I was going off of this quote where you said you had a feeling they WILL move back. I have a feeling when UIL redoes classifications for the 2026-2027 school year some of those schools will move back to Area B in 4A or they will stay in Area C and join 5A which is not that big.

Here's my predictions for how this shakes out: 1. Wakeland/Lone Star 2. Lone Star/Wakeland 3. Argyle/LT/McNorth 4. LT/McNorth/Argyle/WG 5. WG/LT/McNorth 6. WG/Liberty 7. Liberty/Reedy 8. Reedy/Emerson/TC 9. Emerson/TC/Memorial 10. TC/Memorial/Heritage Bubble: Melissa, Lovejoy, Independence, etc.

wasnt this oak ridge’s 2024 show?

If you go back to my original post I said "may" never said they will.

I'm not sure if I am exactly right. But I think it is accurate.

This could happen. Just depends on how each band performs, and it's still early to tell. However, I am excited to see how everything plays out.

Yes, I can totally agree with these predictions. Many of these bands are talented, but excited to see how everything plays out for this competition.

Now this is gonna be good. Can't wait to see how Reedy does with this.

midlothian is confirmed returning. also, some of the bands returning based on their calendars are: berkner south grand prairie creekview trimble tech ranchview (?) arlington kennedale timberview

1/2: Celina and/or Sulphur springs 3/4/5: NL/BC/Lumberton. bridge city got 3rd last year and i can see them doing it again. lumberton is huge and has good sounds and good marching. north lamar always ends up getting to state 6/7/8 VA/Farmersville/canton. hopefully there is 8 state spots this year because these are all very good bands. 9-12 WP/sunnyvale/paris/Community: barley missing out on state again not really much change from you. does anybody know celinas show?

Again, they don’t always change area every time they reclassify. Sometimes it is 20 years before they touch areas. I’m glad you have a feeling but it doesn’t change facts. They do not have to change areas every 2 years.

Reedy High School 2025 - Midnight

When they last redid the classification they also did the Areas. For example, in 2023. Celina, Canton, Farmersville, Van Alstyne, Wills Point, Sunnyvale, Community, Mabank, Caddo Mills and Quinlan Ford were all part of Area B. They are were moved to Area C when UIL redid the classification for this previous 2024-2025 school year. None of those schools moved up or moved down. Hence the reason 4A Area C became like a Super Area with so many great programs and allowed some newer schools in Area B to make it to state. I have a feeling when UIL redoes classifications for the 2026-2027 school year some of those schools will move back to Area B in 4A or they will stay in Area C and join 5A which is not that big. Yes, I have a feeling that some of the Area B's and C's will move up to 5A but I don't think there will be that many because the state is going to raise the cutoffs to try and balance everything out. It's just a question of how much are they going to raise it. Cutoffs in 2022, 1300 students got you in 5A, 2024 it was 1315. 4A is the smallest division in Texas and 5A is the biggest.

Sorry for the low quality pic I don’t have the actual poster atm Richardson 2025- Fire & Valor Selections: Greensleeves Shostakovich symphony no.10 Dvorak 9 The fighting Uruk Hai by Howard shore The fellowship reunited From the music I heard in their show reveal, Richardson is definitely stepping it up this year. Could be a real contender in 6A Area C now that some of the other schools in RISD have their directors leaving (specifically berkner & Pearce, with lake highlands not losing their main director)

I think both will get two performances, Johnson fs! Colleyville has a ton of potential after last year, can’t wait for both groups!

I’m gonna say this and I’mma say it now: Our show music is absolutely amazing!!! 🤩🤩🤩 It’s so electric, light and upbeat but it also has a mysterious flipside to it (hehehe get it?). I’m excited 😆

Sick!

TexasStrangers you said the Dallas schools may move back to area b. The realignment that moved them into area c doesn’t happen very often. It doesn’t happen every two years. The two year alignment is for classification. That doesn’t change which area you go into unless you move classifications.
