and now there are 6 big programs - not 4 and the break between the 2 is 2 full weeks this year, not 1 should be a great day in Indy

also to ponder - while I have not looked into prior years. keep in mind that of the 12 finalists in GN for 2018 - only 4 are scheduled to return. 1st, 2nd, 7th, and 8th place will return. some bigger routine players that are not coming back are Blue Springs, BA, Tarpon, Wando, Jenks, Dobbs-Bennett , and O'Fallon with 6 Texas 6A Programs in GN in 2019 - the Eagle could very well come back to Texas #teamtexas

the 6 Texas programs can and should own half of the finals spots

so, as I look through the list of attendees for these 2 events. I am struck by the simple facts as they are presented. not to say "i told you so" - but - Hey, I DID! Many thought we beat this horse to death. with 85 bands currently signed up to attend GNats - and 94 signed up for BOA-SA - we have to (cause we have time between now and Sept to kill) - what is the stronger program? I know that we have debated it many times over the past 2 years. but lets just jump back into it. Last year BOA expanded the SR to an expanded field and SA jumped from 64 to 84 participants. they then changed the format of prelim scoring. Many have debated the addition of a semi's for BOA-SA due to the size. if there is a semi's for GNat's with 85 bands - why not for the 94 that will be in the dome? It is my understanding that bands can be added to the GN format at this time - but they have to take early, open slots as the confirmed programs as of May 15th have a set prelims time as they are already confirming their travel arrangements. lots of points to ponder - has BOA SA surpassed GN? Ready - Set - GO!!!!

agreed

and 6 states being represented in BOA SA

I would say that is the plan - as I noted many posts ago - the storm is coming GET YOUR RAIN GEAR!!!!! 64 in 2017 - 84 in 2018 with new rules - 94 or 104 in 2019?.....

some great programs representing the state of Texas in 2019

I have not seen my favorite show of all time yet - I will have a freshman next year - so there are hundreds of new shows to see in the next 4 years. but to be my favorite it would have to beat forest thru the trees in 2017
