They go on DCI and BOA world tours (ok, Texas/Oklahoma tours) with their mom and find an entirely new and different appreciation for the activity.

JC18 got a reaction from LeanderMomma in Gruesome (and not so gruesome) band injuries?
Adrenaline, a lot of Gatorade, and about 4-ish Advil tablets seems to do the trick. Wouldn't recommend for the long run though.

Interesting note: Vista Ride (16th) had a score that would have made them Grand Nationals Finals last year

As an Avon mom, I followed this thread from the beginning. Until this weekend, I did not want to register here, because I felt this was a Texas site/forum. Who am I to share a view in something that is clearly not my space? This post, however, was the tipping point. Thank you so very much for your encouraging words to our Avon Marching Black and Gold family. You are correct: our kids are used to getting medals at BOA events; however, this experience is worth its weight in gold. Please accept our (more than 300 and counting, as I shared your post on Avon Town Chatter pages) heartfelt thanks to you and to all of the Texas staff, parents, students, announcers, etc. for such a warm welcome. It was both humbling and inspiring.
If you'll allow me, I want to share a few other thoughts from the weekend:
Flower Mound opened their home to our kids. The kids broke bread, played games, laughed, and just enjoyed each other's company. Our daughter is one of many in a group chat with kids from FloMo. These kids became friends. Avon kids and FloMo kids will hang out and compete again next weekend. How cool is that? Parents from various Texas bands made us feel at home and shared unsolicited encouragement when they saw our Avon shirts. More than a hundred Avon parents made the trip to support our kids. Many more wanted to go, but traveling is cost prohibitive. Instead, they sacrificed their own experience for their kids. Again, humbling and inspiring.. Now, let's talk about the San Antonio Super Regional. Not going to lie, I have never missed one of Avon's BOA events since our daughter's freshman year; however, this was beyond special. I finally understand that everything IS bigger and better in Texas. This was by far the BEST marching band competition EVER. I am truly looking forward to next weekend's Grand Nationals. Spectators are not going to be disappointed. This will be a showdown to beat all showdowns: Texas, Broken Arrow, Carmel, and many other fierce competitors from across this great nation. Avon Marching Black and Gold parents (for decades) provide a standing ovation for all marching bands after every performance - prelim or finals. It was so nice to see many Texas parents do the same. Talk about synergy... yes, yes, and yes... all of our kids work so hard. More than two decades ago, Stephen Covey shared the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. One of his principles - sharpen the saw - came to mind all weekend. San Antonio Super Regional brought out the best in students across Texas and your Avon Indiana friends, too. They know and observed first hand - when everyone pushes the limit, leaving their heart and soul on the field, the competition strengthens, and everyone benefits.
Thanks again, Texas. Our family (again, one of many) will never forget this experience. We are #teamtexas fans for life. Best to all of you as you continue your pursuit of excellence whether in Texas UIL, Grand Nats, or in your preparation for 2018. Mad respect!

I'm now convinced the 8 hour rule is simply to prevent Texas bands from becoming too good.

Whataburger. I will leave this argument alone because I don't want to burn things.

I've adopted a free-range chicken named Mr. Drumsticks. The chicken will probably have better luck picking San Antonio Finals than I will.

Good luck getting up to an actual speed considered "speeding" on I-35!

Feeling somewhat better, although SA being only a week and a half away is looming... The amount of work bands put in now, between visuals, marching and everything is insane.
