  1. All bands in Region 18 - Austin area including Bowie - received first division ratings tonight. For Area D this means 32 bands will advance and six will qualify for State.
  2. Nice analysis by HornRank for this weekend: https://www.hornrank.com/2018/01/2018-austin-regional.html?m=1
  3. Very good observations about RR. The staff changes, new show writers, concept and music have all combined to make a distinct upgrade over the last several years. This year’s show is incredibly entertaining and powerful with some things that most won’t expect from the Dragon Band. That combined with the new uniforms will make a bold statement in two weeks. Get excited folks. You will really like what you see.
  4. My current guess - based on what I have seen - is that the Top 5 and and Top 10 are very similar to last year. CTJ should be the clear favorite. I have seen Round Rock perform in person and can tell you that they have raised their game immensely and may be a dark horse. Their band is much further along than previous years and their music is outstanding. The opener will blow many people away - a return to some of their roots that made them a fan favorite in the past. Vandegrift and Leander look to be their typical incredible selves. By all accounts this appears to be the best BOA Austin competition in recent memory. Should be fun!
  5. Amazing Performances and extremely high scores http://www.musicforall.org/resources/fall-results/2017/austin-tx-results 85.05 - Claudia Taylor Johnson H.S., TX 82.25 - Vandegrift H.S., TX 81.95 - Round Rock H.S., TX 81.90 - Leander H.S., TX 80.30 - Cedar Park H.S., TX 78.40 - Cedar Ridge H.S., TX 77.45 - Hendrickson H.S., TX 75.65 - Winston Churchill H.S., TX 75.00 - James Bowie H.S., TX 73.65 - Vista Ridge H.S., TX Outstanding Music Performance - (tie) Vandegrift H.S., TX & Claudia Taylor Johnson H.S., TX Outstanding Visual Performance - Claudia Taylor Johnson H.S., TX Outstanding General Effect - Claudia Taylor Johnson H.S., TX
  6. Any thoughts on classifications for the top competitors based on the BOA classifications? From BOA - Bands are classified by school enrollment, grades 10-12 only. Under our four-class system: Class A is up to 600 students Class AA is 601-1200 Class AAA is 1201-1700 Class AAAA is 1701 and above Fairly certain LISD bands are mostly AAA and RRISD bands, Hendrickson and Bowie will be AAAA. Just curious if there are any thoughts.
  7. Without going into details, I will say that I have watched the majority of the contender's shows in person. I believe the top spot will be either Reagan or Flower Mound. It will be very close. CTJ's show is awesome - if they can have clean runs they will be in the mix. Leander and Vandegrift both have remarkable shows - and for those that have not seen Round Rock, this is their best show since their run at Grand Nationals in 2013. They could be the absolute surprise of the weekend and contend for top 5. They tend to peak late and this year is no different. Saturday night should be spectacular!
  8. The order list by Lynn is how they placed in prelims. Finals halfway through and all very good performances. This will be very tight.
