Marching Band Lone Star Cup Points To Count For 2 Years

By Stephanie Ramirez, Communications Officer | Thursday, October 06, 2011 4:35 PM

Beginning with the 2011-12 school year, points earned by marching bands for the UIL Lone Star Cup will carry over for two school years.

Previously, Area and State Marching Band points were counted only for the year each conference competed. Under this system, schools competing could only contribute to UIL Lone Star Cup points every other year.

To be consistent with the State Marching Band Contest, points earned by participating bands will carry over until the next competition year.

This change requires no work for the schools or band directors. UIL Lone Star Cup points are tabulated in the UIL office and results for each year become official on July 1. To read more about the UIL Lone Star Cup, please visit http://www.uiltexas.org/lone-star-cup.
