2009 UIL State

[Xenon]

It's that time of the year again. The culmination of the season for many great bands throughout the state of Texas. This year, the 1A, 2A, and 4A classifications meet up at the Alamodome in San Antonio to give it their all in one last competition. I will be running the TxBLive Blog during the prelims of these competitions both today and tomorrow as well as bringing you results throughout the day.

1A Finalists in finals performance order:

 

Tolar

Somerville

Carlisle

Canadian

Forsan

Tenaha

Sundown

[takigan]

Hmm, didn't know Somerville was a 1A now. They made State as 2A a few years back, guess it would make sense they'd be 1A finalists.

1A looks to be wide open. Forsan didn't receive a single first place ranking, yet still comes out on top after Prelims. 2A looks to be locked up. Tough break for White Oak and Union Grove. Both were one point away from making Finals.

[Xenon]

Yeah, the military bands that think that UIL doesn't reward the military style are being proven wrong. 1A has two great military band in Finals, 2A had 2 great military bands tied only one spot out of Finals, 3A last year had New Boston in Finals, and 5A Finals in 1998 (the last time a 5A military band went to State) Kingwood very nearly made Finals.

 

UIL is all about doing what you do well without any preconceived notions about what kind of things you are supposed to be doing. Military, Show, or Corps; doesn't matter so long as you do what you do.

 

Edit: Also, thanks to East Texas and Area C for bringing all these military bands down here to San Antonio!

Interesting that you brought that up. When was the last time a "Show" band has made it to the state level?

Maybe if we imported a show band from Georgia.

[longhorn2190]

I can't believe Sundown had such a big band!

[longhorn2190]

Could somebody clarify the differences between show, drum corps, and military style?

All of the great and big bands like LD Bell, Marcus, Coppell, Cedar Park, Duncanville, etc are all corps style right?

Show = Grambling

For Military look up Kingwood 1998 or any Texas A&M show.

And yes, the majority of what we know of in the band world is Corps style.

no offense, but military bands just aren't as interesting to watch as corps style :/

though don't get me wrong, I'm sure they're great at what they do!

Do you think Friendswood should of gotten a 4 in music?

Absolutely not, but even a 2 would have still had them one point behind Dripping Springs. It is the marching scores that made the difference, not the music scores.
