Overview

This is the staple competition for UIL, occurring every year in the spring in all regions of the state. Bands prepare a concert program of three pieces chosen from the Prescribed Music List and perform for a panel of three judges who rate the bands with one of five ratings. Again, the comparison is only with a standard of excellence, not with other bands in the contest. Immediately following the concert, bands move to another room to sightread a piece of music chosen by the band's classification. The music for sight-reading is composed specifically for the contest and addresses certain fundamentals that are aligned with the curriculum for each classification. This is the musical equivalent of a statewide achievement test for Band.
