Can everyone post Honor Band results here? I know region listening are done…

I love Bridgeland's pre-show, it just puts everyone into a good mood.

Does anyone have a video of Menard? I am interested to see.

look in the Area E thread.

In regards to Dawson, I don’t normally get heated about results but to think that a bands season was cut short due to 1 judge’s decision to put them at the bottom of the barrel, while none of the other judges felt close to the bottom (one even saying they were at the very top) I think it is absolutely awful. I am not trying to take anything away from these bands (advancing to state or not) but it seems like UIL is. Area E has a history of poor ethics and overall unfair competitions, From Friendswood 2017 and Ridge Point 2021’s hard work being completely disregarded by a technicality resulting in a 2nd division rating over something the kids had no control over (even though all three judges from both situations awarded the bands with unanimous superior ratings), to the allowance of a judge (formally a director of bands at a school participating in the contest and who lives in the area) to give a band a 9th place vote when EVERY OTHER JUDGE GAVE THEM 1st place (Clements 2018) resulting in the band of which that judge formerly directed placing first. This year takes the cake however, the absolute chaos represented in the scores from Saturday potentially degraded 19/23 bands through the obvious biases and vastly different standards of excellence in the judging panel. We saw numbers like 1&13 given to a band using the same rubric (Clear Falls), also a band who won the visual caption in prelims barely making it into finals (Austin), to the worst case which was in finals where a band who has been consistently making state, sometimes even finals, was cheated out of their state performance by 1 ordinal point (Dawson). I am disappointed in UIL because kids should not be set up poorly like this, Congratulations to all of the bands who advanced, including my favorite, Brook, but even more Congratulations to the programs who didn’t and still are holding their heads high. p.s. don’t even think I didn’t notice the weird shadows in the draw order, that’s a whole other thread.

I have a video of my son’s school and Dawson’s. (If this offends anyone by posting it tell me but it is so late in the season)

Dawson scores confuse me

A joke.

Prelims Results: 1st Pearland 2nd Dickinson 3rd Clear Brook 4th Clements 5th Brazoswood 6th Dawson 7th Clear Falls 8th Clear Lake 9th Shadow Creek 10th Stephen F Austin

Pasadena memorial was good I liked it

But Johnson lol

Howard Middle School, aka a junior high band playing grade 5 lit and placing top 3 Tmea honor band

No penalty for Legacy, ordinals were: 7,10,6,10,9

This is their 2nd year, first year was non-competitive (2020)

I thought Uil events weren’t allowed on Sunday’s, am I making something up or is that a rule?

I’m not going pretend like I’m an anti-Uil person and I will say they made quite an improvement to the sheets at state I just wish they would do the same to area sheets. If you think about it, for music, 3 people with 3 very different backgrounds, experience, and opinions on how things should be done are asked to judge something using the same sheets, plus those sheets require soooooo much split attention of a judge. For instance they have to judge brass, woodwinds, percussion, balance, individual contribution and design at the same time. If those 3 judges were maybe split between some of those jobs it would allow them to evaluate each specific task better. Like I said, it got so much better at state.

It’s not the judges it’s the system guys, it just doesn’t seem right, having multiple different people put a score on the same scale just seems like the judges are bound for disagreement but ive always been a Mcallum supporter so I’m proud💅🏻

here we go again with area judging lol

So I looked into Townview center and it is one school BUILDING housing a few different magnet programs, so technically I believe it would count as varsity combined because they are combining magnet schools but it is only one shared band program.
