[2023 BOA Conroe (Sept. 30)]

Only seven replies to this thread? Jeez. Allow me to potentially stir up some conversation with some early finals predictions.

Top four is a tough call -- I could see any one of those bands winning this show with the right show and performance.

1. Seven Lakes
2. Cy-Fair
3. Wylie East
4. Cypress Woods
5. Clear Brook
6. Friendswood
7. Klein Oak
8. Stephen F. Austin (I think they'd be happy with anything but 13th for the third consecutive time)
9. Oak Ridge
10. Foster
11. Klein Cain
12. Jordan

First out: College Park (but they could definitely make it in).

 

[2023 BOA Austin (Sept. 23)]

No new bands, just a schedule revision to provide some relief from the Texas heat.

Medina Valley is not on the attendance list.

Personally I’d give that spot to La Joya, but their performance slot isn’t doing them any favors. They’ve seemed to had a fair amount of growth since their last attendance in 2019.

Willis is going.

like who?

Expand  

Pieper, Weslaco, La Joya and Los Fresnos all have a good chance of performing twice.

The last time La Joya went was in 2019 and they seem to have grown a lot since then.

The other three I believe are all new faces to this regional.

Two years in a row with ZERO participation from out of state?

Expand  

San Antonio is very far away from everything else and I would imagine that, other than getting to spectate the best high school band contest in the world, it’s just not worth the trip for most groups to go there and get ~60th place.
