Methodology
Rankings are built only from verified, published 2026 results from official marching contests (Bands of America, USBands, and the HEB Marching Contest). Unverified, reported, or anticipated results are not used.
Ordering is determined by a proprietary rating model that accounts for factors such as the strength of the competition at each contest and results across the season. Schools are grouped by 2026–27 UIL conference per the UIL 2026–28 realignment. Only programs in the North Texas area are ranked; out-of-region and non-UIL bands appear in contest fields but are not ranked.
The Move column compares to Edition 1 (October 12, 2026). New indicates a school not ranked in Edition 1.
