LKendrick Posted Sunday at 10:20 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:20 PM Also if you're a student or parent of a student in a band and post on here, your directors might read this and it can give your band a bad reputation. Think before you post. TexasStrangers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Spring’s music was VERY well done in finals, but i can’t speak for prelims. wasn’t even sitting on the 50 yard line and I could hear them crystal clear. sounded very clean to me.

Just because a band didn't do as well as you wanted doesn't mean you get to come on here and spread baseless and silly misinformation. Area notoriously produces crazy results every year. It's no surprise. Keeping an eye on this topic....... A small little town has a of culture. More than a big city.

BandGMA Posted Sunday at 10:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:40 PM Question: Need a little help understanding. Our area here had 28 schools make area so 10 go to finals and 5 (1 per every five schools) move into state. So Area C had 24 schools make area with 12 going to finals and 7 move on to state. I know UIL states if a school gets lower than 10th place but receives at least a 3 or better from 2 music judges and 1 visual they go to finals but no schools had that. What am I missing. Couldn’t find any clarification looking at the UIL rules. just.me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t find any clarification looking at the UIL rules. Area C has numerous schools that are military schools. So if a military school advances at the Regional Level then they automatically skip Area and advance straight to the State Military Marching Contest but their spot still counts at Area. I believe Area C has 36 schools qualify for Area but 12 were Military Schools and got to skip Area. However, their spot still counts in Area advancement, hence the reason Area C got to send 7 schools to State. Area C has many military schools in 4A/3A/2A where as Area B only has a few.

However, military bands can decide to go straight to state and not compete in the open class. They can decide to compete in the open class but they usually don't do really good so they choose to go straight to state yet their certification allows more bands to qualify for state.

Confusing but interesting. Is there a list of military schools anywhere ? I found the list of 4A military schools. So wow. There were 16 military bands for 4A and all of them came from regions in Area C. Now I understand it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many of then it's their only opportunity and it means everything to them. Sometimes it's easy to spot bias in the judges rankings and when that happens, it really hits to the directors, parents, and especially student who feel unjustified and miss judged. As much as one wants their band to win, I've seen upclose how much they bring eachother up on the field before and after results get announced, and seeing a fellow band get placed in a position that appears unjust just sucks. Obviously every band worked hard and every band wants to advanced, so feelings will always be high. I personally hate saying a band shouldn't be placed where they ended up whether I think they should be higher or lower, and I'm sure everybody on here does as well. We can only hope for the best and trust the judges are being as unbiased and fair as possible. Needless to say, congrats to all the bands and hopefully they all work hard to make the best of the opportunity they were given. txsdrum16, Band08, bassclarinetplayer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they split off the military bands Area C was always dominated by the military bands in 3A particularly. Some really good corp band in the early 2000s could not get out of area because it’s hard to compete against the precision of a military band. Giving them their own state contest was the best solution. When people don’t understand the system, it looks like area c sends an inflated number of bands. The military bands could compete in area, they just elect to do their own thing. BandGMA and Tubaplaya2011 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, since they split the military bands I don't recall any of them wanting to compete in Area because most of the time regardless of good they perform they would never earn enough points to beat a decent open show band. Show bands are judged on a different scale and have more opportunities to earn points. BandGMA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, y’all had a better run at the game, however, Saddle Up was a fun show to watch and I can’t wait to see what y’all come up with next season!
