I could honestly see Highland Park as a legitimate state finals contender.

If everyone else who received 1s last year receives a 1st division this year Area C will be taking 6 bands to state. If so I definitely see it being Waxahachie, Highland Park, Forney, North Forney, Poteet, and Red Oak that advance to state.

Here is the schedule for the contest.

 

27 bands will be performing, BUT 30 (31) made 1s at Region! I knew that last cycle a few military bands opted out of Area C and I knew they were in Region 20 and 21 but couldn't find results anywhere and had to do some digging.

 

The 3 military bands I can confirm** made 1s are Ennis, Nacogdoches, and Whitehouse. I couldn't find anything on Hallsville but I can confirm that the other military bands unfortunately did not receive all 1s.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this'll be the first time ever that Area C has 6 bands advance to State! What a growth! I believe that back in 2011 they only had 3 :)

 

My locks for finals in no order are:

• Poteet

• Highland Park

• Royse City

• The Colony

• Waxahachie

• Forney

 

I also expect Midlothian and North Forney to be in Finals but I have yet to see their shows this year so I am not certain.

 

The bands I see on the bubble are Lake Dallas, Denton, Lindale, Texas, Naaman Forest, and Red Oak.

 

The bands I have NO IDEA about that could possibly make it are Denton Ryan, Northwest, Pine Tree, Sulphur Springs, and Mount Pleasant.

 

My predictions for State advancers in order are:

1) Waxahachie

2) Forney

3) Poteet

4) HP

5) The Colony

6) Royse City

 

Best of luck to all the bands this weekend!

I thought only five would advance since there are 27 programs in Prelims even though 30 programs made 1s at Region (1 for 5 Rule).

Weren't the rules changed to include everyone who made 1s, not everyone who attends Area?

 

Edit: Or am I going crazy?

Region 2 was held today, that was just a tentative schedule until it was held, 5 bands are advancing to state, 28 bands received first divisions, Denton, Ryan, and Braswell made second divisions.

Well that's unfortunate :/ Don't understand why they'd release the schedule on the website if it wasn't official yet.

It's a rule that UIL has to release the schedule the Monday before area by 4 p.m. Region 2 was just delayed till Wednesday due to rain on Saturday

In regards to the Military Bands, both Llindale and Hallsville received Superior Ratings at Region 21 Marching Contest. Only Lindale is coming from Region 21 because the Military Band folks think that the judging is rigged against them.  I would agree that probably North Forney or Forney would be a favorite, however I have been to far to many Area Contests where Military Bands outmarched  and outplayed "Competitive Bands" and got no credit.

 

Last year when two military Bands made the AAAA Finals, you would have thought that the fix was in. The same comments were made in 2015 when White Oak made the Finals in 3A.
