Dave609 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hey ya'll, so back in 2018, they were only supposed to send three bands, since they had 19 bands, but they sent 4. Does anyone know why they did it? Could they do it again this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year they are taking 4 with the amount of bands that got 1st division. Hope that helped Dave609 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone would have to dig up the exact ordinals but essentially Leander was ranked 3rd by two music judges and 3rd by 1 visual judge so they qualified to state based on this fact alone. Any band that gets a 3rd or higher from two music judges and one visual judge also qualifies to state and Leander fit that criteria. Leander finished 1 point below Westlake, so they didn’t tie but Leander still advanced. StandHorn and LeanderMomma 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEDude Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I haven't seen much from Westlake this year. I'd need to see it to believe it though if Brandeis were to beat them. I'd be all for it. It'd be huge for NISD. This feels like a stronger season for Del Río and a weaker season for most other NISD schools that normally do well in finals. That's why I personally think Del Río will come out around 6th. TRBbaritone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to see Westlake at Region, they are looking good again this year and looking like Westlake. Also Lake Travis was much improved from earlier in the season and they will be in the hunt as well.

It was very peculiar all around but the judges ultimately got the best bands to state so I guess that’s what matters. gregorydf01 and lost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I think the advancers will be Lake Travis, Westlake, Vandegrift and Vista Ridge but I wouldn’t mind seeing Brandeis take a spot. I can’t remember if Brandeis has ever gone to state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Also genuine question and no harm meant to the Del Río program, but is there show this year not the same show they performed in 2020? Isn’t there a rule against performing the same show twice at least for UIL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be that their music is very similar but their drill is different, Uil only requires students to learn new drill in this case. So technically they're following the rules.

I don't think people out of band realize how much prep time a show needs before a performance time. And that's if the performance is at a nearby venue. It's at least 3-4 hours before hand it will be an early early morning for Clark and Taft I forgot where area was. I think it's in Judson this time. Not at all that nearby. It's like the opposite tip of San Antonio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandHorn Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Just out of curiosity, why was Area H created? I know it started in 2016 but I’m still confused on why was areas changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEDude Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 What the directors explained to us back then was that Area G was too large and relatively uncompetitive and Area D was holding back great programs. Now they formed an area out of a bit of old G and a bit of old D. It did make me sad at the time since my band was for sure not making state anymore. It is what's best for the bands though. The improvement in certain NISD bands has been undeniable in the last years. gregorydf01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbassoon Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I see Brandeis taking it, they have a lot of good momentum coming from their finals appearance at TMC two years ago; however, don't sleep on Del Rio as they have been rapidly improving as well. DR could very well be in the top half of finals with a good run. TRBbaritone and ksacm06 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big excitement is building within that program. vbassoon and StandHorn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
