I would love to see a separate place for UIL discussion as there are so many threads already. Add all the US Bands comps in along with BOA and it gets difficult to wade through at times. It’s overwhelming!

Buda. I just hate to see them struggling. 😢

I’m a little concerned about Johnson after their score at TCGC Akins today (56.2). What a roller coaster winter guard and marching band can be!

If you want some in depth stuff from all over the country, check out the forums on https://hornrank.proboards.com/ in general, and the “history” section in particular! Especially good info before your first trip to Grand Nationals! 🥰

Carmel is brilliant as well. This show is very different from what I expected from them! Could be a tight race at the top by April.

Avon’s show is très magnifique. 😘 Just wow. Their performance level already is insane and they definitely deserved that score they were awarded yesterday. I declare Victory in Dayton for Voilà! I am in love!!! 😍😍

Just came here to say that! ☺️

This group is just something else! I can’t get over how they continue to excel every season after being moved up a class each of the last two years! That’s a special group right there. I heard there were a lot of penalties but that’s a little ridiculous. I would love to know the tea on that. 😁 Also, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the results from around the country!

Those top 3 National A teams are neck and neck! Also, very nice to see how well Ann Richards is doing in AA!

I saw that this morning. 🥹

Brilliant analysis as always @Rubisco Thank you for that! I’m also anxious to see how Clearbrook does again this year after taking second place in Scholastic A at Dayton last year. (Speaking of which, I watched and featured on my Instagram yesterday the show from last year’s Scholastic A winners, Dobyns-Bennett HS, and I was blown away all over again by it! The design and execution of “The Bride” was absolutely off the charts!). I’m ready for another amazing season! I just can’t overstate enough though how disappointing it is that TCGC isn’t streamed live. Surely Flo and TCGC could work together on this! But I digress…

I remember in 2016 those poor Leander kids rode the bus straight from UIL state on Wednesday afternoon back to the Austin airport and literally flew overnight to Indy. It was definitely a whirlwind and a lot of the kids were dealing with injuries by that point, but they had a blast! I’m hopeful they will be a little more rested this time. 🥴😊
