What started off as a chilly morning quickly warmed up into a fury of quality performances at the Bands of America Plano Regional, presented by Yamaha. As the University of Texas - Arlington band cleared the field following their exhibition performance, band members surrounded the stadium to listen for the results of the preliminary round of competition. We have the results right here.
