Band1234556 Posted October 20 Author Share Posted October 20 Looks like we got 7 from region 8 thats a very good sign although we probably wont be seeing any state qualifiers from that region they have the highest amount of area qualifiers, just need 5 from region 18 and we will get 5 state spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quenslays Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 its gonna be a real fight for the state spots between reagan, round rock, cedar ridge, dripping springs, james bowie, westwood, mcneil, and ctj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouseglazer1 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 my only locks for this area are reagan and cedar ridge, maybe round rock but the level of competition here is so intense that it could really be anybody’s game Austen and FaultLineBlues 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band1234556 Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 Coming from the previous years only reagan is a lock, you have to think back to the years prior where Boa competitions mean basically nothing, Dripping springs lost to cedar ridge by 7 places at Austin last year and beat the at area, it really just comes down to who wants it more in these next 2 weeks, good luck to everybody, may the best bands win. Bummer that we are not going to see some bands at Uil SMBC who had a shot at making finals, it is probably harder to make state in this area then it is to make finals at state, are we gonna see all 5 bands from this area in finals??? That would be so cool Zil and lost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that Bowie, Austin, Drip and Moe & Gene will advance. I really hope that Del Valle or Atkins gets a 1 so that we have 25 bands at Area D.

They are much stronger than last year's group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band1234556 Posted October 23 Author Share Posted October 23 cool thanks for clarifying, so stoked to see 5 spots and really cool to see Del Valle making it, if anybody can make it, go to Area d next Saturday, it will be such a great competition and having a big crowd will fire up every single band there AshTru9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oboeish20 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 FINAL: 26 Bands will compete in Prelims with the top 10 advancing to finals. Finals performance order will be determined by a top 5/bottom 5 split based off of prelims results. 5 bands will advance to the UIL State Marching Contest.

Area D does not send filler bands to state! There are more than 5 bands here that are state worthy for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubalord11 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Good luck in advance to everyone competing here. I personally think this is the most competitive 6A area this year. Only 5 spots, and honestly, Reagan is currently my only lock. Do I think Cedar Ridge is gonna make it, yes. Is it 100% guaranteed, absolutely not. Every band here is going to be fighting tooth and nail for state, it really is just mind blowing to me how many spots are open for grabs, with so many areas in 6A already having at least 2 or 3 bands that should be locks only only hauling a couple or even one spots left between so many bands, while finals here will be everyone equally competing for each spot. Good luck at there y’all, I’d absolutely be here if I could Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
