2025 BOA Prosper (Oct. 11)

Lebanon Trail will be attending. Confirmed via Music for All website. -
Sachse’s new assistant was announced this morning: Ryan King, previously with North Forney HS.
-
Sachse was a program that for almost twenty years was in the state bubble, but could never take the next step. With two recent state appearances, that narrative has changed, and now they have a very decorated director leading the fort. I don't think they will have a hard time finding a good replacement. And with the level of talent coming up from their feeder middle school these next couple of years, I think this program isn't going anywhere, and is here to stay as a consistent state qualifier in both the marching and concert band worlds.

Yeah, Region 25 split up their contests. 6A and the Plano NVs are on October 11, 2A/3A/4A is October 15, and 5A is October 18. The 3A bands in this region get two weekends before Area. -

I am curious about the music selections for this one - this could be a fun show! -

I'm surprised Wylie still has this on their calendar - Region 25 6A contest is the same day (October 11). -
2026-2027 UIL Realignment
BugWub24 replied to dfwhorn's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
Waxahachie ISD a few months back announced a second high school — Waxahachie Creek — to be opening in 2027. Could also make things interesting on how they will split the student body. -

2026-2027 UIL Realignment
BugWub24 replied to dfwhorn's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
That was my first thought as well - bring back 25 to C - but unfortunately the same problem previously mentioned would arise in J, but would be much worse. McKinney North and Reedy could help get them back above 15 bands, but that still would only be three bands advancing to state in that scenario. That prevents even Prosper from making state. It'll be interesting for sure to see what TMEA/UIL does if multiple schools in the same area drop below the 6A cutoff. -

6A Area C would need another region if this were to happen. Worst case scenario would be that they could fall under 15 bands that qualify for area - nightmare scenarios for Sachse, Duncanville, and Rockwall among the rest of the bunch. 5A Area B could be very interesting with those additions. A band I would like to add to the list is Walnut Grove - they will definitely be moving up to 6A in the next realignment. -
I’m also under the impression that both schools will be just fine. Good foundations and principles go a long way. Regarding Sachse, SharksAreCool said it the best; the transition from 4A to 6A could “elevate his style.” I think it’s very likely this the case. Nall’s work jumpstarting the West Plains program has proven that he is the real deal, and now he has the resources and tools of a strong 6A program. I do also think they need to start consistently putting out great shows like this year and 2021, but I’m confident that will be taken care of with a new face in the program.

Justin Bell, current assistant director for Waxahachie, will be promoted to the head director role.
