Based on everything I have been able to see- My predictions are- 1st- Celina 2nd- Sulphur Springs 3rd- Panther Creek 4th- Davenport 5th- China Spring 6th- Fredericksburg 7th- Canyon 8th- Floresville (beat both Davenport and Calallen in prelims at Area) 9th- Calallen 10th- Krum (could also see North Lamar, West Plains, and possibly even bands such as Legacy Ranch, Freeman, or Cooper-Liberty fighting for this spot) Should be a fun one to see who advances to finals this year.

After seeing Cleveland's run at Region, something told me they would possibly win it. Congratulations to them on their first title and to Longview and Kingwood on their top 3 finishes as well!

UIL 3A State Military Finalists 2025- 7:00 pm- White Oak HS 7:15 pm- Troup HS 7:30 pm- New Diana HS 7:45 pm- West Rusk HS 8:00 pm- Sabine HS

Great run from White Oak! Troup is currently on the field. They are the final band before announcement of finalists!

White Oak has taken the field! Can't wait to see how they do.

Saw the ending to West Rusk. Seemed pretty good!

The Woodlands getting to go first 😭😭😭

Best of luck to all Military bands competing today!!!

Really unsure at the moment. Definitely see Shiner, Ganado, Rivercrest, Tenaha, Lockney, and Sundown making finals.

After watching their show on the Livestream for Area J, I believe they will take it. Vista Ridge though could also have a chance.

Also, updated the topics for all current qualifiers (4 remain for even conferences).

Well Area yesterday was interesting. A lot of results played out differently than I expected, but now we get to officially congratulate all who are advancing to the state marching contest in 2A/4A/6A!!!

Congratulations to all on an amazing day yesterday and best of luck at the State Championships!! Also, tomorrow will have the final 4 even Area's (4A Area C and 6A Area E, Area F, and Area I). Best of luck to all of ya'll who have performances tomorrow!

I believe some of that is true. Forget which school did it, but they started so early that they left like 4-6 minutes on the actual clock. Got them DQ'ed

Definitely enjoyed Plano Sr.'s show! Loved their use of The Rolling Stones

Ok that would make sense. Thank you!

First time this season seeing Hebron. Did they start earlier than they should have? Or is that just a normal part of the show? The show still looks and sounds Amazing!

Amazing performance from McKinney!!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it out for Finals, but will be watching the event via livestream. Excited to see how it plays out today!!

I could see both still have a fair chance at Finals. Probably be 7th-10th (Emerson) and 8th-10th (Liberty).

Good morning to all. Today is the day most have been waiting for (outside of the state championship, BOA San Antonio, and Grand Nationals). Today begins the process of who will get to be an Area Finalist, and who will get to be called a State Qualifier. Even if the results are not what you hoped for, remember that we are all proud of everything that you all have accomplished this season and you should be proud as well. Best of luck to all today at Area, and let's hope that your road to State gets to continue!!!

Personally, I have Legacy Ranch making it out of Area D, but would be cool to see Long Creek/Freeman make it as well. Hope Fredericksburg can make finals this year!

Want to congratulate Garrison HS (2A) on advancing to their first State Championship!!

Would love to see Collinsville advance!

I feel like we will see a new champion in the 5A/6A conference. I feel Cleveland is doing very well this year!
