Didn't mean to suggest they did - but Legacy was a 5A school the last year the Area B contest was held - in other words, three of the four bands that pushed Aledo out were not in this contest last year.

 

I think you're thinking of Mansfield Timberview. Timberview went back down to 4A when Mansfield Legacy opened as a 4A.

[JagDad09]

No, Legacy opened as a 5A school in 2007. The band marched JV, sure, and the football team played a JV schedule. But the school was in District 4-5A. In the 2008 realignment, Legacy dropped to 4A.

 

Here is a link which clearly shows Legacy's volleyball team in the 5A playoffs in 2007=2008 season:

Please post a link that shows Legacy a 4A school for the 2007-2008 school year. Timberview was a 5A school that year as well.

In fact, go to this site:

 

http://www.uilforms.com/marchrptuilpublic.asp

 

Select "2007" -> "Region 5" -> "Region 5 Marchng - Mansfield ISD Stadium..." - click "Get Report"

 

About halfway down, you'll see Legacy clearly shown as a non-varisty 5A school.

Jagdad is right. I remember clearly at the 2007 UIL Region 5 contest Legacy marched as a 5A-Non Varsity band.

[JagDad09]

Someone said above Southwest wasn't in the 2007 Area B marching contest either. I don't know if that is true or not.

 

But if it is true, then yeah - all four bands advancing to State were not in this contest two years ago. Talk about crashing a party!

Yeah, we had gotten a division II at UIL two years ago. Really served as a wake up call for our band.

Since I started this diversion, I'll chime in again and say that I agree that Jagdad is correct, Legacy was designated 5a when it opened in '07, and the first year the band participated at UIL as a JV program. I had tried to point out only that Legacy was not an established 5a program.

 

Also, thanks to Jagdad and borchnork for their efforts keeping us updated on the performances at area B. Those of us there in the lot really appreciated and closely followed all that commentary.

Actually, as far as I know, all four of the bands that advanced weren't at the Area B contest two years ago.

 

Newman Smith was not at the contest because they were 5A that year.

They made AREA B Finals in 2007 but fell short and got alternate.

 

But Smith did host the contest for AREA B 4A contest two years ago.

Your welcome - I enjoyed doing it. I am not a marching professional like many on this site, but I was in band through college and played a little professionally before I realized it's too hard to make a living that way. Been watching marching bands for a LONG time....

 

I have to say the one band out of this contest I was tickled to death made it was Southwest. Dang, all they did was play their horns great and march great. I thought their size would be held against them (I'll admit it was in my rankings), but it wasn't by the judges that matter.

 

Good job Southwest!

Ha, thanks! We mention our size in rehearsal a lot. We were hurt in prelims because people freaked out and overplayed in order to be as loud as the other bands. Before finals, our director told us that we wouldn't be able to compete with the sound of the larger bands and that we would only win by playing the way we always do. That piece of advice was what really moved us up.
