In 2018, Conferences 5A and 6A were broken up into two divisions and the two Co-Ed divi- sions were combined (Note: Co-Ed division teams require four or more males within the squad). The 2019 State Championships were the first to be recognized as sanctioned UIL contests and count towards Lone Star Cup point totals. From 2016-18, the Spirit State Championships were deemed a pilot contest. Teams compete in three categories: Band Chant, Crowd Lead- ing and Fight Song. Scores from those three categories are combined and the top 20 schools from the preliminary round advance to the finals. Teams compete in the three categories again to determine final placing. (Note: Preliminary scores do not carry over to finals.) Location History The state championship has been held in two locations during its history.
