Hard Core Band Fan

Instead of policing the internet, maybe they should better use their time and effort to provide a better product. Their Roku player now just quits whenever there is the slightest break in your internet connection. No spinning circle, just an error message and the player just stops. Thanks Box5TV!

A playoff system isn't practical nationwide. It's barely practical in Texas. I think the terminology is fine as it is.

Their intention is for it to be a national championship. Many factors prevent the best every year from attending, but this is a close as we can get. I understand your point, but being strongly opinioned doesn't make you correct.

So what would you call a competition at the end of the season comprised of bands across the nation?

Jealous!

Again,the BOA-style performance is the full version of the marching arts. Forcing a lesser version every year that will hurt the better competition isn't justified in my opinion. Glad you are happy with it. I am not.

I don't understand the logic of having state every year. It's so difficult for the bands that compete in both, diminishes the excitement for state as it is twice as often, and forces many groups from participating in BOA SA. Besides, BOA is the full performance for 99% of these groups as they can use their full electronics and props.

They apparently weren't working. They start lighting where they are positioned at the beginning and light up as they move along the floor.

The music at the beginning of Holly Springs' show reminded me of Aimachi's 2015 show. I was there that year and the screams of the girls in the audience was deafening!

By all means, please post about indoor percussion. In fact, create your own topic, if you like. I like watching the percussion competitions, but just don't know much about it. I'm a winds and guard person and would love to be educated about that aspect of the musical arts.

Really enjoyed this!

Which is funny as it actually is in Austin. Round Rock ISD property, but in Austin.

Hey, I'm a Pärt fan! You are, however, correct about being boring for a guard show. Schoenberg as well.

Yep, never underestimate Cedar Park.

Good to see a color guard from the military band wasteland of Northeast Texas! With Marshall and Mt. Pleasant, this makes the only three here today.
