[edit] Marching Competetions
The following text was removed from the Marching band page as it's a bit too specific for such a general article. It has some good information but needs some copyediting to take care of NPOV issues. Also, the list may or may not be appropriate for the article: - Upholder 20:29, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Like Texas High School Football, Texas High School Band and Band Competitions are particularly competitive. Public School extra-curricular activities, which includes marching band, are goverened by the University Interscholastic League, or UIL. UIL holds a series of contests every fall in order to determine the state champion for High School Marching Bands. The state is divided up into 5 categories for high schools, 1A to 5A. 1A, 2A, and 4A have the UIL State marching contest on odd numbered years, 3A and 5A have it on even numbered years. This process is very rigorous and extremely tough to break through. As every year passes in Texas, more and more High School bands get very good, so the standards of excellence keeps getting pushed higher and higher. The 5A state marching contest is so competitive, that the last two times it has been held (02 and 04) the previous year's 4A state champion (Cedar Park and Richland) did not even qualify for the 5A state marching contest (for which they had each become eligible).
