I really like the lineup for this contest! Definitely will be interesting to see how all the programs do. Vista Ridge and CTJ will be an epic match to see! Vandegrift returning to competition, and being the reigning BOA Grand National Champion, and many other amazing programs, this contest will be one to remember! Also can't forget about Cedar Park, Leander, and Rouse! Those schools will definitely bring something to the table, especially after the 2018 and 2019 season!2 points -

I agree and was not discounting Vandy, Reagan or any other program this coming year, just that Vista and CTJ are going to see each other a number of time (more than usual) with TMC and State before matching up in Indy. it should be great year for all programs and I wish them all the best2 points -

The Vista Ridge Marching Festival is always the first Saturday in October, never on the same day as TMC. Vista has competed at TMC a number of times and is always at BOA Austin.1 point -

Favorite HS Band Moments 2020
LeanderMomma reacted to LindseyKubsch for a topic
Iâm a little late to the party, but.... Making state despite everything that happened this year. Though, kinda tied(not really though) with me jumping off my podium mid rehearsal because a 5 inch flying bug landed on me and I tried to get away. Then everyone laughed and it was kinda funny after.1 point -
I know this is mostly âpreaching to the choirâ here since most all parents that have found this forum already are aware of the benefits of band and our kids and their learning. But I came across this article, and I thought it was great and shows even more benefits of marching band that arenât traditionally pointed out https://hechingerreport.org/opinion-band-offers-a-haven-for-the-student-who-marches-to-the-beat-of-a-different-drummer/?fbclid=IwAR0Bm5hH8k5UtO0mtgQmpigWoh_2oi4UW2OJdOb_ag0F0RxIF3WfhYo2MgM1 point

UIL State Contest 2021 (Includes all conferences)
Tx Hill Country Bands reacted to propsquaddad for a topic
Leander getting bumped down to 5A really puts pressure on Cedar Park, Rouse, and Glen. All of which made the Finals (Cedar park #1, and Rouse #4). I think It's very possible we see a repeat of 2015 with a Leander ISD sweep in 5A.1 point -

Yo-Yo Ma and Vista Ridge
LeanderMomma reacted to Majellan for a topic
Just a funny from a band geek mind. Last night I was watching Yo-Yo Ma performing amazing grace before transitioned to Dvorakâs symphony for a new world. My honest first thought while listening to this wasâwow, did he get this version of amazing grace from Vista Ridge circa 2018â.𤣠I came to my senses after a couple of minutes.1 point -
Best experience you have ever had watching a band

1st) Watching my Daughter in the 2018 State 6A finals with Vista Ridge's Lost and Found. My dad who's in his 80's was able to attend and it was such a moving show and experience. 2nd) The "Band Hug" at the Break Ranks after the retreat for 6A State 2018. 3rd) My son's 2013 State 4A (was no 6A then so equivalent to 5A today) performance with Vista Ridge Band winning 3rd place with Scheherazade.1 point -
2021 Grand Nationals
Tx Hill Country Bands reacted to propsquaddad for a topic
It does, I agree. Idk, I have mixed emotions about it. A "state winning" UIL show may or may not do well at GN, and the smaller schools like CP, Rouse, and Glen don't have near the fund raising base as Vista or Vandy. A trip to GN is an additional $400,000 to the budget. I think it would be really cool if LISD sent everyone to GN one year. win the whole thing and sweep the classes.1 point -
A History of Texas HS Marching Band
Tx Hill Country Bands reacted to AlsoIntoSpace for a topic
Hello everyone! Over the past few days, I've been working on this project to help take my mind off everything happening in the band world right now. I'd never found any kind of information about the history of UIL marching band, and so I decided to do some research and write about it using the plenty of free time I've been given this summer. The result is what's written here, which I also expanded to include Texas involvement in BOA. I figured the best place to share it would be here, where my fellow band geeks might appreciate it. I'm sure it's not perfect, and it's very possible that I misse1 point -
Best experience you have ever had watching a band
Tx Hill Country Bands reacted to Imagine for a topic
Reagan 2015 when they played that incredible ballad and the dancers trickled out onto the field. Every time I saw that show I'd look around and see people wiping tears away. It was beautiful and full of joy. Reagan 2018 loved everything about the show from the moment the pianist was rolled onto the field while playing. Reagan 2019 Mind blowing. Just a truly stunning show and again--when the visual ensemble lifted the gold flags and ran around the entire field or when the drum major and the VE member ran through the circles that opened as they went through. Just a jaw dropping show.1 point -

And then of course you have Hebron 13....It still baffles me that Hebron doesn't have an BOASA/UIL State/Grand national title...They should have all 3 in my opinion.1 point
