I love the hotels that are connected to the convention center for sure. They are definitely pricey though. Check out Springhill Suites behind the JW Marriott for a little better price but still mostly an indoor walk to Lucas Oil. Wonderful hotel!

Yes, since their inception, both BOA Austin and the Texas Marching Classic have been held at Kelly Reeves. I’m guessing that they are doing their best to continue this trend but have not yet nailed down the dates.

I remember that so well! I had left the Alamodome as soon as prelims ended so I could jump back in line for finals and grab a good seat. I’ll never forget seeing the Round Rock band kids running out of the stadium in the doors beside where I was standing, and they were absolutely and literally jumping in the air for joy! It was powerful to see how ecstatic they were and everyone around me was as touched and moved as I was by the pure emotion of it all. I definitely cried a little bit watching that! So happy for those kids. ♥️♥️

I’m ready for an Arkansas/Oklahoma invasion! 🥰🥳🤗

Same!!

😱😱😱😱😱

They did handle it quite well indeed! 😍 It was an exciting time to be a part of the program for sure, but I’m happy for them to remain 5A a few more years. There’s growth in the school coming though, and I feel like they will be 6A again very soon.

Yes Leander was 6A that year and literally drove straight from state finals Wednesday afternoon to the Austin airport where they boarded late night flights to Indy! It was a lot and we had several kids get injured that week. They were exhausted from BOA SA, UIL and then GN all in a week’s time! 🥴

Yikes.

I feel like we manifested this one! 🤣

Partly, and partly because of UIL’s schedule.

Yep! Santa showed up at the concert tonight with a huge present! I screen recorded the announcement because I was watching it live on FB and I got the kids reaction and shared it on Instagram. It’s so exciting!

😅😅😅 You don’t know how relieved I was to hear this!

I’m looking forward to the full 2024 BOA schedule being released tomorrow, some possible new regionals, and more clues about bands potentially attending GN. Let us know if you’re going. (I am pretty sure I will be there)!

It was so cool in 2016 when both Cedar Park and Leander attended GN together. Also pretty cool when they were one placement apart in finals (Leander-6th, CP-5th)! Sister schools located within 6 miles of each other, traveling over a thousand miles away, only to be side by side yet again. Good stuff and a very fond memory!

If anyone knows of a guard or indoor winds/percussion group that has used a floor that looks like a hardwood floor and wants to sell it, I have a friend who is looking for one to purchase for his indoor winds group. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help or remembers any group that used something similar in the past!
