  1. I was heavily involved with planning/fundraising for a central TX band last year that went to Nationals last year. The Grand Nats fees were in addition to the regular band fees for our band. The GN fees were paid directly to the travel agency that planned our logistics (air, hotel, food) for each student. The fundraising we did would be sent to the travel agency in a lump sum and then divided equally among the kids' accounts. (ex. $20,000 divided among 200 kids = $100 off everyone's balance). There is plenty of time to fundraise for next year so don't worry. I also feel your pain about sending two kids to Grand Nats. I did that last year.
  2. I’m 99% positive I know the answer to this but I couldn’t find the answer today on the BOA website so here it goes. If my kids’ band performs on Friday will I also need to purchase prelim tickets for Saturday to see the finals announcement? I’m assuming I will need to purchase a second prelim session ticket. In addition to the finals ticket.
  3. I couldn’t copy this but wanted to let people know if they are going to Gupton that Parmer Lane will be closed just north of 45. I got this from the Area D chat. I’ll be at Kelly Reeves tomorrow but since Gupton is just down the street, I wanted to share this here in case there are people going this way to get to Gupton.
  4. I know a lot of Hendrickson parents and they were asking the same thing.
  5. I think they will too! I was amazed at their Austin performance.
  6. After seeing Cedar Park last week, there is no way they don't win State again and it won't be close. My kids have competed against them for the past 6 years and they looked really strong last week already. I was amazed at how cleaned they looked so early in the season.
  7. I was in charge of getting tickets for Hendrickson last year and the public sale started September 1st. There are group sales in August for the schools so they can get block tickets together.
  8. Advanced Small Division Results: Best Snare - McCallum Best Tenors - Hutto Best Front Ensemble - Rouse Best Bass - Hendrickson 1st - McCallum 2nd - Hendrickson 3rd - Hutto
  9. Hendrickson had a relatively young band last year with a rather small senior class. They should keep the momentum going next year with their improvements from the beginning of last year to their 10th place at UIL. The staff should all be remaining the same next year so that will help tremendously with the continuity of improvements. Really looking forward to their show next year and this leap to Grand Nats for the first time in school history.
