lost Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 After this year I think Vista Marietta will earn their very own spot as an honorary Texas band AvonDad and LeanderMomma 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregorydf01 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I have to say I am highly jealous of the bands going to BOA Grand Nat's from Texas this year and wish things would have worked out for Vista Ridge (my daughters band) to go as well. She is a Sr. this year and my son graduated in 2016 so this year will be my 8th year with the program and we never got to go. The VR kids are hyped up on the new show this year and are saying its going to be bigger and better than Lost and Found. Would have been fun to take it to Grand Nat's and see what it could do! I'll be watching the Texas 6 this year and will be screaming and rooting for all of you (but a bit extra for the LISD south schools)!

LeanderMomma Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I’m disappointed as well. Vista Ridge is most certainly ready for the big stage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be watching the Texas 6 this year and will be screaming and rooting for all of you (but a bit extra for the LISD south schools)! It is a great experience for the kids - one that I wish all kids could get a chance to experience - I would say to parents - talk with the director, and understand what their goals are for the program. I was always pushing for a return trip to Indy as a parent as the program grew, I and many of our parents have always known what the goals are to build a bold and balanced program. they made UIL state in the 3rd year of the program, attended GNats in the 4th year and made finals, in 2014 they attended the tournament of roses parade through an extensive application - not a Gnats bid. Many parents were pushing for a return to Indy - but the leadership felt it was better to focus on more than just marching. The Winter Guard went on a win a silver Medal in Dayton, the band continues to grow in Honor band/concert band, had a record number of State musicians and will perform this year at the Midwest Clinic. as discussed many times in the past - there is always the money factor - $400K investment for Indy and not meeting expectations will leave many parents sour on future trips just my thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanderThanYou Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 A little off topic but I think the six Texas bands should talk in Southern accents and say y'all and howdy for fun when they go, bring a little Southern charm up to Indy.

Ha ha, that definitely won't be a problem for some of us seeing as how I already talk like that. BanderThanYou and gregorydf01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
