News . . .
August 2021
Welcome back to another school year, one that is filled with hope and optimism that it will be better than the last couple of years. UIL Region 14 music activities are currently scheduled to move forward as normal for this school year, and the calendar posted on the website reflects that plan. However, we have learned to be very flexible and adaptable over the last couple of years, and if needed, will do the same again this year.
MARIACHI UPDATE
There are some new things this year, and one of those is the format change for Mariachi Contest. Statewide, there are now five "Mariachi Regions" for the Mariachi Medium Ensemble Contest. Region 14 has been assigned to the newly created "Coastal Bend Mariachi Region", which consists of Region 14 and eight additional Regions. Geographically, it stretches from Laredo all the way across the state, including the Houston Metro area, to the Texas-Louisiana border. Yes, that covers a lot of territory, but it's referred to as the "Coastal Bend Region" because the vast majority of the participants will be from Region 14, and the event will hopefully take place here in Region 14. Details on date and site are still to be determined, but for the information and requirements for this new event, click HERE to go to the Mariachi page of the website.
TEXAS MUSIC FORMS (ONLINE REGISTRATION SYSTEM) CHANGES
There is also a big change in the UIL Entry Registration System with Texas Music Forms. Beginning this year, all active accounts must include the school's TEA code. That means that when you register a new account, or when you log on to your existing account for the first time this year, you will be prompted to enter that school code into the system. Every school in the State of Texas (elementary, middle, and high school) has a unique code assigned to it by TEA. You should check with your front office staff, administration, or even your testing office, many of those people work with that number on a regular basis and will be able to help you get that TEA code. It is used on many reports that must be filed with the State. If you want to search the TEA site for the code, click HERE. Follow the prompts to complete the search field to find your school, and keep in mind there are a number of schools across the state with similar names. Look carefully at county locations and addresses, you should have very little trouble finding the correct school.
