FWIW, Dawson advanced to state in 2022, but not in 2021. So they haven’t really “made it the last few years” more than some of the other schools in this area.

Does anyone know if there are full recaps available? I know they’ve put them out in previous years, but haven’t been able to find them this year.

TexasMusicForms only goes back to 2009, but unless I missed one, the only time they got a 1 at Region was 2019, which wasn’t a state year. Not sure before then.

I managed to write them down: 4 Tomball 5 Clear Falls 6 Summer Creek 7 Grand Oaks 8 Clear Lake 9 Clear Creek

Not only are they in the draw order, but they are in Region 19, which is part of Area E for 6A. https://align.tmea.org/align_2224/index.php https://align.tmea.org/align_2224/tmeamapssidebar.php?region[]=19 I’m guessing that whoever made that poster used a template from a few years ago (when Region 19 was in Area F) and didn’t proof it well. Full disclosure: I’m not affiliated with Dawson, or Pearland ISD.

What contest yesterday are you referring to?

Finals rankings: 1. Dickinson 2. Clear Brook 3. Clements 4. Clear Lake 5. Spring 6. Brazoswood 7. Clear Springs 8. Clear Creek 9. Travis 10. Dobie

According to Texas Music Forms, Channelview also received a 1st Division in Region 19 6A.

I really feel for the kids from Dawson and Dickinson especially, having a tiebreaker keep them from state - that’s heartbreaking. Our band missed state by 3 ordinal points in 2018, and that was bad enough. I’m not going to say I agree with all the placements, but I’m not a trained judge, either - I figure they catch things that I don’t. This isn’t the first time that judging seemed strange and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Regardless, as a parent of a kid in a program in Area E that did make state and is not on your list of who should be going, this post is pretty insulting. We’ve been on the other side and our kids are taught to be gracious regardless, and honestly, that’s all you can do. I just would like people to remember that all the kids are working hard and doing their best and the judging, right or wrong, isn’t their fault, and posts like this can be unnecessarily hurtful.
