I believe straight 1s is just for UIL sweepstakes, but bands only need to receive a 1 from a majority of the judges to advance to area. Could be wrong.

You are correct.  Two 1's and a 2 equates to a 1 for the band and advances the band to Area.

If a 30th band qualified for Area then 6 bands would advance to state...but because only 29 qualified only 5 will advance.

Okay yeah I knew every 5 was a state spot I just forgor!

i am wondering why groups like bowie and dripping springs are in this area even though it’s a mostly san antonio and round rock area and not austin

HS Band alignments are much like life,  they do not always make sense and you will go crazy trying to figure them out.   Alignments are one of the greater mysteries of the universe.

But it is Austin. 

Round Rock ISD has 5 high schools. Two and a half of them are in Austin. (Westwood and McNeil are in Austin. Half meaning part of Round Rock High is zoned in the Austin city limits.) For that matter, parts of Cedar Park are zoned to go to Round Rock High.  Then you have all of the AISD schools in the area along with parts of San Antonio and the spaces between. Let's be honest. Dripping Springs is now a suburb of Austin. So if you look at the IH35 corridor, the area sorta makes sense OUTSIDE of the areas north of Round Rock. That zone between Waco and Bryan just feels weird.

Is there a preliminary schedule already available for area D?

Also, is streaming available?

Houston 5a is weirder. Last year, there where some bands that had to drive an hour to get to area E, while the area I contest was literally in the same zip code (Barbers Hill, Baytown schools, La Porte, etc)

6A Area D is geographically weird to me. Waco, all the way down to San Antonio, and as far east as College Station. the Bryan/College Station 5A's arent even in Area D

Region 18 goes on Tuesday 10/11 as well. All 7 should receive 1st divisions. M&G Johnson is opting not to go to Area, but their 1st division will count towards the total numbers at Area.

Is Buda Johnson opting out of Area because they are going to Grand Nats?

[ReveriesOp24]

From Region 8, these bands will go to Area:

Harker Heights

Copperas Cove

Midway

Temple

 

So weird with only 4 from this region going due to 5 schools going from 6A to 5A

[SEAstar23]

OFFICIAL:
26 Bands will be performing in Prelims here with 5 bands advancing to the State Marching Contest.

Because they are going to Grand Nats, they have chosen to go to BOA Waco that weekend instead.

[quenslays]

the schedule is out and i only see 24 band’s competing in prelims does that mean only 4 bands go to state or is it still 5 since 26 bands scored 1 at region

I see it now. Was the link just made active recently? I thought I had checked it as recently as yesterday. I probably just needed to be patient . But yeah, thanks so much!
