    Allen will be attending per their calendar

    Yeah, Region 25 split up their contests. 6A and the Plano NVs are on October 11, 2A/3A/4A is October 15, and 5A is October 18. The 3A bands in this region get two weekends before Area.

    I am curious about the music selections for this one - this could be a fun show!
  4. BugWub24
    I'm surprised Wylie still has this on their calendar - Region 25 6A contest is the same day (October 11).
  5. BugWub24
    Commerce will be attending

    Waxahachie ISD a few months back announced a second high school — Waxahachie Creek — to be opening in 2027. Could also make things interesting on how they will split the student body.

    For 6A: Allen Plano Plano West Plano East Princeton Wylie Wylie East TMEA has an interactive map of the regions on their website.

    That was my first thought as well - bring back 25 to C - but unfortunately the same problem previously mentioned would arise in J, but would be much worse. McKinney North and Reedy could help get them back above 15 bands, but that still would only be three bands advancing to state in that scenario. That prevents even Prosper from making state. It'll be interesting for sure to see what TMEA/UIL does if multiple schools in the same area drop below the 6A cutoff.

    6A Area C would need another region if this were to happen. Worst case scenario would be that they could fall under 15 bands that qualify for area - nightmare scenarios for Sachse, Duncanville, and Rockwall among the rest of the bunch. 5A Area B could be very interesting with those additions. A band I would like to add to the list is Walnut Grove - they will definitely be moving up to 6A in the next realignment.

    Garland currently has USBands Saginaw on their events list for this season, so they most likely will not be returning to this contest.

    I’m also under the impression that both schools will be just fine. Good foundations and principles go a long way. Regarding Sachse, SharksAreCool said it the best; the transition from 4A to 6A could “elevate his style.” I think it’s very likely this the case. Nall’s work jumpstarting the West Plains program has proven that he is the real deal, and now he has the resources and tools of a strong 6A program. I do also think they need to start consistently putting out great shows like this year and 2021, but I’m confident that will be taken care of with a new face in the program.

    Justin Bell, current assistant director for Waxahachie, will be promoted to the head director role.

    Drop: Mansfield HS (UIL Region)

    Here's some of West Plains' recent accomplishments: 7th Place finish at the 2024 UIL 4A State Marching Contest 2025 TMEA 4A Honor Band Amazing hire for Sachse - they are getting a well-respected and experienced director! They should continue to see the success they had this past year, and potentially could find themselves in the state finals bubble in a few years!

    They were a fairly decent program a few years back (placed 6th in Prelims of 5A Area C in 2019); they were also going to other contests as well. Just looking at the recent band enrollment numbers, which are visible for every school on the music realignment page, seems like the program took a big hit from the pandemic, but they are starting to build back up their numbers, and with that will be able to go to more contests once again! I'm pretty sure this will be their first trip to a BOA event.

    For a good while, Greenville has only been at the Mesquite Marching Festival outside of UIL events. This will be a great experience for those kids!
  17. BugWub24
    Nice! I wasn't totally convinced they would come, as they originally had a community performance scheduled for the 18th.
  18. BugWub24
    If it’s anything like Crossmen’s Earth Song, this could be a goated opener!
  19. BugWub24
    Contest Date: October 11, 2025 @ Birdville Fine Arts/Athletics Complex Confirmed (as of 06/12/2025): Brewer HS Byron Nelson HS Chisholm Trail HS Colleyville Heritage HS Duncanville HS Grapevine HS Keller HS Lake Belton HS Lake Ridge HS Mansfield HS Mansfield Legacy HS Midway HS Newman Smith HS North Mesquite HS RL Turner HS Sachse HS Summit HS The Colony HS Timberview HS A large list already accumulated! This is going to be yet another great lineup!

    Contest Date: October 18, 2025, Duncanville Panther Stadium Confirmed (as of 06/01/2025): Birdville HS James Martin HS Keller Central HS Lake Highlands HS Red Oak HS Richardson HS Waxahachie HS This contest should still have a good lineup, even with many DFW Region contests happening on this day!
  21. BugWub24
    Does anyone happen to know what’s happening at Waxahachie? I noticed their head director position was posted to the TMEA website. Of all the changes so far in Area C, this could potentially be the biggest change yet.
  22. BugWub24
    For those wondering, the head director is going to launch the Richland band program in Prosper ISD.
  23. BugWub24
    Keller Central is a maybe for this contest - they have WMI on their calendar, but is incorrectly set for October 4th. They also have HEB listed for September 27th.
  24. BugWub24
    Interesting to see Lovejoy on this list. They currently have Wylie Marching Invitational listed on their calendar for this day.
  25. BugWub24
    I believe the East director is retiring. As for Sachse, definitely will be interesting to see who they go with!
