I am not sure who will advance from Area E, here is who has a chance....

 

Langham Creek (Almost a lock)

Clements (Good Chance)

Cy-Fair

Stephen F. Austin

Cy-Creek

Cinco Ranch

 

Yes I know I did not give SFA as good of a chance as other schools, but based on several factors, this is what I think.

Area B has a long list of contenders. LD Bell, Richland, Haltom, Hebron, Martin, Marcus, Newman Smith, Plano East, Lewisville, among many others that I can't remember off the top of my head. It's going to be a bloodbath. I love it. I'm definitely going to be at the finals that night.

Not to mention Mansfield, Mansfield Summit, and Duncanville I believe.

Does any one know the Area F bands? I saw the list at the TMEA website... but I went to some of those bands websites (like woodlands, klein, etc) and they have a date set for the Area G contest...and im really confused... if anyone know for sure, thanks a bunch!!!

This rule is kind of interesting...I found it on the UIL website. Has anyone heard of this happening?

 

"In addition any band that receives a ranking of three or higher from two of the music judges and one of the marching judges will also advance to state."

 

This is in addition to the 5 bands who advance in an area of 25 bands, for example. So even though there are 25 bands, 6 or even 7 still have the possibility of advancing. I can see this happening in Area B since there is so much competition and the judges are more likely to be more sporadic in their scoring.

I believe that it was actually used in 2004, but I don't remember for whom.

 

The State Finals version of that rule was also used in 2000 causing there to be 8 bands in Finals instead of the normal (at the time) 7.

Has anyone seen the PESH show this year? I am part of the Band and we know the music is cool we just kinda think our show isn't the most exciting thing out there? Anyone out there seen it? If we show up we might have a shot at state!

i thought it was if you place 1st by two music and one marching that you would advance automatically. but idk

That is the rule in State Finals by which even if you don't have the lowest rank score you are still the State Champion.

 

This was utilized in 2003 for 1A.

Man...apparently a lot of people from down here don't like us very much. Somewhere online, there is a picture that someone uploaded of our school's logo....

rattler.gif

 

...and instead, it shows the logo with a sword through our rattler's head with the bottom reading "Sharyland must die!" I could understand this for a football rivalry maybe, but for marching band? Kind of intense, eh?

In Area B, don't count Colleyville Heritage out we have a really good chance of making the finals at Area, now wether or not we make state that is all in the hands of the judges. Looking at the block that we are in and the block right after us, I can pretty much tell you who will make state, most likely the 5 bands will come from these two blocks.

 

I'm not counting anyone out I'm just going off past years and my experience.

 

Good luck to everyone at Area!!

Lol, our old director called that the "LD Bell Rule". He hid his competitiveness most of the time, but every once in a while it came out, usually in very odd ways too.

Why would it be the "LD Bell Rule"? It has never been used in conjunction with Bell.
