Imagine Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 So because this may apply to all of the regional contests I thought I'd post this question here instead of in just one of the regional threads. There is a big chance of rain for many of the regional contests. What happens if a region cannot complete the adjudication of all of the bands in the region due to rain? Has this ever happened before? Because if recent trends hold, a region (or two or three or four) could end of having to cancel a contest due to rain. Quote

If Saturday is rained out it will be rescheduled to a week day. Quote

But if that is the only day that has decent weather, they better consider it!!! Quote

I just don't think its that good. The them isn't cohesive compared to Cedar Ridge or Hendrickson. I think the love is because Round Rock has a long fantastic BOA history whereas Cedar Ridge and Hendrickson are much newer schools. Yes, Round Rock is struggling a bit this year, but with their long history of being a superb band program, we know that they will rise again! Quote

They can reschedule the Region contests up to the next weekend. They then can move the Area contest back another week if necessary. Yes I know it would conflict with BOA but with the 2A and 4A schools having very few going to BOA they could do area at that time if necessary. I think this is a ABSOLUTELY WORST CASE SCENARIO and I believe that if the Rain is not heavy the shows will go on. One of the big problems is that most of the Bands have Props and costumes that will not do well in the rain. Quote
PSHSMom Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 It looks like Region 24 should have a good day tomorrow (knock on wood!) Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 From what I’ve been told,region HAS to happen tomorrow. Over here there is no good reschedule days with the rain chances being high all week. Quote

Region here in SA is at Heroes stadium and the reschedule day is Monday - Area is scheduled the following week at the same stadium and the following Monday is the reschedule day. all the UIL area and regions generally have a date set as a reschedule day Quote
LeanderMomma Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I can’t even fathom that they would schedule UIL the same days as the SA BOA super regional. Has that ever happened before? Granted, they are not related to one another at all, but surely they are aware of what a massive conflict it would be. Quote

San Antonio started being scheduled the final Texas Regional starting in 2002. UIL likes to have its contests during the school week. Those contests would never conflict. The UIL State schedule this year is a slight compromise that would have given 6A programs an extra day to get up to Grand Nationals if they chose to compete there. Quote
principalagent Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 UIL Area and the San Antonio Super Regional have been on the same weekend before! 2009. Quote

jcbg Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Anyone know how many bands will be at state/finalists? Been at LSP and the 6A region forum is very confusing to try and figure it out Quote

Dosh24 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 So for UIL, can Band performances only be 8 minutes long at the most? Quote

Dosh24 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Our contest show in 2016 was 9 minutes long and we performed in state finals, and I’ve definitely seen other UIL performances longer than 8 minutes, so does that rule actually have any substance behind it? Quote

I was thinking about that, and I think that rule is only in place for UIL Region and not state. I believe you have a much more loose time constraint but don’t take that from me because I don’t know things. Quote

Shows longer than 8 minutes always start before the timer.the clock starts at the end of the announcements. Quote

In our 2016 show, in the state finals video the announcement ends before the show starts Quote
