2016 TMEA Honor Band

[Xenon]

UIL State Marching is every other school year and in the opposite school years there is the TMEA State Honor Band process.

 

Bands submit a CD with three pieces recorded throughout the Spring. Two bands from every region get to advance to Area and two bands from each Area get to advance to State. Two twists; 1) the current reigning State Honor Band is not allowed to compete 2) in order to compete, the director must also be the director for the next school year.

 

In general, results can be found at: https://www.tmea.org/divisions-regions/band/honor-band/entry-list

I think you meant to put Richland instead of Birdville in 6A Area B

I think you meant to put Richland instead of Birdville in 6A Area B

Yup! Fixed!

Yes, those were the final results from last year.

 

EDIT: Actually those results are interesting. The top 8 make up 8 of the 10 bands at the 5A SMBC finals this year. The only two missing are Cedar Park, who couldn't compete after winning in 2013, and Leander, who couldn't compete because their head director left in 2015.

[Xenon]

Of note, I call this the 2016 TMEA Honor Band competition, but it is really the selection process for the TMEA Honor Band performances at the 2017 TMEA Convention.

 

Even though the performance for the selection process is from the 2015-2016 school year and the competition/listenings/selection happen in 2016, the end result is which band will perform at the 2017 TMEA Convention during the 2016-2017 school year.

 

It all gets really confusing, but that is why the 5A results listed above say they are for the "2016 5A Honor Band" even though the selection happened in 2015 from performances from the 2014-2015 school year....

[Samuel Culper]

I agree. It's very confusing.

All the Area results should be coming in today and tomorrow. I have updated the top post with the results from so far today and will continue to update periodically.

[Xenon]

Updated with all of the Area results!

[GBMELLO]

Can we talk about how Reedy HS advanced in their first year of existence with only freshmen and sophomores??? 

[Xenon]

Congratulations to New Deal for being the 2A Honor Band!
