    I watched on the multicam tonight, so I don't know what it all looked like from high up, but every band seemed to give their best performance of the year.

    I only watched the high cam so I didn't get the intricate details, I'm a sucker for big marching movement.

    I would have loved to have a split screen or two large TV's to watch. Sometimes it seems like multi-cam misses a lot

    I really liked The Woodlands show too. I thought they had their best run in finals.

    I know Broken Arrow is the favorite, but it seemed a bit off in my eye. Just not as crisp. It was very pretty and the music was wow.

    Did Marcus change something? Earlier runs I was wowed by their marching and was waiting for it in finals. Their music book was performed at world class level.

    I really liked Avon and LOVED Carmel's use of negative space and silence.

    2021 BOA Grand Nationals (Nov. 11-13)

    in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive

    I have been able to watch a little bit so far.  I liked what CTJ brought last night.  Was my first time to see them this year. With most CTJ shows I need to see them a few times to really get into it.  I can't wait to see them twice more. Great show.

    Marcus, I was blown away. I thought their drill was amazing (again, I am a novice and don't know anything). I'm a bit OCD, straight lines and precise shapes really please my eye, and hurt when they are off.  Marcus marching was eye candy to me.

    I'm sorry that I didn't get to see Ronald Reagan.  I am sure they put on an amazing show and I will see them in semi's

    Vista Ridge - great job.  I want to comment more, but I was busy getting the house ready for people to come over so I was a bit distracted.  What I saw and heard I really liked.

    FloMo - That was the best run I've seen for them so far.  I could not hear any tone issues like were mentioned for UIL.  ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SUSA FEATURE!!!

    Let's go #TeamTexas!  Bring Kevin back south for the winter.

    Also quick question, is the times listed for the performances on the BOA website with the time zone in Indianapolis? Just wondering bc I was gonna catch Marcus at 5:30, but it seems they’ve already gone, but just wanted to confirm. Looks like Texas time is an hour behind the times on tue schedule.

    Yes, the times posted are EST.  We are CST.  I'll attach a file with the times in CST.

    Best experience you have ever had watching a band

    in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more

    There are a lot of great musical moments that were amazing.

    However, the best experience, and most memorable, for me has to be the FMHS 2014 Grand Nationals Finals performance.  I've recounted it here many times.  But having both my children (one senior one freshman) performing at the same event, amongst the best in the nation, and I was there to see them.  I can't recall anything else that has ever moved me so much.

  18. Texas State Legislature voting on a bill tomorrow that can remove the requirement for schools to require fine arts for graduation.

    Thank goodness this was "Left pending in committee"

     

    We REALLY need to get members of the TexLege that are friendly towards public education.  I'm not talking red/blue or left/right but members of the lege that actually support public schools, teachers, and school activities.  There are FAR too many members (both sides) that give lip service and then pass legislation that actually HURTS our schools and our kids (and in turn our communities).

  25. 2019 Football Playoffs...

    in General Off-Topic

    Posted

    Just thought this might be an interesting subject as we enter the post season, especially since many of our marching bands are still busy performing at playoff football games!

     

    Just saw that Duncanville REALLY whipped Flower Mound earlier today in the AT&T stadium. Who do they play next?

     

    Who else won their playoff games today and who and where do you play next?

    This was Flower Mound's FIRST trip to the second round ever.  For that they got to play the #1 team in the state.  (at least the score wasn't as bad as Southlake Carroll over Lewisville 84-0 in the first round)

     

    And we confirmed that the Death Star (a.k.a.Jerry World) is horrible for marching bands.
