I can't guarantee the validity of the following statement but I heard the PfISD high schools were having HVAC systems replaed and that's why it temporarily had to be moved to a middle school this year. If that's true, the staff at the Cele contest did their absolute best to run the contest efficiently, with multiple directors in the parking lot directing traffic, etc.

That being said, definitely arrive earlier than you think you should. If you are a director, don't expect a large room or area for directors (I had to camp out in a hallway for most of yesterday). Lastly, tell your kids to keep an eye on their stands, especially if they aren't labeled. Had a few stands "walk off" yesterday...
