itsjaredh97 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Figured I should start this topic as we inch closer and closer to this competition on October 30th. In the past, this definitely has been one of the most competitive areas in the whole state, and will likely be even more competitive this year due to the possibility of only 5 bands advancing to state instead of the usual 6. The 6 bands that advanced in 2018 were: Claudia Taylor Johnson Ronald Reagan Cedar Ridge Round Rock James Bowie Hendrickson First 2 out: Hays Westwood With Hendrickson moving down to 5A, this opens the door for someone else to take that spot if they advance 6 bands to state. We all know Westwood has that potential as (we) have improved so much since 2018 and Hays has gotten much better as well. However, if they only advance 5, that means more than likely, one of these extremely talented bands is not going to advance. Buckle up, this is going to be one of the most entertaining finishes at a marching competition this season. Can't wait to compete in this. Quote
abtwitch Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Also from what I understand, Bowie is not competing here. They are attending BOA Waco and don't have Area or State on their calendar at all. Quote

TRBbaritone Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 My predictions for finals as of right now: 1. Reagan 2. CTJ 3. Cedar Ridge 4. Round Rock 5. Westwood 6. Churchill 7. Hays 8. McNeil 9. Smithson Valley 10. New Braunfels I truly feel like Churchill has a really good chance at making it this year for the first time in a long time. Slots 5-10 are all kind of a toss up, and the last 2 spots advancing to State are going to be in heavy contention. Quote

Band2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 UIL Region 26 was an amazing show case! many great bands that all have great potential. two bands that really are competing with each other are Round Rock and Westwood. Round Rock tends to do better later in the season once they have cleaned themselves a bit. When you have such a large group this can be a real hurdle but once you perfect this you can really begin to dominate example: Reagan. Westwood has the ability to move ahead of round rock if they don't peak early. Cedar Ridge is on another level this year they are small but as always come with power. I expect a repeat of 2018 and a state finals slot for this group. Area Top 3: 1. Ronald Reagan 2. CTJ 3. Cedar Ridge ---------------- 4-5: Round Rock, Westwood --------------- 6-10: Hays, Smithson Valley, McNeil , Churchill, New Braunfels PS: really shocked to see Bowie not competing this year it will feel like something is missing for sure.

BandFan59 Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I have Reagan, CTJ, Cedar Ridge, Round Rock, and Westwood qualifying for state in that order. I think Hays and McNeil will solidly be in finals with the good prelim times they drew. Not too sure about the rest of the field here, but interesting to see James Bowie isn't participating at area/state this year. I know they have BOA Waco on their schedule for the weekend of this and the other 6A area contests. Quote
bchorn Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Given how Reagan, CTJ, and Round Rock are going to both the Super Regionals and Grand Nationals, how likely is it that all three of these bands will choose to participate in the State marching contests as well? I ask because we all know these three bands are a lock for state. But it seems like participating in three marching band contests over the span of 8 days in two different states is pretty daunting. Would one or more of these schools choose to opt out of state in favor of the BOA competitions? Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 I think they all would have announced before now if they weren't going to state, as a couple others already have (Bowie and The Woodlands, I think?) Quote
