  1. The new high school will be in the north part of the district and focused on relieving the drastic increases for Glenn and Rouse. It may pull CP and others back down some but with the extreme numbers projected for the northern LISD schools, I also expect continual rezoning to maintain balance so I don't think it's a given that it will be temporary. If 7A is introduced later this decade based on continued population growth in the state, it's all up in the air as you likely get lower cutoffs for 5A and 6A as well which would keep bubble schools in the higher class. I think predicting beyond one cycle right now is a fool's errand.
  2. That is not necessarily true. LISD has rezoning that kicks in starting in Fall of 2024 and it will make a significant difference to all of the schools. This UIL snapshot and realignment are before any rezoning happens so it does not take it into account. The rezoning is specifically designed to address declining numbers at CP, Vista Ridge, and Vandegrift and increasing numbers at Leander, Rouse, and Glenn. The projections are that all LISD schools will be near or within 6A class sizes in the next 2 years based on the middle school populations and re-zoning. A 7th high school is being planned. Here is a link to the district projections. Note that even the 2024-2025 school year would have CP as close to 6A as Leander is now and all other LISD schools in 6A based on the new cutoff. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xi13D2Qdqu1GCZkFMjik75H0ln5uvG4J/view
  3. This source thinks the cutoff will be closer to 2285 since some schools will opt up into 6A although somewhere between 2265 and 2285. It will be interesting to see where it falls.
  4. It looks like the updated schedule is posted and it shows 21 bands competing with 10 making finals. http://www.uilmusicregion11.com/uploads/1/3/5/3/13535811/1_updated_10-15-23_5a_2023_area_h_45_min_warm-up.pdf @LeanderMomma
  5. It looks like 9 of 10 5A bands in Region 11 received 1s bringing the total for Area H to 22 bands and 4 state qualifiers.
  6. Actually the first bass drummer fell and then the tenor tripped over the bass drummer which caused the harness to come undone. I felt so bad but they all kept on and eventually were all good.
  7. Thanks to all for the great work posting updates here. If you trust but need to verify, check out the online scoring site: https://www.texasmusicforms.com/marchrptuilpublic.asp
  8. This is not the final schedule. It includes every possible 5A band in the area (24 total) and assumes a schedule including all bands from each region. We don't yet know how many spots are actually available for state. Region 32 was last night advancing all 5 5A bands Region 29 was today advancing 8 of 9 5A bands Region 11 looks like they have their contest on Saturday with 10 5A bands participating With 13 bands currently at Area, we need 2 of 10 from Region 11 to get 3 state qualifiers and 7 of 10 from Region 11 to get 4 state qualifiers. 4 will be the maximum Area H can send short of one of the judging exceptions kicking in to add one more.

  9. 5A UIL State is after BOA SA. With UIL State now every year for all classes, they are alternating which weekend the odd and even classes perform. It will flip next year, then back, and so on. All the odd classes went before BOA SA in 2021 when they held state for all classes post COVID.
  10. The field getting deeper and thus requiring higher scores makes sense. I do wonder what impact having UIL SMB every year for all classes will have on the depth of the field for BOA SA. I know most will still attend most of the time but I have to think it likely impacts a few top programs each year.
  11. I don’t necessarily believe it but it was something fun to consider. If the reason is purely the strength of Texas bands, then the amount of the jump seems high and I’d contend the scores were too low before for whatever reason.
  12. Maybe. Or perhaps when Avon attended in 2017, there was a realization that BOA SA scoring had been historically under-inflated.
  13. There were changes to the rules and judging sheets that year as well. Perhaps those changes suited the strengths of Texas bands better. It’s probably a combination of things rather than just one of the things mentioned in this thread. https://www.hornrank.com/2017/05/boa-releases-updated-rulebook.html?m=1
