exactly. and although being a smaller BAND in the big school classifications, 5A and 6A can really hurt you-we’ve seen multiple times that small bands can compete especially in 5A. Highland park up until they moved to 6a for example, they were the silver medalist in 2019!!! their band is probably HALF the size of Cedar Park. Another example is Roma- they regularly make state finals, and they are a 2A school in BOA. Argyle is making their way up to the top of UIL 5A as well and they are like a fraction of the size all the other top schools in area B 5a.
