Yeah, I remember Fort Zumwalt North at St Louis, and we heard it about 4 times while live streaming Atlanta. What I would like to see are the second and third movements of Pines of Rome. The first and fourth are always done, but the third would make a lovely ballad. Also John Mackey's Frozen Cathedral would make a nice ballad/closer, Mackey's High Wire and Whitacre's Equus would also be cool in a/more shows. Earlier this year the directors asked for music suggestions, so I made a list and asked as many people as I could for what songs they would like in our show for the next year, the list went to over a page.

Academy 2015?

Maybe the topic took 7 years to post?

Always makes me think Robert E. Lee before the announcer finishes the name.

I think that's also why USBands is mainly for smaller schools, because we got 1st in USBands Liberty Hill, but 30th in BOA San Antonio. Also I like how USBands classifications is by band size and not school size. The main reason why I don't like it is that they don't keep up with their website very well, I can bet the scores from the 2017 season still have not been posted.

My friend goes there and has been telling me about their show, and as of now it's the show I'm most exited to see.

We have 2 people contracted with Genesis.

I'm just gonna say that we're doing some big changes here at Anderson, so also keep an eye out for us.

That was the same with us, the last time we made finals at a BOA event was 2013, and that was cancelled because of weather

Oh my.......It's confirmed. 0 Texas schools going to Grand Nationals

Yeah, UIL and USBands have their own livestream service, but no way am I going to pay for those two and FloMarching, anyways Flo covers the most.

Anderson is confirmed for Waco, and that's the only BOA we're going to.

Anybody else waiting very impatiently for MFA to release the list of participants for all of the competitions?

Any more confirmed bands for Waco?

You have the power to merge topics? That's so cool!

Here's Anderson

Darn, that's unfortunate. I guess everybody wants to do state, and San Antonio will have up to 80 bands anyways.

Just gonna leave this pie chart I made here.

Marching is like figure skating. You perform then get scored in different categories.
