Haven’t seen someone make one yet so here you go.

So to start things off, do we think there’s a possibility we’ll see some Area C’s move to Area B?

Kaufman is coming back to 4A from 5A

Not much changes here other than

• Celina & Community move up into 5A Area B or C
• Kaufman drops down into this area or Area B from 5A Area C
• Tarkington drops down in 3A Area C
• Lindale & Jacksonville (Both Military) drops down from 5A Area C

If I am correct, the alignment changes put the total # of bands for 4A Area C to 44.

Geographically Kaufman is located between Ferris-Area B and Kemp-Area C. There are huge implications for the competitive balance for C and B depending on where Kaufman goes.

Based on state results from last year, if you take out PC and Celina, both areas are fairly balanced in terms of competition with area C maybe having a slight advantage. Area C also gets credit for military bands that earn 1s but don’t compete at area. It will be very interesting to see how this develops.
