And for the record, this is the first year ever that all Region 30 bands receive straight 1's since the Region formed in 2016.

Please help me in congratulating the first 3 advancers to the State Military Contest in Conference 4A, Gilmer HS, Pittsburg HS, and Spring Hill HS out of Region 4!!!

Hey everyone, please help me in congratulating the first 2 advancers for the State Military Contest, Harleton HS and Union Grove HS out of Region 4 for Conference 2A!

Oh! I almost forgot, if any of yall know/have the results for the following contests, please share them!
Seguin Marching Festival (September 23rd) Cypress Marching Showcase (September 30th) Mesquite Marching Festival (September 30th) I'm having the hardest time finding any sorts of results from these 3 events.

Hey yall! We are making our way into the start of the Prestigious UIL Process of the season, and I just wanted to make this statement. Any Regional events that get submitted will get declined as Region is not a competition between other bands. It should get renamed to UIL Regional Evaluation. Now come Area, that is where the actual competition will start. 
Thanks for understanding and have a wonderful Monday!

You know, I think its time to post Lumberton now. They are on fire so far this season. Winning their class at Galena Park and then today winning Grand Champion at Battle at the Bridges Contest in Bridge City. Definitely a strong bubble band for State Finals. P.S. They are not quite done with their show yet.
 

It’s gonna be a tight race between Lumberton, Sulpher Springs, and North Lamar, I would love to see Lumberton come out on top. 

Hope to be there with y’all 😉

I think a lot of people had Lumberton in Finals last year. I really think they could make it this time around. Will have to wait and see.

I couldn’t agree more …. I’ve seen the drill but can’t wait till next week to see it all come together. We are all hoping to make finals at state. I’m just so proud of them. And the guard has come so far in just a year.

Same! It has so much potential to completely shake up the competition at Area & State. Cant wait to see what they have planned for the ending!

They didn’t announce captions and they haven’t updated their website yet.  

So this is the perfect time to explain the process. Instead of immediately accepting/declining events as soon as they come in, I am waiting till the week of (Around the Sunday/Monday of that new week) to then concentrate on the new group of events. This has led to multiple individuals filling out the same competitions over and over again. For example, I had 12 "BOA Katy's" waiting, and several were from 1 person. It is always best to wait to submit a contest until it is 100% confirmed on which bands are going or not. That also applies to when predicting. If I have to adjust an event, then everyone is given the option to re-predict which could be frustrating to do. 
So, to really answer your question, I did get it (most likely with others as well) and I will be accepting one of them either Sunday or Monday. 
Hopefully you understand. Have fun predicting!

Oh okay that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for clearing that up👍

I absolutely agree. I think it's time to stop brushing off these smaller classes just because they arent 5A/6A. 4A has gotten so much more competitive in the past few years yet you hardly hear anything about it from anyone.

From at least Houston/SETX, there are some smaller school changes possibly. But no "big dog" changes like in your post. I'd say the biggest change is that Barbers Hill is on the line of moving up to 6A.

So Saginaw is not going to this event, and China Spring is? I will update the list of bands in the predictions and then anyone can fix their list if they want to.

Thank you so much!!
