Bowie and Trinity are area B, so they dont count, I think theres a glitch in your sheet or something lmao

The list was uploaded by region 2, here’s the link. It seemed funky because knowing they’re listed in a different area BUT, I know one or two areas have individual districts switching to a different area than the rest of the region so thought this may be one of those instances. Here’s the link region 2 uploaded.

99% I wouldn't add Bowie or Trinity until we get an area schedule, the individual districts switching to other regions is more common on the lower As but is less common in 6A, and I don't see why they would add Bowie/Trinity to this area at this point in the season

It's most likely a typo since there isn't anything listed on the TMEA alignment site that says this would be the area Bowie and Trinity participate in

For fun though I'll make a prediction based on the bands I've heard and including the 2 area B schools lol:
1. Marcus
2. Hebron
3. Flower Mound
4. Prosper [TIE] (no particular order since both would advance regardless)
5. Boyd [TIE]
6. Wylie East
7. Wylie
8. McKinney High
9. Trinity
10. Rock Hill
11/15: Little Elm, Plano West/East/Sr., Braswell

Will be strange not to see any of these bands at Area C this year.

What contest (non Uil) are the big 3 going to this year? Maybe we can see them elsewhere. 
 

I know the past few years we have seen Hebron at Mesquite, but if not going there for area they may forego

Rockwall is only at BOA Prosper this year after doing Prosper and Bedford last year. Rockwall Heath is doing their first BOA (at least in recent years) at Waco.

If anyone wants to check out how the Wylie ISD shows are coming along pre-Area J, both Wylie High and Wylie East will be at BOA Prosper, along with all of McKinney ISD and Prosper ISD

WAIT IS THIS REAL?!?!?

Its insane all these bands are so good I'm really looking forward to what happens in this area.

[Dodydo]

how many bands are advancing to state this year again? Isnt it 4?

Yes, unless I think 2 bands get a second division, which realistically only the newly 6A groups (Princeton, and the new Denton school) are in danger of receiving, but I find that scenario very unlikely

 

4 bands to state is the current situation, unfortunately

It is 4, which is vied for by Wylie East, Wylie, Prosper, and Boyd. My money is on Wylie East but Im just a little bit biased😂

[clarinetistkai05]

I managed to see a video of Flower Mound, and OH MY. Their show this year is insane, and I love how produced it is already! I just know if I somehow see Flower Mound, I will be in awe!!

Yes I saw Marcus and Hebron too, but my thoughts will come sooner rather than later.

If its not on youtube it was likely a leak, which for LISD is gonna be hard to come by unless you know people lol

Not an awful stadium, just not the level of McKinney/Prosper  and yeah it will be very easy to get the bands on and off the field, if they still do a full retreat. I’m pretty sure Area C was the only one to do it, so it could possibly just be a DM retreat. 

Very cool moment when C  does it, hope J does too.

Boyd has full band retreat on their schedule for area, so its most likely the case since the main contenders from area C (and coordinators outside of the Mesquite folks) are here, and so I dont doubt that Area C and J would do full band retreat given how the groups here are much more “modern” in terms of the ways of thinking

Also heres my October prediction, Id normally wait a lot longer but many groups have put a ton of show on the field recently and Im starting to create some solid (about as solid as you can get for pre-area) takes that differs my opinion greatly nowadays:

1. Flower Mound

2. Marcus

3. Hebron

4. Boyd/Prosper [TIE] 

5. Boyd/Prosper [TIE] 

6. McKinney High

7. Wylie

8. Rock Hill

9. Wylie East 

10. Little Elm 

11-15: Plano East, Lewisville, Plano West, Allen, Plano Sr.

Im confident in Little Elms ability to make area finals, visually they look cleaner than the groups below them, and music is starting to click in, now I dont think theyd beat Wylie East, Rock Hill, Wylie, or High in BOA reasonably, but I could see them stealing some 7-8 captions and potentially sneaking up to 9th, and WEast just has plenty of dirt that we will need to see them clean before judging completely, they could be 5th, and they could also be 9th currently
 

[SousaLord]

Can anyone find a video of Hebron or Marcus's performances? It would be nice to see the top bands in this area.

[ChristopherRoden]

I think everyone is pretty confident in LISD taking all three medals here this year. I'm really curious who will take that 4th (and last?) spot to state. I'm really enjoying Wylie East and Rock Hill this season and haven't seen enough of the McKinney's yet. I'm sure Prosper will be up there too though. 

[BoneGuy4]

It’s honestly really funny to me with the difference between scores that Rock Hill has when going from BOA scoresheets to UIL scoresheets.

As a Wylie East member (and soloist (twice)) our entire season is structured to meet Area J head on. I can confirm we’ll be fighting tooth and nail for that 4th spot
