This needs to be moved to the UIL: Upcoming Contests topic.

I have been wanting to start this conversation for a bit now as last year's results were not what everyone was thinking lol.

I'm just hoping 8 bands can advance to state this year. Last year was definitely full of surprises!

There was definitely lots of controversy last year on multiple occasions. Some of the big talking points I heard where

-is Lindale's stadium big enough for a competition like this?

-should the region 25 schools have the later prelims performance?

-Should region 25 even be in this area?

those where just a couple of many I heard

The stadium is definitely not a great venue for this contest by any stretch of the imagination. 
 

The region 25 move really sucked for those schools. Their travel time was more than doubled for most. The Denton stadium is definitely a better location. I live on the prosper/frisco line right down the road from Panther Creek. Panther Creek can be at the Denton venue in under 30 minutes. Celina and VA are right up the toll road and they had to go over two hours in the other direction. I understand that the boundary had to be drawn somewhere but this was silly.

I personally don't think the stadium is big enough. Especially with the number of bands that were there last year.

This is an odd question to answer because me personally, I would say no. Most region 10 bands have about 4 hours to travel to get to Lindale. I do think Region 25 and the other regions should have earlier slot times.

And my answer is, no not really.
