dylan123 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Now that Dawson and Friendswood have moved up a class to 6A, how do you think Area F results will change? Quote
jmatthews Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 1. The Woodlands 2. Friendswood3. Spring 4. Dawson 5. Clear Lake 6. Brazoswood 7. Pearland Friendswood and Dawson will knock out Dickinson and Clear Brook, in my humble opinion. This is obviously an absurdly early prediction. Also, it's always a mystery how many bands will advance from Area F. Quote

Astros Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Klein Oak may surprise. Don't remember a Klein school making it to State. This might be the year. Quote
vacon3` Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 looks like there will be 6 bands advancing this year Quote

A Performance Draw list is a list of ALL of the bands that could possibly perform at Area if they all made 1's. You then take the list and remove all of the bands that did not make a 1. The resulting list is the performance order for the competition and would very likely no longer have 43 bands. The rule for how many advance to State is 1 State Advancer for every 5 bands participating in Prelims. 5A/6A minimum of 2 Advancers; 1A-4A minimum of 3 Advancers. Starting in 2015, the rule is being changed to count the number of bands that qualified to go to Area (earned a Division-I) instead of participating in Area. Quote

I think you're looking at the draw order, not the eligible bands. You have to go to http://www.txbands.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6437-2014-uil-region-results/ to see the results from the Regions. As of this afternoon, Area F looks like this: F - Region 9, Region 10(1), Region 17(11), Region 19(10) The numbers in parentheses are the number of schools from each region who received 1s at Region. So far there are 22 schools eligible for Area - add up all the parentheses. If no schools from Region 9 qualified, only four schools would go to state from this Area (22 / 5 = 4 with some remainder, = 4 schools). If I read the Region 9 website correctly, there are only 12 bands competing on Tuesday for their Regional. If all 12 bands from Region 9 made 1s and chose to compete at Area, that would only leave six schools from this Area (34 / 5 = 6 with some remainder, = 6 schools). As someone rooting for Clear Lake, the math is deeply disappointing. The addition of Friendswood and Dawson was a double-whammy. UPDATE: obviously I also missed the subtlety the two band minimum. I'm a lot more optimistic about Clear Lake squeezing into 7th than 6th. Bring on Saturday! NASA Bandman and Xenon 2 Quote

NASA Bandman, I wouldn't count out Clear Lake yet. I forgot to mention in my predictions earlier in the thread that I like Clear Lake also. Quote

Popular Post Rubisco Posted October 23, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 23, 2014 I agree with Decent Trumpet. The Woodlands, Spring, College Park, Brazoswood, Friendswood, Pearland, and Dawson are what I'd call the favorites to advance. Sort of off topic, but I chuckled when I saw the judging panel. Not because they're bad or anything. Quite the contrary. They're all extremely experienced and accomplished. It's just that, I mean, all but one is 60+ years old. And the one that isn't 60+ is 56. A couple are almost 70. It just sort of reinforces the stereotype of UIL judges being a bunch of old, retired white guys. Hahaha. jmatthews, principalagent, btttkd66 and 2 others 5 Quote
bancl Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 The Woodlands Spring College Park Brazoswood Friendswood Pearland Bubble: Dickinson, Clear Lake, Dawson Clear Lake has been an honor band finalist and advanced to state the last go around. Dawson was a 4A marching finalist last year. Both have had staff turnover since their last trip to state though. This will be a very tight contest! Quote
vacon3` Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Brazoswood is having a very good year and have a great show, with clean playing and marching. College Park is also having a really great year. I think either have a chance to make finals at state. Both bands looked great at BOA. Although I think Spring is very strong I'm always surprised by their placement. Woodlands is strong as usual, but not quite up to last year- But I'm sure will be top 5 at State. Many very good bands in this area. Im amazed at the number of bands that perform at such a high level. Kudos to all the kids and teachers! Quote

Rubisco Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I was at the contest. A little bit surprised by B-wood and College Park not making it to state, but it is what it is. Also surprised The Woodlands didn't come out on top. I think their show is absolutely fabulous. Maybe the Radiohead and the props were a bit much for some of the older members of the audience... ahem... Anyway, great jobs by all! Congratulations to Friendswood. It was an awesome show! jmatthews 1 Quote

What was it about Friendswood that the judges preferred over The Woodlands? Quote
