2021 5A UIL SMBC (Nov. 1 & 2)

I agree, I think its going to come down to who puts the best Finals run together, and then the difference in UIL scoring vs BOA scoring. -
2021 5A UIL SMBC (Nov. 1 & 2)
propsquaddad replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Well, at area, Rouse beat Leander in both the prelims and finals. So I'm betting for a Cedar Park, Rouse, Leander or Highland Park top 3 for SMBC -

Rouse did it 2017 -
UIL 5A - Area H
propsquaddad replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
It's tough when you have a school district like Leander ISD that has 6 high schools, and 5 of them are ranked in the top 20 Nationally. The only way to even something like that out in the UIL system would be to split the school district between 2 areas and I'd don't think UIL can even do that. -
UIL 5A - Area H

Rouse got the prime prelim slot. I agree, Cedar Park, Leander, Rouse move on unless one of them completely falls apart. Glenn probably will finish 4th... -

So is the even money on Cedar Park, Leander, Rouse? -
2021 5A UIL SMBC (Nov. 1 & 2)
propsquaddad replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I think your pretty spot on. I have not seen Lone Star or Forney's show, However, Forney has a curse trying to make it to the finals at State. Highland Park is the BIG unknown here. -

I don't know the West Texas bands that well. Does anyone have an opinion on Lubbock-Cooper? I know they have a fairly decent Guard program. I believe they did well last year in the virtual WGI format. I just don't know anything about their band program. -
2021 5A UIL SMBC (Nov. 1 & 2)
propsquaddad replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Makes sense, they will probably get bumped up to 6A when the realignment happens at the end of this school year. -
2021 5A UIL SMBC (Nov. 1 & 2)
propsquaddad replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Is Weiss still a 5A school? I know in BOA they are now a class AAAA. I know the classifications are different, but most of the AAAA BOA schools are 6A UIL. -

propsquaddad replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
It is going to be a very interesting year for 5A UIL for sure. Right now I think the biggest unknown for 5A is Highland Park. Everyone sort of knows where everyone else stands at this point. However, Highland Park doesn't really compete outside of UIL so nobody really tracks them but they were REALLY good in 2019. -
2021 BOA Austin (Sept. 25)
propsquaddad replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I think it might still be a few years away.? We probably need to make finals in SA a couple times before Indy?? -
2021 BOA Austin (Sept. 25)
propsquaddad replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
These early season contests are really sort of a crap shot trying to make predictions. Rouse HS show is coming along really well. It's been kept pretty tightly under wraps so I'm not sure anyone has snuck any videos out of it. I'm going to guess that Rouse finishes higher than everyone is predicting. I'm really curious to see CTJ at BOA Austin. It blows my mind that they might have a full show ready this early. -

I'm curious to see how Cedar Park does this year with the director change. UIL 5A area H is so crazy competitive, how many area H bands will make it to state? -

After my daughter graduated in 2020, and a year of COVID, my son will be a Freshman at Rouse this year. Not to jinx anything, but we already made our hotel reservations for State. Looking forward to an awesome year. Rouse HS show reveal and mini camp at the end of the school year has everyone fired up. Its gonna be a good year! -
#teamtexas - 2021 Grand Nationals
propsquaddad replied to CTJBandPops's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I may be a little bias being from Leander ISD but I would expect Vista Ridge to both make finals and finish very high. Why would we expect anything less from a band from arguably the best marching band school district in the great state of Texas. -
It is going to be an awesome year for sure. not only with Vista/CTJ squaring off, but we cant forget Vandergrift and Ronald Reagan. Vandergrift is the "reigning" National Champion, Ronald Reagan beat them head to head I believe twice in 2019. It is going to be interesting to see how well all the programs recover. Even though most programs did some sort of marching show in 2020, you still have 2 years worth of students who don't have a lot of experience performing a full length, high level show. Rouse HS was one of the rising stars in 5A. Is COVID going to set the program back a couple of years? Only time will tell.

TMC 2 years ago was awesome, this line-up looks to be even better. UIL is going to be interesting this year as well. Can Vista Ridge regain the 6A championship? Can LISD (south) sweep the 5A medals? TMC and BOA Austin are early enough in the season that anything is possible. Personally, I cannot wait until the fall!!
