mellopwn1 Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Ahhh, how I love Area Websites. .gif files bouncing up at you, rainbows of poorly formatted text; it's like going back in an internet time machine.

guardforlife Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Mellophone77 said: Yeah, does the number of bands that advance to state determined by the number of bands that ATTEND or by the number that ADVANCE? If its attend...every band in Region 5 will have to get a 1 for Area B to send 5. I'll be at Area B next week I'll probably get there on the early side after seeing what Region UIL's parking was like... And on a random/fun side note: At Region last night there were a few people in front of me wearing the Tarpon Springs High School band's 2009 show shirt. Really cool shirt Actually Area B will only be sending 4 bands to state. Currently only 13 bands are going to area and not 14. Plano has decided not to go to Area contest this year. They are doing things differently this year. And there are only 11 bands that can advance in Region 5. Its not 12. Some schools that were 5A have gone down to 4A. So if every band in Region 5 get 1st divisions, there will be a total of 24. So Area B will miss it by one. Area B 1st Divisions: 13 Bands Going to Area.... Colleyville Heritage Grapevine Southlake Carroll Lewisville Flower Mound Hebron Marcus Allen Plano - Not attending area this year Plano East McKinney Boyd Ft. Worth Paschal North Crowley Weatherford Region 5 5A Bands..... 11 bands Arlington Haltom Bowie LD Bell Lamar Legacy Mansfield Martin Richland Sam Houston Trinity Quote
guardforlife Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 OK wait a minute.... I was wrong!! I looked on uilforms and saw that Timberview was listed as 4A and not 5A. After doing some research, Timberview is 5A and so that makes 12 from Region 5. So, if all bands get a 1 then there will be exactly 25 bands. Quote

There was a rule change recently that allows a band to compete in a different classification from it's football team. A school that would normally be 4A can choose to compete in 5A, but the band no longer has to abide by that; they can stay in 4A. It is very possible that Mansfield Timberview is one these bands.

jmj Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) This is indeed very interesting about Timberview. The Region 5 draw order from their website lists them as 5A, but UILForms does show them 4A... Hmmm.... Here's the link to the draw order document. http://uilforms.com/regions/5/BAND%20DRAW%...nce%20Order.pdf Is there anyone on here from Timberview that knows the real answer? Also, the UIL website lists their enrollment as 2304. The 5A cutoff is 2065. They are well above it. Edited October 17, 2010 by jmj Quote

Well after looking at their website it has area marching contest on there so I'm going to assume they are going assuming they get a 1 which they should without any issues. Quote
MaverickBand15 Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Does anyone know when we will have a schedule for the Area D Marching Contest? Quote

MaverickBand15 Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Could you post a link to that schedule? And do you know when finals would start. I am just confused as to how they have a schedule if there is one more region to have their contest. Quote

Xenon Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 The Fort Worth Star Telegram went out to a bunch of different UIL Region contests in Tarrant County and ran this story on them: http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/10/16/25...erform-for.html Quote
Mellophone77 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) So yeah, best of luck to every 5A band in Region 5 xD I originally wrote something else but I went back and reread only to discover that I misread what someone had said... As for Plano not going to Area: I've heard that the head band director wanted to take a break from it...but I also realized recently that they have Homecoming on the same day as Area, so that could be a key factor as well. Didn't SFA opt out of Area last state year for the same reason? Edited October 18, 2010 by Mellophone77 Quote
TxRaider13 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Do people know something about Cedar Hill, that I don't? People are placing them to make state and I haven't seen them so I'm just wanting some 411 Quote

They sounded better and the looked much better than ever before. But. That doesn't mean State level in an Area that has the top 4 spots completely stacked. I do expect them to be fighting for a spot in Area Finals. Quote

Thats what I was thinking, b/c my memory of Cedar Hill was a band improving, but not state ready. Also the top 3 spots are locks, and we all know who those are, but that 4th could go (IMO) to 3 different bands, but the early top 4 in no order are: Berkner, Duncanville, Coppell, Rowlett. With Sachse on the outside looking in and North Mesquite as the dark horse trying to make state in forever. (No Pun intended). Quote

TxRaider13 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Be awsome if someone would make these into the prediction section, some of these would be fun/challenging to predict Quote
Mellophone77 Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 A little info on Plano West's 2...I heard that they didn't get the drill for the closer until the Thursday before UIL. Why they learned it in two days and tried to perform it is a bit beyond me. Quote
jmj Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I have 2 nuggets of info, y'all. 1) Region 16 South Zone actually had their contest tonight. This completes all regions for Area A. Abilene and Abilene Cooper both got 1st divisions, which makes 26 bands in that area with a 1. So, provided they all show up, we should have 5 bands advance from Area A. 2) The Area G 5A schedule is now posted. 38 bands in prelims. Last band in finals doesn't march until 11:15 PM. It's gonna be a long evening for them. Here's the link: http://uilforms.com/regions/14/AreaMarchin...205A%202010.pdf Quote
