Round rock got 13th :(

Dang, that's pretty frustrating, but honestly pretty good. Jumped over two bands from their area and beat some really good bands that most expected to be in finals. Goes to show how much talent those kids have, I couldn't be prouder of them.

Some of the biggest changes in fate...

 

-  Bowie does not make finals, after placing higher than CTJ at Area.

-  Westlake is out after edging out Leander in Area.  

-  Hendrickson well out of finals after great showing at BOA SA.  

-  Round Rock is last band in at Area, and first band out at State.

Preliminary history book post:

 

  • Second cycle in a row that a band completely new to 6A makes state finals! And they join the band that did it the prior time. Congrats Waxahachie! The 5As can play with the big boys just fine!
  • Along with Waxahachie, Vista Ridge and Cedar Ridge are also first time 6A state finalists! Additionally, this is Cedar Ridge's first time in state finals in any class. They are the only completely new band in this group.
  • Marcus now has the longest streak of state finals appearances of any band here. 2006 on. They have a long, long way to go though to get to a record. Thank Westfield for that.
  • Eight of the bands repeated from last year. 11 repeated from BOA San Antonio this weekend. I have a hunch it would have been 12 if Waxahachie attended.
  • This year marks the first time three Leander ISD schools have made 6A state finals. Fully, 2/3 of that school district has now made the top class's UIL state finals. The only district with a better ratio than theirs is Lewisville ISD, with 4/5 having ever made it. And of course, both LISDs make up half of finals.
  • EDIT: adding that Vandegrift and Flower Mound have never missed state finals on any year of advancement to the SMBC. This might also be true for Waxahachie but I'm too lazy to dig that deep sorry.

Others to come when prelims results are fully released.
