While I do think Bowie should’ve been in finals and the current system with the different panels heavily affected that, they would’ve made finals if it weren’t for for those two captions. Individual music was 18th and individual marching 26th. Can’t have that happen if you want to be a finals band. I loved their show and think they should’ve made finals, but we can’t blame it all on BOA, Bowie is rising but still has work to do.

I feel sad that a lot of worthy bands can’t make grand nats because of travel cost. I sort of wish that they’d move BOAs headquarters to Texas because that’s where most of the best marching bands are located, and that’s not including Oklahoma bands who could also drive easily to Texas. But that’s leave the same problem up north, where a lot of great programs are too, like Avon, Carmel, Castle, Homestead in Indiana. Again that’s not including surrounding states. But to be honest, a majority of the best programs are in Texas, which is why Avon is flying down for the super regional. I think eventually for competitive reasons they should move grand nats to San Antonio because it’s basically becoming a bigger competition than grand nats.
