It's official, they have decided to keep the guard and add the dance team. All I'll say is this: As a band director, your main priority should be students, not scores. To all those who defended Round Rock's guard either on social media, here, Reddit, or anywhere else, you are all rock stars. I am so happy to hear that you succeeded, and good luck with your future seasons!

From what I've heard, UIL loses money hosting State, which makes me wonder why they switched to every year. Bands who make State are required to go. I can't remember if they are allowed to opt out of Area. If you were a 5A band going to Nats and State this year, your students would be missing an entire week of school plus the Friday of BOA San Antonio. I did Grand Nats twice in high school. Catching up after missing three days sucked. I can't imagine a week or more. I could understand if UIL wanted to do Area every year and just determine an Area champion on non-state years. State every year for everyone just seems like a huge hassle.

2023 BOA San Antonio Super Regional (Nov. 3 & 4)
AlphaOmega replied to LeanderMomma's topic in UIL: Upcoming Contests
There are too many good bands going for me to make a placement prediction, other than Vandy taking everything. But I can list my locks and bubbles. There are a lot of Bubbles, especially after TMC on Saturday. LOCKS Vista Vandy Cedar Park Cedar Ridge Round Rock Woodlands Reagan Rouse BUBBLES Westwood Lake Travis Westlake McNeil Bowie Bridgeland CTJ Marcus Leander LD Bell? Is there anyone I missed? McNeil really jumped high at TMC so I'm including them as a bubble for the first time in my life. Round Rock improved a lot since Austin. CTJ has gone down in placements since last year and was beaten by Bridgeland in Katy. Bowie has done better in the past, but I don't want to count them out yet. How has LD Bell done? I feel like I haven't heard from them in forever. Same with Marcus. Westwood's show is great, so I'm including them as a bubble as well. Edit: I put Westlake twice, lol -

Predictions: 1. Vandy 2. Rouse 3. Cedar Park 4. Round Rock 5. Westlake 6. Lake Travis 7. Leander 8. Drip 9. M&G Johnson 10. McNeil 11. Brandeis 12. Glenn The bottom half is give or take. There aren't as many bands going this weekend as I thought. I'll be getting there after the eclipse. I hope it looks super cool at the KRAC! -

2023 Vista Ridge Marching Festival (Oct. 7th)
AlphaOmega replied to Samuel Culper's topic in UIL: Upcoming Contests
Respectfully, I disagree about them winning. I saw them and Brandeis at BOA today, and Brandeis was definitely stronger. I've also seen McNeil, and they're the strongest they've ever been. I have not seen O'Connor, so I can't say if they'll beat Glenn or not just yet. I will say, Glenn definitely is rising up. They had a great performance today. Enjoyed their show a lot. -
2023 Vista Ridge Marching Festival (Oct. 7th)
AlphaOmega replied to Samuel Culper's topic in UIL: Upcoming Contests
My personal predictions based on gut feeling: 1st - Brandeis 2nd - McNeil 3rd - O'Connor 4th - Weiss 5th - John Paul Stevens 6th - Churchill 7th - Glenn 8th - New Braunfels 9th - Stony Point 10th - Belton -

Round Rock has had a JV since 2015, but they only started competing at VRHS last year. -

2022 6A UIL State
AlphaOmega replied to BandFan59's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I just saw Reagan's show. I feel so bad that their electronics failed. I heard that a lot of these bands have Plan B's for in the event electronics fail. They also have "we are about to go overtime, stop and evacuate the field" protocols. It's best to be prepared, I guess. -
2022 6A UIL State
AlphaOmega replied to BandFan59's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Wasn’t expecting Vandy to win, but congrats to them! I thought RR would place higher. That’s the best show to come from them since 2012. I still think the way they judge UIL is dumb and unfair but that’s my educated opinion. -

UIL 6A Area H Contest 2022
AlphaOmega replied to TRBbaritone's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
This is a pretty spicy Area too (I'm from Area D). It'd be interesting to see Brandeis overtake Lake Travis. They've risen quite a bit. -

Since this Area is pretty spicy, and because I'm going, I'll make a predictions list 'cause why not? Cedar Ridge CTJ Reagan Round Rock Westwood Bowie Drip Churchill McNeil Weiss/San Marcos/Midway/Idk who spot No. 10 is gonna go to. I've seen most of the bands I listed. Super excited for Saturday. Y'all will see me, but you won't know it's me
