A lot of movement for this area next year. Here's what we have going on in terms of realignment:

Moving up to 6A: Red Oak

Moving down to 5A: Garland, Mesquite, Rowlett, Lancaster

Moving down to 4A: Kaufman, Jacksonville

 

This kind of opens up the area, but not really, as the area will continue to sit at 4 state advancers, unless of course a few of the Dallas ISD bands get 1s. Finalists for 2026 should be, in no particular order: Poteet, North Mesquite, Lakeview Centennial, Highland Park, Garland, Mesquite, Rowlett, West Mesquite, Mount Pleasant, and Terrell.

The addition of Garland, Mesquite, and Rowlett will make things very interesting here. Mesquite was the higher scoring of the three last year, and should do pretty well here, but I wouldn't be surprised if either Garland or Rowlett are pretty close to state as well.
