Although they missed finals by .8 points, Hutto had an extremely strong showing this past weekend. They placed 11th in prelims, and beat out Connally, Bryan, and East View, all 3 of which Hutto has never beaten before and were ranked 8th for overall General Effect. They performed well, and in my opinion deserved a spot in finals. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do these next few weeks.

They did not. They finished 15th in Prelims.

Oh no. I remember a few years ago that program finished 6th in the state with a gorgeous show. Anybody have any idea what is happening over there?

Recently Pflugerville ISD had a fine arts director change and things have been... Different. Not necessarily bad, but different in terms of funding and priority.

I really enjoyed their show and was surprised when they missed Finals.

They were so very good that year.  It's a shame how far they have fallen.

Have you seen Connally's show this year? Do you think they have a shot of advancing to state?

I have not seen their show, but based on this result I would be wary.

 

By my quick count, there are 36 5A bands in Area D (Regions 11, 12, 18, 26, 29 and 32).  So that is a maximum of 7 slots for State, more likely 5 or 6.

 

In my estimation...

 

Locks:  Cedar Park, Dripping Springs

 

Next ones up:  Georgetown, Rouse, McCallum

 

Then: Hutto, Connally, McCollum

 

Does Ann Richards compete at 5A for UIL???  If so, they could be in the mix as well.
