The UIL Marching Contest State Champs

Congratulations to all who qualified to participate in the 2018 U.I.L. State Marching Band Contest. All of the bands who
performed at State deserve special recognition. These bands have been practicing since last summer, working hard on their
marching program. All have made their schools and community proud! The U.I.L. marching competition started in October with
hundreds of bands competing at the Region level. The top bands were then chosen to compete at the Area level. Finally, the top
