A discovery that an ineligible student participated in a UIL competition on Saturday means that the Flour Bluff Hornet Band will not advance.
Last week, students celebrated the band’s advancement in the Region 15 5A marching competition.
The band’s score earned them a spot in the upcoming competition in Cedar Park.
However, the district later learned that an ineligible student had competed in Saturday’s competition.
Flour Bluff ISD In a statement from Flour Bluff Independent School District Chris Steinbruck, he said, “It has come to our attention that an academic infraction occurred at a recent performance that was a direct violation of eligibility policy. As a result of this oversight and in accordance with competition regulations, our band must forfeit its advancement to the Area Competition. Upon discovery of this incident, FBISD staff immediately self-reported this to the administration and UIL. Flour Bluff ISD takes this matter very seriously and we are committed to upholding the integrity of UIL rules and regulations.
