just_a_texas_girl Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Has anyone heard about this? I have been told the contest will start two hours earlier so 8 bands who did not get to march in their respective finals because of weather will be coming to the State contest. Is this for exhibition or are these an additional 8? If they are competing will that change the number of bands advancing to finals? Does anyone know who these 8 are?

I highly doubt if this were to be the case that they would start 2 hours earlier seeing that the contest already starts at 7:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I don't see anything about this on the UIL or any of the director sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_a_texas_girl Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 The information came from a vendor that was requested to back their starting time up two hours because of the addition of 8 bands that would be marching because of what I posted before. I was looking for more details or confirmation of this information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRaider13 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I would think that this isn't true...I can't even name something like this ever before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb05 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Just to clarify, are you saying that there were area contests where finals were held but not every band was able to perform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_a_texas_girl Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Two clarifications. I have NOT been able to verify this information today. Goodness knows I have tried. I have not gotten any denials which is a bit odd, but certainly no confirmations. RCB...I am not saying that at all. This is JMO, but if I was a director who was a bubble band and my kids were on the losing end of the weather stick, I might be pushing for another opportunity. Just sayin. On another note. In no way am I or was I trying to start a TXbands riot. I was told a really weird piece of information and was trying to see if anyone else had heard such weirdness.

Well if this did occur, which bands would be added in for State? I mean at Area B, the only harsh weather that occured was for the East show, and after the delay was lifted for the contest, everyone else had moderate weather. I'm just highly confused on this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just highly confused on this matter. That's what people are trying to figure out I wouldn't get any hopes up about going to state until you hear it from your director. I don't think this will happen, to be honest...I mean, only Areas B&C got finals canceled and if you add up the bands that didn't advance, you get 12...

Well maybe they'll take the first alternates from each area? That's the only thing I can come up with to get close to 8. I will keep up with this thread and see where it goes, but I'm pretty sure its either rumor, or a first in State history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
