I plan on making an extra flight to this one next year! Cannot wait!

A lot of movement for this area next year. Here's what we have going on in terms of realignment: Moving up to 6A: Red Oak Moving down to 5A: Garland, Mesquite, Rowlett, Lancaster Moving down to 4A: Kaufman, Jacksonville This kind of opens up the area, but not really, as the area will continue to sit at 4 state advancers, unless of course a few of the Dallas ISD bands get 1s. Finalists for 2026 should be, in no particular order: Poteet, North Mesquite, Lakeview Centennial, Highland Park, Garland, Mesquite, Rowlett, West Mesquite, Mount Pleasant, and Terrell. The addition of Garland, Mesquite, and Rowlett will make things very interesting here. Mesquite was the higher scoring of the three last year, and should do pretty well here, but I wouldn't be surprised if either Garland or Rowlett are pretty close to state as well.

Considering the amazing shows out of this area last year, I’m very excited to see how this area performs next year!

I think the reason why you are not seeing alot of school growth with Area C is because it is encumbered with 3A/2A bands that are all very close to each other. There really isn't alot of 4A/5A schools out East especially schools that are known for having a decent band program. I know numerous 3A/2A schools saw declines in enrollment with students going "home school", students going back to "mexico" and several schools have students jump back and forth between districts alot or accepting/denying transfers.

I believe Lebanon Trail also has this on their calendar

Yup, my bad I was talking to some friends about Area B and just for some reason had it on my mind when typing.

Kaufman is FAR far far better than they were when they made it to state in 2022 in 4A. I think they will have similar success to Sulphur Springs after moving down. 5A Honor Band finalist this last spring as well. They'll be dangerous.

Is there a chance this area might be split up? Area E: region 33, 10, 9, 19 - (total 22 schools) New 5A Area I: Region 13, 23, 27, 17 - (total 19) Region 8 South would likely move back to Area D

There is no mention whatsoever of BOA Austin. Sad, but not surprising.
