Just because records aren't posted on the UIL website does not mean that the contest did not exist. Roundrock HS won the first State Marching Contest in 1979. I was present at Memorial Stadium in Austin for this event. I personally directed a band at the SMC in the fall of 1980.

Duncanville first appeared at SMC in 1979; first placed in finals in 1984; has won three times (1986, 1990, 2002) and has been in the finals every time since 1988.

The weight of the percussion caption scores has favored bands like Poteet. When you look at the recaps from the PESH contest you will find that, more than once, the band with a majority of 1st place scores does not actually "win" the contest. But with their percussion scores, Marcus should win going away.

Duncanville also won Auxiliary in Prelims as well.
