THANK YOU

I’m pretty sure that’s outdated. A finals draw order is already posted to the uil website. I posted the link above.

Area B finals were definitely a random draw. You can tell based on the performance order Celina placed first and played first. Anna placed second and played next to last.

I’m pretty sure it’s a random draw. There’s actually already a document posted showing the draw order on the uil website. Am I misunderstanding something? https://www.uiltexas.org/files/music/4A_Finals_Draw.pdf

Agreed. It was tight in finals but was a tiny bit more spread out in prelims. It probably has something to do with Celina going first. I honestly thought Panther creek was going to jump Anna to second place in finals. They had a great run.

I mostly agree. I think North Lamar will redeem itself this year and get one of those first five spots to represent Area C. I don't think Sulphur Springs will make the finals cut this year.

Congrats to Celina, Anna, Panther Creek, and Canton on their advancement to state! Panther Creek is a new Frisco HS celebrating their first appearance at state. The other three bands are the gold, silver, and bronze champions from last year! I made it to finals and honestly thought Panther Creek was going to edge out Anna. It was an awesome night.

If anyone is at this contest, please post the results.

The rules changed. Every year is a state year now.

Has anyone seen a schedule yet? I know the draw order but I’m curious what time it starts and what time prelims will wrap up.

I’m a longtime follower of the canton band from back when Rob Toups led the program. The canton band of today definitely can be beat. I was honestly surprised they placed third last year. I thought for sure Sulphur Springs was going to snag bronze. I saw China Spring at Melissa and their show was a little rough, but so was everyone else’s show. It would be amazing for Burnet to secure the area championship.

4A results from today's region 20 contest are posted to uilforms. Looks like this area will only advance four bands. I'm really excited for this contest. It will be a good one!

And region 20 goes tomorrow.

Oh man. I was counting on Mabank.

Agreed. I think with the addition of Panther Creek this area is just as tight as it was with Argyle and Melissa. Celina, Anna, Panther Creek, and Canton are my predictions for advancement. I think Kaufman, Krum, and Farmersville with definitely make finals.
