SEAstar23

*OFFICIAL* 25 bands qualified for prelims, 10 finalists and 5 bands advancing to The State Marching Contest.

*OFFICIAL* This contest will have 27 bands performing in prelims, 10 in finals with 5 bands advancing to The UIL State Marching Band Contest.

Let’s also not forget that Skyline earned all 1st division ratings from tough judges but was DQ’d due to a result of a Director action. They very well could squeak out a 1 again. When they play at what they call “Uil volume” that band sounds and looks great.

I’ve never seen a penalty given out to a band at the Area or State level and there are plenty who have broken rules. In regards to Wakeland’s situation, pointing fingers does no good but I will say I have been present for a UIL contest in which a major 6A Band had tech issues, started late but still got a 1 because the Band Director told the drum major to stop after the ballad, mid-performance. Although it was awkward for the performers, they got off the field in time, got straight 1s and a heck of a story to tell.

The Lack of Drumline isn’t as big of a problem as how they sound currently.

OFFICIAL: 21 bands are competing in prelims here and 4 bands will advance to the State Marching Contest.

OFFICIAL: 17 Bands will be performing in Prelims here with 3 bands advancing to the State Marching Contest.

OFFICIAL: 26 Bands will be performing in Prelims here with 5 bands advancing to the State Marching Contest.

15 Bands will be performing in Prelims Here with 3 bands advancing to state.

Looking at the Draw Order these are the most reasonable state spots: 1. Bridgeland (Clean) 2. Cypress Woods (Clean and Intriguing) 3. Jordan (Clean and Good Draw time) 4. Cy-Fair (Will perform First in Prelims and Finals) 5. Seven Lakes (Show will always be Dirty) 6. Tompkins (They Peak Late)

Dawson did the same exact show as they did last week but cleaned a bit.

Did anyone watch Dawson to know why the ended up getting 20th? Their score dropped from last week by over a point.

After seeing their show, lack of drumline, I would say it was surprising.

I’ve seen all 4. Pearland is strong in visual but not as strong in Music as they have been. Tompkins is about where they have been. SFA and Dawson have staff from the 2008-2012ish era of SFA. They both sound very good but need time to clean visually.

Both Pearland and TWHS Had almost complete staff changes.

This is the overall prelims order. Should a band not advance to area they will be taken out from this draw order.

Hey Y’all, I’m a Pearland insider and this is going to make y’all sad but Pearland is not going to BOA Grand Nationals in 2022 for a few reasons, the biggest being that due to Mr. Munoz’s sudden leave we only have an interim director of bands, Mr. Brown, and while he was with Cedar Park when they went to Indianapolis in 2016, because we do not have a set-in-stone director of bands there is no possible way to plan a trip like this, also in Pearland ISD you are only allowed to travel out-of-state every other year, once again confirming that we will not be attending. Do not worry we will be all around Texas next year I’m sure, just not in Indiana.
