5A state however, turns into a completely new contest with 3/4 LISD schools possibly leaving and Wakeland also maybe moving up leaving only 6 of the finalists from this year's contest to remain in the classification (Buda Hays is also going up with 2.3k enrollment)

6A state truly turns into battle of the LISDs!!!

5A state finalists that are MOST likely remaining in 5A: Lebanon Trail Argyle Lone Star Burleson Centennial Richland McCallum All of the LISD bands and Wakeland... There is definitely going to be a new first place

UIL will put out 7A when everyone stops speculating about 7A even existing lol

Tomball ISD is opening their new HS Tomball West soon (opens in 2026) and they already have a posted enrollment of 1137.15 (15th of a student???) which means TWHS (another one…) may be like Katy Freeman and begin in 4A and eventually be at 5A/6A after this realignment.

if the 6A cutoff gets as low at 2200, 6A areas will be absolutely booming

no 6A E thread yet, but just to mention that if the 6A cutoff truly ends at 2200: - West Brook - Angleton - Barbers Hill - Baytown Sterling - La Porte - Pasadena will be the schools moving up into 6A and into E (minus WB who will be going to F)

my predictions for finalists next year that gets possibly more inaccurate (ignoring schools that may go 6A but putting schools that are most likely coming to 5A because i have no real clue) Foster Friendswood A&M Consolidated College Station New Caney / George Ranch Brenham La Porte Porter Barbers Hill Kempner Freeman/Galena Park/Randle/PNG

oh okay! i saw a post saying they would move up, but it was from instagram and i don’t have a dctf subscription to check snapshot numbers. thank you!!

if this is correct then the old area E powerhouses will almost be reunited (Foster and Friendswood. Fulshear is very, very comfortably in 6A with 3.2k students...)

well if anything were to happen, it'd happen in area I

These schools are suspected to move/return to 5A Area E (again please inform me if I am missing any): Fort Bend Crawford (4A) Katy Freeman (4A) Manvel (6A) Fort Bend Dulles (6A) Fort Bend Hightower (6A) George Ranch (6A) Houston Wisdom (6A) South Houston (6A) Foster (6A) Spring Westfield (6A) New Caney (6A) Goose Creek Memorial (6A)

Unless UIL decides to make a new 5A area for the houston and surrounding areas (unlikely), here are schools that were in this area for 24-26 alignment and will most likely stay unless specified otherwise. Please tell me if I am missing anything! Region 8: Rudder A&M Consolidated College Station (rumored to move up to 6A, not confirmed) Region 9: Huntsville Lake Creek Montgomery Splendora Region 10: Beaumont United West Brook (possible move up to 6A) Dayton Nederland Port Arthur Memorial Port Neches Groves Region 13 Kempner Fort Bend Marshall Randle Lamar Consolidated (possible move down to 4A) Terry Iowa Colony Tomas Region 17 Angleton (possible move up to 6A) Friendswood Galveston Ball Santa Fe (possible move down to 4A) Texas City Region 19 Barbers Hill (possible move up to 6A) Baytown Lee Baytown Sterling (possible move up to 6A) La Porte (possible move up to 6A) Pasadena (possible move up to 6A) Region 23 (most of these bands don't always participate in marching band) Houston Austin (possible move down to 4A) Houston Chavez (possible opt up to 6A) Houston Madison Houston Milby Houston Sharpstown Houston Sterling Houston Waltrip Houston Westbury Region 27 Brenham Spring Woods Region 33 Crosby Galena Park Kingwood Park Porter West Fork

hello!! i know it's very early but i see all the other area threads for next year opening up and thought this one would be fun lol. this area may grow larger in size after realignment!

(most likely) barbers hill, college station, randle, angleton

also from 6a area e, foster moving back down, george ranch, south houston, dulles, hightower, manvel, goose creek memorial and a few others

Pasadena and Santa Fe are the 22nd and 23rd spots that are missing in the recap

was going to respond to this last night but forgot lol, but congrats to brenham for making state since 2011 and to la porte for breaking a 35 year streak!!!

wow!! did not expect galena park to place so low 😧

may have been automatic 🤷‍♂️ the schedule seems the same as the 12 band one

i thought they announced there were 10 finalists… seeing that there are 12 it’s official?

if they cancel im gonna be so sad ☹️

are they still taking 6 for state?
