With the realignment, Barbers Hill is Area E. Looks like we'll probably see 3 advancers here, 4 if we're lucky. Richland shouldn't have problem running away with this and Aledo seems like a pretty safe bet for a trip to state as well. the last spot(s) could go to Chisholm Trail, Birdville, Newman Smith, Colleyville Heritage, Boswell or Azle. Should be a nice, competitive competition

If there are only two bands advancing, I see Richland and Aledo moving on.

 

24 or 25 bands in Area F so there could be more but Richland is strong and improving and Aledo had a very nice showing at HEB.

 

Watch out for Burleson Centennial...I really like their show.  They need some cleaning but they have a good sound.

 

2 bands:  Richland, Aledo

3 bands:  Richland, Aledo and Burleson Centennial

4 bands:  Richland, Aledo, Burleson Centennial and Birdville

I'll need to dig around to see how Aledo has historically done in UIL. I can imagine circumstances in which their boldness, sometimes overextended, would not be preferred to Birdville's more controlled products. A third band potentially in the hunt is Colleyville Heritage.

Aledo made state finals last year, so they could be solid to move on again.

I’d love to see both 5A BISD schools advance!

I can't make predictions as I am new to this whole marching band thing as a freshman parent, but have seen some of these bands in competitions this year or via you tube videos and really going to be tough competition.  Best of luck to all competing.  One thing is for sure....all these marching band kids work their tails off and should be proud!
