If you really want to spend time reading

 here’s the 5-judge system (used at Area)

Here’s the 7-judge system (used for state for 5A/6A)

https://www.uiltexas.org/files/music/UIL_5A-6A_State_Judge_Manual_(7-judge).pdf

 

If you want to go even deeper, the videos that show UIL  training judges how to apply the new system are also available. It's not intended for the casually interested as it will require a serious commitment of time and focus to complete. But they are highly informative. 

(Sorry, but it's too late to go searching for the video links tonight. I'll try to find them again and post links tomorrow...)

How is State performance order determined? I know they spread out the bands from different Areas pretty evenly, but is it random, or do bands pick a number to determine the order, or something else? 

Just wondering how they will assign the performance times for the Area C bands. 

Will let you know when we get down there! ;)

There are essentially two different random-choice events. Prior to Area weekend, the UIL State office will conduct a random draw for each performance time being assigned to one of the ten areas. After Area finals (or prelims, in some cases), the advancing directors pick one of those randomly pre-assigned times. 

Area C has been assigned 8:30 AM, 1:45 PM, 7:00 PM, and 8:30 PM. The four advancing directors will have a blind-draw for those randomly pre-assigned performance times.

Thanks for the info. Is there a link somewhere to the current drawl?

Ok, but in return you have to fit Rockwall into your top 4. That’s how fair trade works on election day. Lol

Oh, I thought it was gonna be a literal list of the 6A Area C bands and their draw numbers so we might see when the potential finalists end up performing. I did see the schedule already, but thanks! 

Rockwall is in my top 5… does that count? Lol.
