principalagent Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Cedar Park has only been below 9th twice in the past ten seasons. There's a director change afoot, but I don't see that changing much - especially in the first year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanderMomma Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 They'll place higher than what anyone here predicts them to be. Constantly underrated. I agree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog885 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Anderson, Austin (possibly every other year? 2011-2014, 2016) Technically we don't go every other year. We missed 2015 because of weather and 2017 was our first year choosing not to attend since 2011 because we went to st. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadisonBandMan1 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Madison had a great show last year. Are you going to TMC this year? Our directors don't tell us anything until much later in the school year but we may, and I have heard we might be going to two BOAs again next year but that is just rumor so don't take it as true. And thank you by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWHSParent Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 For The Woodlands, I can confirm BOA Houston and BOA San Antonio. They are still working out the final date for Lone Star Preview, which has recently been the weekend following BOA Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Danpod Posted March 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Expect this Regional to reach its new 80 band limit. With 6A State starting Monday morning, I anticipate plenty of programs to hang out in San Antonio over the weekend.

We missed 2015 because of weather and 2017 was our first year choosing not to attend since 2011 because we went to st. Louis. Anderson actually did attend in 2011 and made finals. I think you're thinking of 2012 when Anderson went to St. Louis, and they still attended San Antonio after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogogo Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hahaha. Well we’ve seen 75% of each band so the predictions aren’t totally wild guesses. Reputation probably influences judging at least a little bit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're thinking of 2012 when Anderson went to St. Louis, and they still attended San Antonio after that. I was just talking about how 2011 was our earliest BOA and how 2017 was the first year to choose to not go to San Antonio by choice is all.

Crown2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Wait so Haltom playing “carmina burana” after this past year how much respect for that band has grown in the last year after their amazing show this year I think they will pull it off amazingly but making finals in San Antonio is going to be a huge accomplishment for this group and I can’t wait to see what they’re gonna do!

I love Carmina Burana and I am sure Haltom will do it justice. For reference, you can search for Plano Senior High Area Performance 16 1029 on You tube and it will bring up their performance from 2016 all area when they did this. PSHS did well, but I am sure Haltom will have a better show design. This was PSHS's first time coming back to all area after they stopped going a number of years ago, so it was just nice seeing them back.
