from 4A to 5A :

 

Vista Ridge - high probability, almost a "for sure"

 

Connally - probably or very, very close (depending on what the cut of number is for 5A this time)

 

Hendrickson - low possibilty

woo man. Realignment next week will put some of you guys right up in the threat for 5A state.

 

In the case of Fossil Ridge, they turned in 2145...the way I am looking at from several sources...thats awfully close.

 

We will see February 1st.

 

I will post realignments...if I skip school for this...at 9 AM

As I recall (from reading the releases of conferences every year), as well as my dad's recollection (did texas high school band for one year in the mid-'70s pre-boarding school), UIL usually defines the conferences so that the largest 4A school in the state is Highland Park; any schools larger are 5A.

 

So...anyone have attendance data for the Area D schools and Highland Park?

UIL basing thier class sizes off of one school is kind of rediculous, the real way they decide is

 

Conference AAAAA should consist of a minimum of 220 schools and a maximum of 245 schools participating

in football (depending on how many new schools there are next alignment period); Conferences AA through

AAAA should consist of a number of schools such that the enrollment ratio in grades 9-12 between the largest

school and the smallest school is approximately 2.0. There should be at least 200 schools each in Conferences

AA and AAAA. Conference A shall consist of all schools that are not in Conferences AA-AAAAA.

(as posted by the University Scholastic League)

 

Oh, and Connally is about 30 students under the old 5A cutoff, so everybody in our school is praying that the minimum number of students for 5A raises.

I was mostly kidding about the Highland Park thing...it's just that, for something like 20 years or so, the largest or second-largest school in 4A did end up being Highland Park...enough so that it was almost a layman's rule of thumb to find the cutoff for 5A by adding two to Highland Park's attendance (key word there being ALMOST

Yup, it would make Area B even more of a pain if they weren't. lol. I understand the concern.

 

They would have a real tough time with the bands in Area B but they should do just fine next year at area A. I'm glad that they are in AAAAA. I have enjoyed their shows for the past two years :]

And I think we have our first Watch Out post of the season...Awesome.

 

Stay tuned for my first Boom, Outta Here post of the season. It'll probably come in the Area thread in late October, as that is the point in the season when kids lose their minds and start talking about how great they think they are.

Haha, I seriously laughed when I read that.

That is the time when it starts getting really interesting.

 

They should have biannual UIL State Marching Contests. You could have that year round. ^_^

anyways, not to be a "home-er" but rowlett has been a really young band for the last couple of years, last year 3/4th of the band were underclassmen, they didnt do too bad for themselves. they have an extreamly strong and big junior class (this year). i wont be suprised to see them in finals next year at state...

 

 

i agree 110%

not to mention we (rowlett) got 5th in State Honors band recently. If we can

transfer that musicality to marching, we could totally COMPETE in state finals.

I'm sure Legacy will eventually get near the top.

It seems all the Mansfield schools are slowly climbing up.

It's a shame they're in such a tough area though.

 

 

No offense to any other areas of course, just saying if they were in another i'm one of them would advance.
