2024 UIL Region 10 Marching Band Contest Thread!

[rocketfan86]

Greetings everyone! I'm a little late in posting this but it's that time of year again and the return of the annual UIL Region 10 Marching Band Contest!

The contest will be held Saturday October 19, 2024 at Port Neches-Groves HS Stadium. The schedule shows 29 bands competing to earn that coveted Division 1 rating and the chance to move on to state competition.

Admission is $5 to get in.

As of right now, I plan to attend and record all the bands. If y'all want, come say hi to me as I battle the weather elements and try to get the best video/audio recordings of our local high school bands.

Once I get back home, I will start to edit the video and audio, then post onto my YouTube.

Weather forecast looks to be a pleasant day with highs reaching the low 80s with a bit of a breeze throughout. I still have to apply the sunscreen as it will be mostly sunny.

A reminder that ALL classifications will have the opportunity to advance past region to area/state competition.
Keep in mind that we have separate open class (contemporary-style) and military class tracks for state marching band contest.

Some of my thoughts:
- One school missing from last year (2023) includes Warren.
- Port Arthur Memorial returns to contest after a 2-year absence (2021).
- Lamar University will be performing twice for exhibition as they did last year.
- Beaumont United and West Brook High Schools dropped down to 5A after the last UIL realignment, meaning there are no 6A schools.
- Currently we have 3-2A, 8-3A, 12-4A, 6-5A bands participating.

Best wishes to all participating bands as they finish learning their music/drill and polishing up their shows in the next week.
