has Area B ever not been at Pennington Field?

 

Very true. Some of these contest sites have been consistent for a number of years.

 

Props to Area G for landing The Alamodome for Area!!! That's going to be a great experience for all those kids.

Area B was at Standridge in Carrollton last year. I thought it was supposed to be there again? (I thought they changed sites every two years)

 

The Region 25 calendar shows that 5A Area B will be at Pennington Field. UIL does realign every four years but I don't believe there is a stipulation that an Area has to hold their contest as a certain site. Maybe there's an event scheduled for Standrige already.

I heard a rumor that State UIL wasn't going to be in the Alamodome this year. Is that true?

 

Haven't heard anything like that. The Alamodome website still shows UIL State Finals taking place on November 3rd and 4th.

If I recall correctly...

 

Last year, region 5 was at the MISD stadium. 2 years ago, region 5 was at Pennington Field and Area B was at Standridge Stadium.

 

I don't remember Area being at Pennington Field ever since i was in band...

 

But then again I've only been in band for 2 years.

Yeh, but I liked the road trip to McAllen 2 years ago.

 

But playing in a venue like the Alamodome is always fun too.

i remember two years ago for 3A we were at denton, got to admit area b for 3A is murder ground. our top 5 from that year got 5 of the top 9 spots

 

our area (area E) is the next strongest making our chances of advancing hard :-\

that will just make your band want to work that much harder and get that much better

 

and hopefully make it!

 

good luck :D

We're doing 120.

 

60 brass and 60 woodwinds.

 

awesome.

 

we finally got some new people after having 111 people last year on the field. (including pitt drumline and colorguard)

 

it was sad because last year even the 3A bands were bigger than us. haha

 

not that that stopped of from doing good.

It's just really hard to compete with large bands when you don't have the power they have. and everything sticks out 10000 times more in a small band.

 

But we got back up to 155 this year!

 

im excited :D

we marched 140 in 2006, the biggest train wreck ever lol

 

we marched 170 in 06? i think. and it went swell i guess. i mean we got 6th place in area B.

 

 

but holy crap! I jsut found out today we are only marching 80 winds this year out of lke 130 so im interested to see who is going to be marching and such.

 

we are going to be so small.

 

inclduing drumline and such we will have 117 performers on the field.

 

up from 111 last year
