UIL Realignment 2024-2025
lhbenlee replied to BandFan95's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
The new high school will be in the north part of the district and focused on relieving the drastic increases for Glenn and Rouse. It may pull CP and others back down some but with the extreme numbers projected for the northern LISD schools, I also expect continual rezoning to maintain balance so I don't think it's a given that it will be temporary. If 7A is introduced later this decade based on continued population growth in the state, it's all up in the air as you likely get lower cutoffs for 5A and 6A as well which would keep bubble schools in the higher class. I think predicting beyond one cycle right now is a fool's errand. -
UIL Realignment 2024-2025
lhbenlee replied to BandFan95's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
That is not necessarily true. LISD has rezoning that kicks in starting in Fall of 2024 and it will make a significant difference to all of the schools. This UIL snapshot and realignment are before any rezoning happens so it does not take it into account. The rezoning is specifically designed to address declining numbers at CP, Vista Ridge, and Vandegrift and increasing numbers at Leander, Rouse, and Glenn. The projections are that all LISD schools will be near or within 6A class sizes in the next 2 years based on the middle school populations and re-zoning. A 7th high school is being planned. Here is a link to the district projections. Note that even the 2024-2025 school year would have CP as close to 6A as Leander is now and all other LISD schools in 6A based on the new cutoff. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xi13D2Qdqu1GCZkFMjik75H0ln5uvG4J/view -

UIL Realignment 2024-2025
lhbenlee replied to BandFan95's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
This source thinks the cutoff will be closer to 2285 since some schools will opt up into 6A although somewhere between 2265 and 2285. It will be interesting to see where it falls. -
It looks like the updated schedule is posted and it shows 21 bands competing with 10 making finals. http://www.uilmusicregion11.com/uploads/1/3/5/3/13535811/1_updated_10-15-23_5a_2023_area_h_45_min_warm-up.pdf @LeanderMomma

It looks like 9 of 10 5A bands in Region 11 received 1s bringing the total for Area H to 22 bands and 4 state qualifiers.

Actually the first bass drummer fell and then the tenor tripped over the bass drummer which caused the harness to come undone. I felt so bad but they all kept on and eventually were all good.

This is not the final schedule. It includes every possible 5A band in the area (24 total) and assumes a schedule including all bands from each region. We don't yet know how many spots are actually available for state. Region 32 was last night advancing all 5 5A bands Region 29 was today advancing 8 of 9 5A bands Region 11 looks like they have their contest on Saturday with 10 5A bands participating With 13 bands currently at Area, we need 2 of 10 from Region 11 to get 3 state qualifiers and 7 of 10 from Region 11 to get 4 state qualifiers. 4 will be the maximum Area H can send short of one of the judging exceptions kicking in to add one more.

2023 BOA San Antonio Super Regional (Nov. 3 & 4)
lhbenlee replied to LeanderMomma's topic in UIL: Upcoming Contests
5A UIL State is after BOA SA. With UIL State now every year for all classes, they are alternating which weekend the odd and even classes perform. It will flip next year, then back, and so on. All the odd classes went before BOA SA in 2021 when they held state for all classes post COVID. -
There were changes to the rules and judging sheets that year as well. Perhaps those changes suited the strengths of Texas bands better. It’s probably a combination of things rather than just one of the things mentioned in this thread. https://www.hornrank.com/2017/05/boa-releases-updated-rulebook.html?m=1

2021 5A UIL SMBC (Nov. 1 & 2)

I believe it's the same judges for finals tomorrow. Does anyone know if they judge the same caption or do they switch around like at Area? -

UIL 6A Area D 2021
lhbenlee replied to itsjaredh97's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
The show is announced with :45 seconds remaining in the 5 minute setup. The drum major announcement is at :20 seconds remaining. Nothing is judged in the 5 minute setup. Judging starts at the 8 minute timer and the announcement times remain regardless of when the band starts. -
UIL 5A Area D 2021
lhbenlee replied to Dog885's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I understand where you're coming from and you didn't call out the kids. I believe the reaction is primarily to the following statement which was pointed and negative toward the CTJ program: Even if not the intent, this ends up coming off as a knock on the kids since it's the program as a whole and usage of the word "disgusted" is very negative. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the resources being used and how they manifest in the design of shows but it's going to be a more constructive conversation if it avoids the negativity. -

Just to make sure everyone knows, those are not real grand pianos. Those are synthesizers cleverly dressed in props to look like real grand pianos. I'm not getting into the larger issue discussed here as I think subsequent posts address it well but I do want to correct misinformation.
