2016 UIL Region 10 Marching Band Contest

[rocketfan86]

Hello everyone. This is the official thread of the UIL Region 10 Marching Band Contest.

Below is the schedule for the contest. It will be at PNG Stadium on October 15. There will be a $5 entrance fee for the first time so be aware of this when attending your child's band or if you are just a spectator.

This is a state year for the 4A, and 6A classifications.

For the first time in since 2009, I will not be attending to record the entire contest. Also, my brother, who has helped record the contest with me or by himself no longer lives in Texas. I will have a friend recording in my place. I will try to get the videos up onto my youtube channel as soon as I can get the videos from that friend.

You can view previous marching contests, along with a slew of other Texas high school marching bands through the state at

I would like to know if you even went to the Region 10 Marching Contest.  If you did, you would know why Central and Ozen scored so low.

Uh, they do participate in UIL...

I'm sure the students are encouraged to do solo & ensemble contests and the past few years, Port Arthur Memorial has participated in UIL Concert & Sight-reading contest where in 2016, they earned a rating of 2 (excellent) on stage and earned straight 1s (superior) in sight-reading.

It's funny.  Even back in the days, Central got 3's...  Even when we did Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin as the them and before we did the dance style.  I was told a long time that we were pre scored even before stepping on the field..

It all comes down to the judges... and those guys are typically music wonks.  I remember a few years ago when some band played nothing but cartoon themes and the crowd(s) loved it.  I'm sure the judges would hate that routine in competition.  We were told two years ago that one of the three judges scored us poorly because we had a patriotic theme.... Not because the judge was a commie, but because the judge felt that we were playing to the cheap seats by playing taps, etc.... It's totally subjective.  It's also a fact that most of the directors are friends, colleagues, proteges, etc... they really look out for each other at contest time.
