This is the worst streaming quality I've ever seen for a band contest. Stream started late cause they couldn't get internet, video quality is 480p, atrocious multi cam with no option for high cam, stream has a 3-4 minute delay at minimum, etc. Jesus christ UIL please go back to Box5 or FloMarching... It must be really bad if you're asking for Flo!

I would have never thought that I would actually be asking for Flo back but NFHS has given us the worst stream I've seen since Flo's Grand Nats in 2016.

LeanderMomma posted this on txbands.... Friends we need to BAND TOGETHER and ask UIL to allow the SMBC to be streamed by a service that is more Band friendly and not so much Football friendly! Oh my goodness has the state of Texas not PROVEN to UIL that our marching bands are absolutely incredible? This is shameful to me that a FOOTBALL streaming service is allowed first right of refusal over services like Box5 or FloMarching who SPECIALIZE in streaming marching bands! I’m so aggravated by this. It’s an insult to our great marching bands, honestly. They deserve better. Having said all that, PLEASE direct your streaming complaints directly to music@uiltexas.org. Please, please, please!!!!

Had to distance myself at home from other family members at home ‘cause I was sick and had to use another tv and airplay it instead. That was annoying haha

I was excited because this afternoon's prelims have a high cam and NFHS' version of the director's view. I like having both up at the same time. As soon as I logged into the high cam the other stream went offline saying "oops looks like you're watching in two places..."
Super lame...

I have Covid fog so maybe it’s me but this livestream today has sucked big time. The audio is horrible. I sent an email to UIL complaining. Also, am I missing a live thread for today’s 6A?

Also, am I missing a live thread for today’s 6A? 100% not the covid fog, this livestream is unacceptable. And this is the only UIL thread here, most of the discussion will be happening on txbands if you want to see what people have to say.

How long has UIL military style States Championships been going on? 2020 was the first year of UIL State Military Championships. I believe that first year was only 2A & 4A.

Asking for a friend. My kids were never given any drill until aug 1st. So from my understanding that’s what it is- they can practice general choreography actions- and different marching techniques, but they had zero idea of any spacing or spots on the field until they got the drill on Aug 1st.

Asking for a friend. The only thing you get for drill learning before August 1st are probably grid-like drill pages and marching several sets in between so you can learn how to read drill. Going from dot-to-dot and all the procedure that comes with it, from my personal experience anyway. I can’t imagine how getting show drill sheets early would help you in any way besides if you have dot books and write them in.
