UIL 6A Area B 2025

[CosmicLimbo]

While I’m here

1: Coppell: the kings of Area B for almost the last decade. Don’t see that changing this year.

2/3: Bell or Keller: this is my favorite Bell show in a while, especially the Vivaldi stuff and think they can overtake Keller with a good run.

4: Timber Creek: Out of all the bubble bands here, they feel the most complete to me and I can’t see them missing.

5: SLC: I love what they do visually and with the right run could be state bound.

6: Keller Central: I always see KC around this spot, always in finals but somehow always outside the top 4. I wonder what it is they need to fully break through as I always enjoy their shows.  

7/8: Lake Ridge/SGP: SGP has beat Lake Ridge this year and KC but I’m hesitant to immediately put them in front of KC or Lake Ridge as area finals will be uncharted waters for them and both Lake Ridge and KC have been here before many times (would love to be wrong about this btw no shade at all to SGP)! 
 

9/10: Trinity/Haltom

I think SGP will pull through past keller central based off their run at the Duncanville invitational. Although they tied I believe they can do it.

southlake carroll has been a little lackluster this season, I'm not sure if I would consider them for state. I would honestly put South Grand Prairie in the fight for 4th place. Maybe less likely than Timber Creek and Keller Central, but I think they have a better shot than SLC

I agree. I think SGP really has a chance to make history this year. It has been almost 20 years since they made area finals and they’ve never made state, so this would really put SGP on the map. Do we really think that they can pull through and make top 4?

10. Trinity

 

Saturday is gonna be a bloodbath for the last state spot

[LostChoirGuy]

I finally was able to watch the video of SGP and I really loved it!  I think they have a great chance to be in finals.  I'm a little concerned that they get pretty close to playing too loud at times, past the point of it being as pretty, which can cause issues with their intonation.  Being in finals with a chance to go to state, that is a concern I could see with the adrenaline and excitement especially at this event.  It sounds like they have an awesome director though so hopefully they are helping them prep for that. 

 

Overall, I think it's really cool to see their rise over the past few years.

Coppell definitely still the obvious front runner but maybe won’t sweep and get 1’s from every judge like they did last year. Keller beat them in visual both rounds at BOA Bedford so that’s a possibility, but that was also weeks ago. I really enjoyed LD Bell’s show at HEB and Bedford so it’s good to see they showed out at Waco.

Do you think TC or SLC is doing better right now?

Hard to say. TC definitely has more consistent results but SLC has been very hit or miss, it is definitely not set in stone who will be on top between those 2

[BassistNo1]

I wonder if TC is going to have a season like Kellers past and be a late bloomer...

Good morning everyone! Good luck to all the bands competing here today!!! 

[DfwBandDad]

Anyone know if this is going to be livestreamed? I'm not seeing it listed on the usual NFHS website, though I do see several other UIL Area contests listed, just nothing for Area B...

I don't believe so, I think they're doing some of the Area's as a practice run for next year, and if it turns out well, they'll continue with streaming all the Area's next go around.

Good luck to all bands performing today!
