Rubisco Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Now that all the Region results are in, it's time to look forward to Area and State. Posted below are the bands that have advanced to the Area level and their Region level rankings. If the Region rankings of the bands are unknown, I list them in alphabetical order. I will update this page with the Area results when they are known. Congratulations to these 42 groups for advancing to Area! The field has been cut down by more than 1/2 (including those who may have dropped out). Congrats to our 2012 TMEA 5A Honor Band State Advancers! Good luck to all!

Rubisco Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Here are my worthless predictions, based almost entirely on name recognition! Area A - Marcus and Keller Area B - Haltom and Richland Area C - Berkner and Rowlett Area D - The Woodlands and Spring (Area D Prediction Methodology: Believing firmly that the Area D state advancers would be composed of Region 9 and/or 20 groups, I accessed an online Magic 8 Ball from a Purdue University website and asked for each band, "Will such and such make state?" five times. A "yes" answer counted as 1, a "no" answer counted as 2, all others were ignored. In the first round, surprisingly, Duncanville was eliminated (12222), while all the others got scores of 11122. This began the sudden death round(s) for the other 3 bands. What a band got this round in a single asking would determine if it made State. The Magic 8 Ball said yes to The Woodlands in this round, but confusingly said no to the other two. This called for another sudden death round, in which, after giving both remaining bands a lot of maybes and try-again-laters, the Magic 8 Ball declared Spring the other advancing band. It has thus spoken.) Area E - Reagan and Langham Creek Area F - Brazoswood and Clear Lake Area G - Lopez and Clements Best of luck to all! Edited June 15, 2012 by Rubisco Quote
Xenon Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I don't like your magic 8 ball. ;p But really, that area is so ridiculous that there really isn't a better way to predict without having heard all the tapes. Quote

Thankfully, we don't have to wait much longer to hear the results. It's just 5 (soon to be 4) days away! Area E is another one I'm interested in. It's just a couple days after Area D. Quote
