Wakeland may spoil on the medal podium, but with key director shifts at Highland Park and Burleson Centennial, this is Leander ISD’s to lose. It’s looking a lot like 2015 in that way.

Wando is also going from what I hear.

Their school split isn’t super consequential at the end of the day. Wando is still supposed to have a student population of about 4000 students or more. They’ll have plenty of students for a healthy program, and they’re very well taught. The new school, at about 1500 students at full capacity will probably stake out their own path, while not taking too much from Wando.

6 is hard. Depends on how good you think Wando, Mason, and Blue Springs are. Broken Arrow being on cycle and Tarpon Springs coming throws a massive wrench into things for Texas repeating with 6 or getting to 7.

It’s just as a whole with pretty broad subcaptions on the sheet. As a result, taste and what you’re looking for matters a ton.

CTJ won somewhat comfortably with an ordinal total of 10. Hebron and Flower Mound tied with a total of 18, which Hebron broke. Marcus came close behind with 20, The Woodlands with 22, and Pearland with 24.

I hate that Marcus pulled that time slot. Based on the video I saw, this should have been theirs to lose. I think they'll still medal, but won't be the one they probably should take home.

I might take Wando over Mason (for now) but I don’t think there’s a better six than AvonDad posted. Union came down the year Bedford finals got canceled. But we’ve missed out on many of the other Oklahoma bands. We play nice down here.

Because it’s quite optimistic still that UIL will be able to pull this off. It’s honestly more responsible to cut it now than to keep stringing students along.

UIL delaying the season. Marching shows can be learned starting 9/7. State Championships by Christmas.

Y’all are the band I’m most upset for! Your show last year was one of my absolute favorites (and if you have a late season video, message me). It was clear that this year was going to be promising for you for BOA and UIL.

At least for the fall, it’s a wrap for any in person events.

It seems BOA is likely done. The news is already leaking quite heavily.

That’s about as official as it gets in my mind. I’m not sure how you can have a competitive season while missing three crucial weeks.

I heard from a good source that a parent said the district was done but the same source told me later that students hadn’t heard anything. It looks like I may have jumped the gun on this one (my apologies) but the writing is very much on the wall for them and any other district on that side of the DFW airport.
