Honor Band Competition Rules and Entry

In 1958 a set of rules and regulations was developed for the selection of Honor Bands. While these guidelines have been refined on several occasions, the original policies to protect the integrity of the competition have remained intact. Ultimately, however, it is the responsibility of the participating director and administration to maintain the integrity of the Honor Band process. In order for the selection system to accomplish its purpose, all involved must honestly adhere to established procedures and share responsibility for maintaining high ethical standards. In the final analysis, preparation and participation must be consistent with worthwhile educational goals without exploitation of students or the system.

The many outstanding bands that have followed established procedures through the years and emerged as TMEA Honor Bands are evidence of the strength of the concept and regulations. It is the responsibility of all music educators who participate in the honor band selection process to model their preparation and participation after these exemplary programs.

The responsibility for the Honor Band Competition lies solely within the domain of the Band Division Chair. For the sake of clarity, these guidelines are arranged by Region Level, Area Level, State Level, Ranking Procedures for Area and State Levels.

A letter from the school superintendent acknowledging the group will perform at the TMEA Convention for classes 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A and will or will not perform for classes 1C, 2C, 3C, or 1A/2A.

Revisions have been made to the payment process.

The Region entry fee, when a listening session is required, and the Area/State entry fee must be paid by June 1. All bands must pay the Area/State fee by June 1. Failure to remit the Region fee, when required, and the Area/State fee by June 1 will result in disqualification. Bands that have submitted the Area/State fee and withdraw from competition or do not qualify for the Area round will be refunded the $500 Area/State fee by TMEA. 

2019

In the summer of 2019, a committee of middle school, high school, and college directors was formed to evaluate the Honor Band process and procedures. The members of the committee included the following:

John Carroll, Robert Floyd, Frank Coachman, Tom Bennett, John Benzer, Brandon Brewer, Rob Chilton, Christopher Clifton, Corey Graves, Jana Harvey, Jarrett Lipman, Gerry Miller, Joe Munoz, and Jim Rhodes

The scope of the committee’s work included discussing the Honor Band process in three parts: Preparation and Recording; Adjudication; and Performance. Through these discussions, a number of salient points were considered to ensure the long-term viability of this time-honored Texas competition.

Preparation and Recording

While the previous committee made well-advised adjustments to the December start-date and best-practices, this committee furthered those efforts with three additional recommendations:

Time Limits

In an effort to streamline both the preparation and adjudication processes, the committee recommended that time limits be enforced in both the middle school and high school levels. Starting in the 2020 (recording) / 2021 (concert) year, middle schools may not submit more than 25 minutes of recorded music, and high schools may not submit more than 35 minutes of recorded music.

Classification years

Even year recording (2022) – Odd year convention performance (2023) – classes 2C, 1A/2A (combined), 4A, 6A
Odd year recording (2023) – Even year convention performance (2024) – classes 1C, 3C, 3A, 5A

Removing UIL Concert Evaluation as a Mandatory Recording

With a variety of UIL Concert and Sightreading dates across the State of Texas ranging from February until May, the committee voted to recommend removing the requirement of utilizing the UIL recording as one of the four declared recording dates beginning with the 2020 (recording)/2021 (concert) year. This change to the process allows programs to choose four dates which best fit each program’s testing, UIL, and facilities calendars when scheduling Honor Band recordings.

Adjudication

The most sweeping changes recommended by the committee involved the Honor Band adjudication process. With the increasing quality and quantity of band programs in our state, the committee heard from several members that limiting the advancing groups to two at both the Region and Area levels was becoming a hindrance. As a result, new advancement criteria were recommended to be put in place to ensure a well-balanced flow from Region to Area to State.

Region to Area Advancement

Starting with the 2020 (recording)/2021 (concert) year, up to four bands per classification may advance from Region to Area. If more than four bands enter a given classification, a Region round would be required, and a maximum fee of $400 per ensemble would be assessed.

Area to State Advancement

In classifications 2C, 3C, 5A, and 6A, one per every four bands per classification at Area will advance to State. A maximum fee of $500 per ensemble will be assessed for the remaining rounds.

In classifications 1C, 1A/2A, 3A, and 4A, up to eight bands per Area Listening Center per classification may advance from Area to State. A maximum fee of $500 per ensemble will be assessed for the remaining rounds.

State Adjudication

With regard to the State Adjudication process, it was recommended that the round be split into a Semifinals/Finals format when more than 16 bands advance to State. As a result, the Prelims round will begin one day earlier than TBA with two evenly-divided adjudication rooms per classification. Four to five bands, depending on the total in Semifinals, will advance on to State Finals at TBA.

Performance

The committee explored several recommendations for the performance process.

Concert Expectations

The committee established a set of performance criteria for Honor Groups, ensuring that the students featured are representative of the full Honor Band process that earned them the right to perform. The State Chair will explain to the conductors of the Honor Bands what is expected in an Honor Band concert.

It is the hope of this committee that the revisions made to the Honor Band process sustain the quality and spirit of this time-honored Texas tradition with respect to the increased quality and quantity of bands in our state.

Eligibility

1. Varsity groups from classes 1C, 2C, 3C, 1A/2A (combined), 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A are eligible to enter the Honor Band Competition.

2. A band cannot succeed itself as an Honor Band. This will include an Honor Band which changes classification.

3. A school that will have a different director of bands for the next year may not have a recording auditioned at the Region, Area, or State level. A band director who submits a recording in the competition at any level but accepts a new position at a different school must immediately notify the State Band Chair of this change as soon as the change is made. Failure to follow this procedure may result in a penalty to be determined by the TMEA Executive Board.

4. All performers on the recording must be full-time students at the school of the organization entering the competition. (See Eligibility Requirements for TMEA Activities, Section 1, Article II)

5. Bands entering the Honor Band process will enter and perform in the class UIL has designated for that school prior to March 1 of the year of entry. Classification changes for the performance year will have no effect on the Honor Band process.

6. A band may be disqualified from Honor Band competition based on verification of unacceptable practices (including unethical recording practices detailed in Recording Requirements Rule #9). Information concerning unethical practices must be filed in writing using the TMEA Appeals Process.

7. Honor Band preparation may begin on December 1. (not before)

a. Examples of Honor Band submission preparations include, but are not limited to, prior performance, sightreading, rhythm sheets, audition excerpts, or sectionals that are directly in support of or contain content within the repertoire planned for the submission recording.

8. A statement of compliance will be included as part of the entry documentation with the March 1 entry.

c. Three-way or more ties involving advancement to the next level or performance at the TMEA Convention shall be broken by a re-hearing of all tied recordings continuing traditional scoring methods. Ties that remain after the single re-hearing will be broken using traditional TMEA audition tie-breaking procedures.
