As a Hendrickson parent who was there along with many others from when the gates opened until they closed:
To keep our band cool during last year's Austin competition the directors decided to return to our band hall and watch the live stream until the evening. We have a great deal of volunteer involvement from our boosters. These volunteers are required to be with the band. Specialy last year with as many props as we had. Also, as a courtesy to the fans of the bands that compete after us, many of us tend to vacate choice seats to allow their fans and parents optimal viewing. (I generally park it as close to the 50 and as high up as I can go, then camp there until breaking of ranks. Usually next to the TxBands staff. But I'm selfish in that way.
