot of the Area D powerhouses attending this year.

Didn't mean they were a surprise for finals, I still expected them to make it, I just wasn't as sure of them as I was of, say, Cedar Park. When I said I was surprised, I meant I was surprised that they qualified for states- sorry for not being clear. They did have a very difficult and well-executed show.

http://www.uilmusicregion18.com/pdfs/2013_AreaD_4A_Results_Prelims.pdf http://www.uilmusicregion18.com/pdfs/2013_AreaD_4A_Results_Finals.pdf We didn't get back to the stadium until the last third of the groups, and Seguin didn't make finals either, so that was all we got to see. However, Vandegrift clearly the best we saw in prelims, with CP a close second. Biggest surprise for us was Connally- we weren't honestly even sure they would make finals. Very tough competition, congrats to everyone.
