Expand Others may have a much better answer than me but it doesn't look as odd if you look at the alignment map for Regions, Area H is composed of Regions 32, 29 and 11. It's a big state and the 3 regions are adjacent and cover more South and west of Austin. Quote

Dave609 Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Hey, Spring Hill is competing at Area C in 4A this year, not the State Military Contest. abtwitch 1 Quote
abtwitch Posted October 13, 2021 Author Posted October 13, 2021 Only one region contest today, and that's Region 25 2A-4A. Originally Region 3 3A/5A and Region 20 6A were supposed to occur today, but they've been pushed to next week (as is now reflected in the spreadsheet. Yesterday was a big first day! Congratulations to Rivercrest, a 2A in Region 4 for getting their first 1 in marching band in school history! We also got to see every region that makes up 5A Area F, so we now know that there will be 22 bands competing for 4 state spots. A majority of 6A Area B regions had their contest yesterday and all that remains is Region 20, but it is looking like that Area will unfortunately only be taking 5 to state this year. Other Areas effected by yesterday's results are 6A and 5A Area H and 5A Area C. No big surprises for those contests other than only 4/5 of the 5As in Region 4 getting a 1, which has a small chance of putting the 5th state spot in Area C in jeopardy. Quote

If anyone has the results before Texas Music Forms gets them up it would be appreciated if you could post them here. EDIT: I stayed up long enough to see the rest of Region 28 and 15, Region 17 continues to be an enigma Quote

BravoBand Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 The 6A Area F Regionals are complete and 26 bands qualified for Area but three of those bands are not attending Area so only 23 will compete. An additional band is attending Area but will elect not to go to state. Is it certain there will be five and not four that will advance to State from Area F even with Kingwood and Atascocita declaring for Military state competition? I know the rule says “qualifying” rather than “attending” but just thought I would double check with one of the experts here given this is the first full year since state UIL Military contest started.
