I don't know what it could be because football districts don't come out until Feb.

It would not shock me if the lines get redrawn and couple of Area C's might find themselves in Area B.

I am not sure about 5A but I'm actually expecting a couple of schools from 4A Area C and 3A Area C to move over to Area B.

I think the reason why you are not seeing alot of school growth with Area C is because it is encumbered with 3A/2A bands that are all very close to each other. There really isn't alot of 4A/5A schools out East especially schools that are known for having a decent band program. I know numerous 3A/2A schools saw declines in enrollment with students going "home school", students going back to "mexico" and several schools have students jump back and forth between districts alot or accepting/denying transfers.

Yup, my bad I was talking to some friends about Area B and just for some reason had it on my mind when typing.

They got 2nd at 5A Area B this past season and finished ahead of Lakeview Cenntinnial who got 3rd. Then went to state and finished 32nd out of 38 bands.

Look out for Kaufman. They are a program on the rise and made it to State at 5A. I could see them making Finals at State.

Any ideas of them redoing the Areas as well? I know last realignment some schools stayed in the same classification but got moved to another Area.

Would love to see you continue with 3A at least. I think there were 20 or so schools that dropped down to 3A

I don't see that happening because there are several schools that compete in football that either don't have a band or have a band that competes in contests.

Saw an article earlier that said Texas Enrollment was down over 45,000 from 2 yrs ago and with the addition of the new schools it's down to around a little over 30,000. It appears that numerous rural schools in 3A, 2A dropped enrollment including some 4A schools. It makes me curious if the 4A/3A cutoff and 3A/2A cutoff actually drops.

I texted a friend this morning who has a kid in Mineola and she told me that Mr. Best indeed has left Mineola. However, that is all that was said to me.

I am looking at some of these numbers and they are wild to the point where I think they might lower cutoffs in some places. I am seeing a ton of 4A schools that have dropped 150,100,50 students to get under the current cutoff of 545 from two years ago.

Enrollment numbers have been released https://www.uiltexas.org/files/alignments/Submitted_Enrollments_10_31_128.pdf?fbclid=IwY2xjawOlahNleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFyREx0MWxVZGE4WVNRaG1Gc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHoheLEeLP_szBo5dEOotxp1pBGhe1YJjXrumakYCxqrmJiilEDKHl8Lrjep6_aem_Mq1HvneHsfSodr-SCLOnng

I kind of agree, yes I like to watch bands but I don't want to go to a state contest and watch 40 bands compete for a State Title where the start time is at 8 in the morning and goes into the late night.
