Okay awesome thanks for the information, will definitely have to do this if possible!! Definitely wanna get the full crown experience for finals!

Omg wow yeah that sounds really nice! Does being in the suite take away from the sound at all? That’s my only reserve as I wanna be able to hear all the details, don’t really mind having to walk from a hotel for better sound, want everything big and loud 😂

Yeah, might have to get the Eagle experience, will be making a good amount with my summer internship so might have to treat myself 🤭

really happy to see Coppell on the list, would love to see another regular SASR come over, but regardless the lineup is already looking stacked!

NO CONFLICT WITH AREA RAHHHHH Can't wait to host everyone one last time 🥹

Planning on FINALLY attending this one in person this year. Was gonna go last season but it just wasn't gonna work out I'd be surprised if they weren't here, unless they have money issues it's a great "warmup" for state, hoping we see them on the list soon!!

Glad y’all are coming back!! Also, Im also happy to announce that I can confirm I will be attending this contest for a 3rd consecutive year!! Super excited, as this event has been nothing short of incredible with insanely stacked lineups!

Emerson with a 76 at Little Elm, need to see that show but they are starting out really well for their first trip to Dayton, there Olympics/gymnastics show last year was fantastic!

I do remember this, they had an incredibly talented group, the rifle line especially, SO many upfront tosses that they were nailing pretty much all season, will have to see there show soon!

Glad you’re okay bro

Sounds like it was a Pearland Dad, who took down the suspect, whether you’re on these forms or not thank you so much for saving the lives of hundreds of people today! Glad to hear everybody is okay

Sounds like there was a shooting at the Pasadena Memorial contest, praying and hoping everyone is okay!! The police have attained the suspect and the rest of the comp has been cancelled, please stay safe everyone 🙏

Yeah I’m just seeing I misspelled that and can’t change it 💀

Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts of the new approved proposals. I personally have mixed feelings. I think having a WW soloists could definitely bring some more esthetics and effect to the show, especially the ballad, but I do think it needs to remain at the soloists level, as I do think DCI needs to stay brass only as it’s what it’s known for since the start, but I’m very excited to see what creative ideas corps will use with the new addition!

I’m really hoping they make the trip. There’s already a really large group bound to be coming. Flomo and Marcus should be in attendance per their rotation cycle, as well as Round Rock, TW’s, Hopefully Reagan and CTJ, and ofc any other possible surprises like Coppell or one of the Leander schools (I’m looking at you Rouse :). But yeah, Wylie would do great here, easily a semi-finalist and with a super strong show, I see them in finals. Their last 3 shows have been amazing, and last years was just phenomenal!!

Hoping Boyd has a stronger season and McKinney builds off their recent success, their shows post Covid have been amazing. Hoping Wylie East also has a stronger season, have really loved what they’ve been doing of late

Super excited we’re hosting again 🥳

Yeah, Area B next year is gonna be insanely competitive, more than it is already. I’m hoping that sooner than later it gets to the point where they have to split it up, could do a Frisco area and then everyone else in another 😂

Really sucks for Avon, was really looking forward to what they were gonna do after last year. Hope all the members are okay and nothing bad is going on over there. On the bright side, could see a new face in 1st! Has The Woodlands ever won at Dayton? Would love for them to take the gold, could definitely see it happening with the right show

If i’m free this weekend, there’s a very high chance I’ll be going in person, especially since TW’s will be here!!

Hey everyone! Does anyone by chance know why the finals video isn’t on YouTube? Was hoping to watch it at some point, but was wondering if they took it down for some reason. Heard there were some issues with the camera angles and some other things?

Hey everyone!! So just got home and the video wasn’t there so just took a look. Congrats to Avon, no surprises!! Was a little shocked at Leander in 12th, but other than that nothing to shocking, happy to see Bridgeland 7th and AF 8th. Congratulations again to everyone on their season!!’ Can’t believe it’s already over, but I can’t wait for WGI!! Good night!

Okay everyone, that does it for me for now. Again, I'll be watching the results when I get back, could be a minute though. Before I go, some words. Thank you one to all the amazing people of this website for being so awesome this season!! I was blessed to be able to cover a good amount this season, but I really appreciate those posting at the other comps, it's always great getting to read what everyone thinks, as well as getting to learn from some of the best. Next, to all the kiddos. Thank you for your dedication and hard work this season. It's really crazy to believe that it's over, but here we are. This season felt different to me personally, but in a good way. I feel like everyone was at the top of their game, with some groups having historic seasons. You can't find any other SR or big band comp where the first 10 or so groups are all high 80's and less than 1.5 points away from each other. It's what makes this sate the best, and I'm so grateful I got to watch so many of these bands develop in person over the season. Congratulations to everyone on your season. Next year might be by last super active season, hoping it the Boa shedule lines up well with football so I can go out (possibly) in a bang. Still a lot to figure out for me post-college, but I'm preparing to treat next year like the last big one for me as a spectator, at least for a while. But again, to the kids, ya'll have put on some unreal shows this season, the talent in Tx is off the charts at this point, everyone is just getting so good, and Ik next season will be even better. Now, with all that being said, here is my prediction for tonight (again, to be, and hopefully, wrong): 1. Avon (visual/ge) 2. Broken Arrow (music) 3. Carmel 4. Tarpon Springs 5. Cedar Park 6. William Mason 7. Castle 8. Leander 9. Bridgeland 10. Dobyns-Bennett 11. Prosper 12. American Fork

Fantastic performance from Tarpon Springs to close out finals!!! The amount of Raw GE this group is able to create is unmatched, literally the HS version of BD. Some insane musical selections, and they are executing extremely high. Love all of it, from that super pretty ballad, amazing job soloists btw, too that sick low brass feature, to the WW's just nailing those technical passages with so much ease, it's unlike any other. Not to mention, that guard is just ridiculous, though everyone here has an extremely strong guard. Visually so so clean, some really hard writing that they nailed. I will admit, I personally didn't get that "Oof" that I did from the other big 3, but that could just be me, and I'd love for them to medal, fantastic performance Tarpon Springs!!!

Well ladies and gentlemen, presenting you 2024 boa grand national champions.....Jk BA is still in the convo. No words, that's the definition of executing to the highest level, and that's what Avon just did. I still see music going somewhere else, but they will take visual and GE for sure (unless by the power of the Gods Tarpon cooks harder than that). I'm speechless, that was just near perfect, all of it, and I love it so so much. Thank you Avon for pushing boundaries this year, look great, sound great, and guard is great. I see them at the top for a while if they continue to have these stellar show designs, fantastic job Avon!!
