Freedom Field is in Iowa Colony not New Caney. That has been a rumor for a few years now but nothing has changed.

Schools in this Area: 30 Alvin, Shadow Creek, Manvel, Brazoswood, Channelview, Clear Lake, Clear Brook, Clear Falls, Clear Creek, Clear Falls, Deer Park, Dickinson, SFA, Bush, Clements, Dulles, Elkins, Hightower, Ridge Point, Travis, Goose Creek Mem, Fulshear, George Ranch, Foster, Dobie, Pasadena Memorial, Sam Rayburn, South Houston, Pearland, Dawson

Champions: 2018: Pearland 2020: Pearland 2021: Pearland 2022: Pearland 2023: Pearland I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Pearland will win.

Important to note that Menard is on their second director change since they won state in 2021. Last year they were unable to even field a show... Incredible.

UIL has the wrong system on their website. They are working to get that fixed now.

They will be 5A next year as they will have 4 complete grade levels in 2024. Right now they have freshman, sophomores, juniors and SOME seniors.

Panther Creek doesn't even have senior in their school and they got 3rd in State prelims. What. The. Heck.

I will reveal that top 5 in prelims were (in random order): Smithson Valley Hendrickson Pflugerville Lake Belton Jack C. Hays

Dawson advanced to state in 2020 & 2022, and every year they could have before then. Dawson is the most consistent program to advance here, plus we all know what happen in 2021 with the judging. Brazoswood should be ok, The direct achievement of music and visual program shouldn't be affected too much. Strong programs stay strong through these things 9 times out of 10.

1. Dawson 2. Pearland 3. Dickinson 4. Clear Brook 5. Clements 6. Brazoswood 7. Stephen F. Austin 8. Shadow Creek 9. Pasadena Memorial 10. Clear Falls (This is taking into to account Pearland's first-to-perform draw time curse)

Really surprised that people are putting Dawson so low considering their BOA success and with how clean they are. The hype around Pasadena Memorial is legit, they were so good at UIL Region.

Did anyone see Lovejoy this morning? They just finished their UIL region contest and received straight 2nd divisions. Is this reasonable?

Something else to mention is that Pearland goes on first in Finals, that spot never is favorable.

1. Seven Lakes 2. Wylie East 3. Cypress Woods 4. James E. Taylor 5. Dawson 6. Cy-Fair ----------- 7. Friendswood 8. Clear Brook 9. Oak Ridge 10. Jordan 11. Klein Oak 12. Stephen F. Austin ------------- 13. Obra D. Tompkins 14. Tomball Memorial 15. Foster Music: Seven Lakes Visual: Wylie East GE: Seven Lakes I have indeed seen ALL of those shows

Judges really didn't seem to like the content of their show. I think they sounded really good like always.

Round Rock in 11th in Prelims?? - I thought their performance was really solidly in finals. McCallum in 17th in Prelims??? - Their Performance was so energetic and fun. They also sounded great, I wonder why they placed lower than Hutto and MGJ...
