I was talking to a 6A director from this area, and apparently the area is moving stadiums to Freedom Field in New Caney next year? Guessing that means 5A is in webster.

Freedom Field is in Iowa Colony not New Caney.

That has been a rumor for a few years now but nothing has changed.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Pearland will win.

[UIL 1A State Marching Contest 2023 (November 7th)]

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 4A State Marching Contest 2023 (November 1)]

UIL has the wrong system on their website.

They are working to get that fixed now.

Congrats to Celina for your state title! And congrats to everyone for outstanding runs tonight and absolutely amazing seasons!

Way too early prediction for next year: Panther Creek will win the 4A title in 2024. Super impressive performances from them.

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.

[UIL 4A State Marching Contest 2023 (November 1)]

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

What. The. Heck.

[UIL 5A Area D]

I will reveal that top 5 in prelims were (in random order):

Smithson Valley

Hendrickson

Pflugerville

Lake Belton

Jack C. Hays

FWIW, Dawson advanced to state in 2022, but not in 2021.  So they haven’t really “made it the last few years” more than some of the other schools in this area.  

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.

[Area E 6A 2023]

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)

[Area E 6A 2023]

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.

[2023 BOA Prosper (Oct. 14)]

Did anyone see Lovejoy this morning?

 

They just finished their UIL region contest and received straight 2nd divisions. Is this reasonable?

This will be an unpopular opinion. Honestly watching these groups the past few weeks. Here is my order

 

1st. Dawson

2nd. Pearland

3rd. Clear Brook

4th. Dickinson 

5th. B-Wood

6th. Austin

7th. Shadow Creek

8th Pasadena Memorial 

9th Clements

10th Clear Falls

 

First let me say Pearland is fantastic. But there is a lot of dirt in the show still. UIL is all about clean. The could care a little less about show design on the area level. In BOA Pearland will dominate  I can’t wait to see them at grand nats finals if they can get clean they will be in the top 6 for sure. Maybe even medal!!

As of right now Dawson is more clean at the moment.  They achieve the drill well and play fantastic. The music they are asking of the performers is very challenging and they are doing it a great level.

Now at state Pearland will probably be ahead of Dawson because of the variety of captions. That are offered there compared to area.

The 3-5 in my placements This could obviously change. But these groups are fantastic!! I’m really excited to see how this plays out!!  

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

Does anyone know what happened with Dawson last year at Katy? I honestly thought they did a pretty decent job.

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

[2023 BOA Austin (Sept. 23)]

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...
