Another twist: Birdville placed higher than seguin in finals at Aledo.

 

I feel for yall at Southwest, its a shame the uil judges didn't let a good band advance.

Good luck to Centennial and the rest of Area B in the contest on Saturday, I have a feeling it is going to be a long day...

 

Anybody know what area Azle and Saginaw are in? They beat both Seguin and Birdville at our contest.

Oh yeah, I forgot about finals.

 

Anyway, thanks. One judge wanted us to have another chance. One judge thought we were pretty good and that our show had a lot of potential but still gave us a two. It was impossible to tell that he was going to give us a two throughout the entire tape until the last sentence, "Really good but I had expected more out of Southwest High School." The last judge was smoking something during our performance. He was telling us to tune base drums in the middle of a keyboard solo. He also thought some of our dissonant parts were wrong notes. Oh well, the two brings us back down to reality. It'll make us work harder next season. Hopefully.

 

As for Azle and Saginaw. I don't know what Area, but I do know they're good. I think Saginaw can make a serious run at State finals.

Saginaw and Azle are in Area A. Saginaw seems to have come out of nowhere, but I really think they're going to make it to state this year, especially since Area A has 4 slots.

For the most part, I will simply state this about predicting who will go on... wait and see. :)

 

Oh, another thing - they should really, really consider applying basic rounding skills to UIL state advancement policies. :lol:

I concur. Nineteen bands would be too close to twenty for only three to advance.

Bad news for Area C. Pine Tree has pulled out so only 2 bands will advance. I have no idea why all the military bands are revolting against UIL but this is ridiculous. 19 bands in this area made a first division, but now only two advance to state........

Yeah our band was a little upset today...I don't like the way the number of bands going to state is decided...They need to rethink their logic and create a better way.

actually ive just heard from our band director one band is deciding not to go so there are 3 slots, and i dont think saginaw really has a chance at making state but we'll see.

That really sucks about Area C.

 

On another note, if anyone wants to name the number of bands advancing from each Area and the top bands from each area. I would do this myself but I've got too much homework and not enough time.

Does anyone know why Nederland isn't on the Area F area schedule?

 

They aren't coming, which seems to be the case with a lot of military bands in the state. I'm disappointed we won't get to see them though. It would have been interesting to see them march after they made Honor Band finals.

I agree with the top 8. I would have to rank Western Hills 9 and I'm not too sure about 10. Either Heights or Stephenville.
