The thing that sticks out the most to me is the difference between Pearland’s individual and ensemble scores in semis between both music and visual. I believe it has to do with the amount of freshman they have on the field, they are more likely to pick a member with less experience.

Former Pearland alum here, my cousin is currently in the Pearland Band. I’ve heard it may be possible since they are on an upwards trajectory in placements relating to state they could be returning to Grand Nats next year. Wondering how true this is and whether any current Pearland Band parents hear this?

Here is the draw order for 6A Area E. It shows that the draw order was created 9/17/23 and that both Dawson and Pearland are still in Area E. The URL to find this is https://uilregion13.com/draw-order-1 6A order 23.pdf

Pearland realistically wasn’t predicted to make 63rd. They have never placed lower than 28th. The predictions on txbands are only used to predict finalist. As the number is displaying they were just a long shot over their actual placement.

I know 2017, their second year at SA, Pearland was able to increase their score 9.575 points from a 78.275 at Conroe to a 87.850 at SA. And that 87.850 actually got them 17th. Just looking back from 2016 SA to 2017 SA, it looked like Pearland had something to prove and it led to a increase in 11 spots. Last year 2018 SA Pearland got 25th. At Houston this year they got a score of 82.4 and look like they have something to prove again. If they increase by 9.575 points again that would be enough to get them into finals this year. Like Daniel says, Pearland keeps on getting underscored.
