Tropical Storm Imelda has been hitting our community non stop lately (and other Houston bands too!) so the directors decided it’d be best to drop out. Safety has always been their number one priority and it shows in this case. I wish the best of luck to everyone tomorrow, and best of luck for whoever will be fighting for the freshly opened Top 10 spot.

Hi everyone! It turns out Brazoswood is withdrawing from this weekends Regional. Due to many uncontrollable circumstances (weather impacting rehearsal time and other reasons I don’t know of), they have dropped out. They’re really sad and disappointed that they won’t debut this weekend but they’re very excited to show off what they’re working on at BOA Houston in a few weeks. I know I’m very excited to see them at Houston.

We never purposefully marched ineligible students. To clarify, our soundboard guy that season was never in a band class so he thought the eligibility rules didn’t apply to him (even though guess what, it did). So we took him to Region. And we took him to Area. And we took him to state. It wasn’t until December when we found out that he was ineligible and caused us to be disqualified from those events. So no, under Brian Casey did we ever march students who were not eligible. We were all very furious when we found out.

Psh I wish. That was the year Brian Casey retired and Martin Montoya came in at the end of the year and we’ve been great through Casey and still going strong through Montoya. We also picked up SCV’s brass dude Mark Nichols that year to fill in the hole left by Montoya getting promoted to head director.

Hi, Brazoswood band member here. No, we did not get disqualified due to marching failed students. Our directors are always on top of students who have failed out and are very strict about these rules.
