Good Luck to all Area D bands next Saturday! I must admit, sadly, that reading these comments is depressing. Admittedly, I support Georgetown East View. I love their show this year, and I think if they weren't forced to compete against bands that are easily twice as big as them, they could do well and maybe even advance. Reading the comments here though, reality sets in. Today's UIL, is not like it was back in my day. Today, it seems like the bigger the band, the better the chance you have of competing and advancing. I used to be in awe of the 5A schools back before there was a 6A. I suppose there can always be a David to a Goliath, but the reality is that it's a fools errand to think that way. I do truly wish all the bands good luck, I just wish it was a truly level playing field where they competed by band size, and not overall enrollment. No matter who moves on, I hope the Champ comes from Area D.
