Changes made on
2/9/2024:
Restore all entries from The Woodlands HS that
were dropped yesterday. The problem that was
preventing their participation was suddenly
solved. But anyone who was offered a move-up
above is still entitled to it. We're not
retracting the offers. There will just be an
extra entry or two in those events at State. The
more, the merrier!
Affecting
Jordan HS (sort of):
Drop A. Halilagic (Bellaire HS) from
Sight Reading 1,
but Halle McAdoo (Jordan HS) was already moved
up due to the above situation with The Woodlands
HS, so no further move-up is necessary. This
just puts us back at the normal 5 qualifiers in
the event.
Affecting
Kingwood HS:
Drop A.
Hassan (Bellaire HS) from Extemporaneous
Speaking 3, move up Cade Ellis
(Kingwood HS).
Drop A.
Halilagic (Bellaire HS) from Prose Memory 1,
move up Curran Hatfield (Kingwood HS).
Affecting
Tompkins HS:
Drop A.
Halilagic (Bellaire HS) from Directed
Dialogue 1,
move up Seif Badr (Tompkins HS).
Drop A.
Hassan (Bellaire HS) from Sight Reading 3,
but Lucha Buddelmeijer (Tompkins HS) was already
moved up due to the above situation with The
Woodlands HS, so no further move-up is
necessary.
Drop S.
Odensky/E. Weiner (Bellaire HS) from Duet
Acting Lower, but Linea Martin/Hannah Stokes
(Tompkins HS) had already been moved up from 6th
place under the provision for filling empty
slots left by Sprachfest and Winterfest, so no
further move-up is necessary. However, since
they now move up "naturally" due to a drop, it
means that Martin/Stokes can now receive
sweepstakes points and scholarship credit for
any place that they earn at State, so remove any
* from their names in your State alpha list.
Affecting
Travis HS:
Drop I.
Marblestone (Bellaire HS) from Culture 1,
move up Ethan Johnson (Travis HS).
Affecting
no one:
Drop R.
