ANYONE KNOW WHEN RESULTS WILL BE POSTED

UIL Directors should be embarrassed. Istead of handling this correctly before area, they made the band kids go through this misery twice. I hope none of you kids ever have to face these idiots for a mionr mistake. I can't believe out taxes are paying these jokers.

I saw Waxahachie at Area. Their sound was very good and marching was clean, but I did not feel it had a high energy level or excitement to it. I would be shocked if they medaled, but expect them to be in contention

Has no one heard anything about the hearing Poteet had?

You are partially correct. Band is actually a graded class in high school.

Fridays decision was only as to whether they could perform at area. Monday is the day they rule on State entry or not

I also don't know if this was a grade issue or what. If it was grades, it would have only been a couple weeks since the six weeks period was over, but aagin I have not heard the exact violation..just assumed grades

Your logic is flawed. Your statement actually should be more supportive toward Poteet. It seems to me to be a much graver problem when the institution violates a know UIL order. Since the student was not enrolled in an extracurricular activity, it is possible he did not know it would cause a problem. We are talking about a teenager..remember.

Interesting to hear. We will have to wait and see/ Hope Area C has a good alternate just in case.

Great to hear that Poteet is now going to compete at area after all.

Got word that they do get to march now

I just received a text that Poteet is being allowed to march now

Good luck to all 4A participants. Now that Poteet is not performing at Area, that will make things even more of close competition for all.

In 2009 all the bands from Area C made the finals, so it is very possible to do

Poteet always has and always will give their best, but I think this is going to be a rebuilding year for them. They will have hard compettition in Area C, and it will be close as to whether they make it to state this year. I have followed them for years, so I sure hope they do.

It should be quite a contest. I feel Poteet is a bit down this year. They are very young this season, and are still learning. Should make it interesting

This will probably sound odd, because I was involved with the Poteet Band for 4 years, but I would not mind seeing Friendswood win it either. They have a quality program, and have come so close. They deserve to have their time soon. Dripping Springs is a quality program also. I think Poteet may be a bit down this year, but they will always give their best effort

Poteet HS has been to state every eligble year since the school opened around 1990. They made the finals every time but one, and have three golds and several silver and bronze finishes.

Poteet may have a rebuilding year coming. The only band director they have ever had is retiring this year. Hope they can land a good person to carry on their excellence.

Will definitely be interesting with Poteet having a new director this fall.

Why can't we get back to basics on marching band shows. It seems like everything now has to be a Broadway production. let's get back to good old precision marching without all the extra cheesy glitz.

There has been talk for years about what I think your news is. Let's wait and see.

All the bands sounded quite good musically. I was so pleasantly surprised to see Poteet take the Championship. The Pirate band is made up of least 60% freshmen and sophomores this year. Their directors have done a great job of teaching this young group of musicians. Looks like Wylie and Poteet will have some good contests in the future.
