UIL 6A Area F (2024)

[Ninelets]

I could be wrong, but I think that stopped after 2022 for Area F.  Otherwise why would they have a separate draw for Finals.

The information is here, https://uilregion21.org/uploads/cms/nav-24-670fe784b80fe.pdf. I'm guessing each half will be ordered by the finals draw order maybe...

1. Proposal to hold top half/bottom half pre-draw for area finals.

Recommendation: Implementation in Fall 2024

[BandKid08]

Has it been announced as confirmed being implemented this fall?

[BandKid08]

or only recommended

[clarinets74]

anyone have a video of the woodlands??

[Ninelets]

Seems implemented, but I only say that because their next meeting isn’t until December. And they say implementing in Fall. Shrug. Guess people will find out either way!

Did they have some technical difficulties or something, or did the directors not notice the clock and they started late? Either way it sucks to miss out on area over a few seconds.

I heard that the band started their performance late because the drum majors started after the 8 minute timer had started

tw performed their full show in costume after the homecoming game tonite. good hicam angle too, tho the sides are a little cut off.

kinda stunned by em again. they always pull it together circa UIL area. no exception this yr. so much more locked in musically and visually than i expected, except for those ugly block rotations + files near the start of the closer. really outstanding overall. still wish there was a bit more formal variety in the drill writing, more aesthetic appeal, fewer blocks and less fluttering. but that's the Vanderkolff way i guess.

[packwick]

also i wanna know once and for all if the intro is a preshow or not, bc it suuure does sound like one. night is falling, time to dream, which is when the show really begins, cause we in the Big Easy.

annoys me that i can never hear the bass synth thru these streams. always looks like the girl is dancing in silence lol.

You are correct, as usual, @packwick! The opening 40ish seconds is from the beginning of Wynton Marsalis’, “Home”.  It is a pre show, with the BOA announcement concluding immediately before Jaco Pastorious’ “Liberty City” (the first wind statement).

[TWHSPercDad]

By the way, I don’t think the musical selections for TWHS’ show have been mentioned anywhere. So in case anyone is interested:

Fantasia on Frenchman Street

• Liberty City - by Jaco Pastorious
• Invitation - by Bronislaw Kaper
• Interplay, for Piano Four-Hands and Orchestra - by David Gillingham
• Summertime, from the Opera “Porgy and Bess” - by George Gershwin
• Atchafalaya - by Snarky Puppy
• Home  - by Wynton Marsalis

It could be one of those things where they do top 5/bottom 5 but organize each of those two parts with the draw. 

 

[Tubalord11]

I'll take a stab at this one, not super familiar with most of these groups though. 

1st. The Woodlands 

2nd. College Park 

3rd. Klien Oak/North Shore Senior/Tomball Memorial 

4th. NSS/TM/KO

5th. TM/NSS/KO

6th. Klien Cain 

7th. Grand Oaks 

8th. Tomball 

9th. Spring 

10th. Oak Ridge 

 

Good luck to everyone competing here next weekend!!

So far all the showers have been short. Klein Oak started out with some moderate rain and by the end the sun was out. I only saw Conroe perform without electronics and they probably had the worst rain so far. I missed a few around lunch time but it’s been a good day for all so far. 

[gee5]

Biggest issue today? Probably the wind 😂😂😂

[homerchap]

Everyone got to perform in prelims with no delays
