Mellotrill Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Results from Region 31 are in.

Let’s also not forget that Skyline earned all 1st division ratings from tough judges but was DQ’d due to a result of a Director action. They very well could squeak out a 1 again. When they play at what they call “Uil volume” that band sounds and looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1998-2018 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Simply put, judges are paid to make a decision. The head judge would not allow a single judge to give two bands the same score. They would be instructed to choose one over the other. On the other hand two judges would be allowed to give the same score to two bands. That would mean the other judges scores would determine the bands ranking. There can initially be ties in ranking when scores are combined and converted to Ordinals. The 1999 UIL 4A SMBC had a three way tie in the middle of the pack after Finals. A detailed explanation for how an Ordinal tie is broken is available on the UIL website using that contest as an example. http://www.uiltexas.org/music/marching-band/marching-band-scoring-and-advancement-procedure And yes, Finals were dominated by Area B bands that night. Good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchycookie3 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 1. Coppell 2/3. Bell and Keller 4. Waxahachie 5/6. Timber Creek and SLC With Duncanville, Highland Park, and Keller Central giving TCHS and SLC a solid fight for those last two spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mellotrill Posted October 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2022 It's official- Area B will have 12 finalists and advance 6 bands to state. In what is said to be the most difficult, or second most difficult Area next to Area C, this will certainly be an exciting competition! I predict: 1. Coppell (will be close with Wax) 2. Waxahachie (lowest they score at Area this year is 4th) 3. Southlake Carroll (production value is through the roof, and I suspect they will have cleaned up A LOT by area) 4. Keller (if Keller cleans up - lots of "dead" show design moments between excellent moments) 5. LD Bell (3-5 will be almost tied, so 5th is not bad at all for Bell here) 6. Timber Creek (show design holding TC back this year - might be bested by anyone from 7-10 range if there are any gaps in excellence) 7. Duncanville 8. JJ Pearce 9. Lake Highlands 10. Lake Ridge 11. Keller Central 12. Highland Park - welcome to 6A! peshbandkid, moneyman, Dave609 and 5 others 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandDad4 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Southlake has shown over the last two competitions they are not the same band from last year. I believe there is a good potential they would not make state. Duncanville has not participated in anything so unless you have seen them personally it's anyone's guess.

Duncanville got 1st pretty easily at the US Bands Burleson regional albeit it was kind of expected for them to win here so gauging them against other Area B groups is a bit difficult. As for Southlake, they definitely are still in the bubble to make state as BOA results usually don’t align with the end results of this area. The only 3 programs Im feeling solid about are Keller, Waxahachie, and Coppell but even then this area could still find ways to shock us.

berg Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 1: Coppell - They seem like a clear winner in my books starting an area champion streak. I absolutely loved them in BOA Dallas and thought they should’ve overtaken Marcus. 2: Keller - Even though they haven’t done as well as last season so far, I am pretty confident that they improved a massive amount since BOA Dallas. 3: Wax - Nothing much to say other than a definite lock for state. 4: LD Bell - They for sure won’t have to worry about not making state this year. They improved massively from last year but still, in my opinion, haven’t approached their 2019 show in terms of design, visuals, or music. 5: Timber Creek - they made state last year and could very well maintain that momentum. 6: SLC - I could see this band missing state but it all depends on their run and how much they’ve cleaned.
