BandG33k73 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 It can be difficult to nail down a specific location several months in advance. It is usually easier for university stadiums to be confirmed since college games can be scheduled years in advance. UT-Arlington was usually a safe bet as a site for many years since they do not have a football team. However, scheduling conflicts do come up from time to time. You also have to consider that many band programs "bid" on hosting these contests because they are great fundraisers for the program. I REALLY hope to go back to Southlake next year. From top to bottom, the Southlake band parents did an absolutely phenomenal job hosting the event. Any event that has Jersey Mike's in the press box gets all the gold stars from me!! personally, I hope it’s at UNT. Seemed to be a good venue when it was there before, the stadium is big, and amazing acoustically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majellan Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Really odd how DFW regional is TBD every year. I'm certainly glad it is not in Arlington anymore, just odd that they can't get something lined up. Plenty of good venues to choose from.

Danpod Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Next year, BOA Waco is on the same weekend as The Texas Marching Classic (Hosted by Cedar Ridge). For reference, Vandegrift, Reagan, and Hendrickson all attended the TMC last year. It'll be interesting to see which show these programs decide to attend.

Jeffrey L. Gorman Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Since Cedar Ridge has a sure thing set up for Stadium and such, BOA needs to make a decision fairly soon. With BOA already having a contest in Austin, many schools will have to question the cost of another BOA regional in a less than major Stadium.

Also hate that it's the same weekend as DFW. Or was it Conroe? Anyway, and most importantly, how can I be 3 places at once?! Edit: Its DFW and Conroe that are on the same weekend. I see now. Still gotta choose between two great contests! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanderMomma Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I choose the one with the best food. I'll probably choose the one that gets the shade faster depending on the direction the stadium faces. takigan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog885 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I remember driving past this on my way to San Antonio last year thinking "wow, they should host a band competition there" I do the same thing with the UT stadium downtown, but then I realize that there's no parking lots to play in.

This year is going to be a little less exciting at TMC if some of those bands chose not to attend. Fingers crossed they stick with TMC.

Danpod Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Breaking News:The Waco Regional on October 13th will be held at Waco ISD Stadium. From what I am hearing, this will be a surprisingly competitive Regional. I performed at this stadium for Area Marching Contest in 2000 (The year it opened and I'm not old). The layout is very similar to Kelly Reeves. There are inclines that programs will have to traverse to enter and exit the field. Also, there is very little sideline room so the bands are going to be blasting our heads off all day long!!! Dog885 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
