I like the third one best. What about you guys? Or do you have a different suggestion?

So out of 10 editions of SA super regional + biggest conference state contests years, only 4 times has a band won both, and only 3 programs have accomplished this! And all three programs are the Lewisville trio!(my faves)😩 Similar thing is true for the simultaneous 19 editions of SASR and state contest regardless of conference. Just 4 times has a group won both, and just 3 bands have accomplished it. We should come up with a term for accomplishing this feat. I have 3 suggestions: • The San Antonio-State Double • The Alamodome Double •The roadrunner double

Rats! you beat me to it🤣 I’ll of course clarify that the programs in 2010 onward are San Antonio super regional champs while the previous groups won SA when it was just a regional.

Oh ok. Why was their grand nats participation contingent on that?

Another fun fact is that every biggest conference state year since 2006 the BOA SA champ has medaled at state.

If they make finals at which competition?

That’s 8/12 projected finalists 😩

Brilliantly stated! My favorite thing about the BOA activity is how easy it is to track the progress of a band over time. And I like how easy it is to dissect the different strengths, limitations, or weaknesses of a program because I’ve seen bands score and place similarly in the same sub-captions over the years.

I always believed they could make it however I must say them placing 7th impressed me bc I wasn’t sure where they’d end up after being first out at boa Dallas and not making state. Go DFW!!

Calling it useless is harsh and unnecessary. I think it is most useful when comparing bands that have performed at the same contests since sometimes programs peak at SA and score lower at grand nats. But i like the comparisons because it says a lot about how well a program is performing that season if they manage to score higher than a grand nats finalist.

Also it’s funny how everyone also calls them ABC. I thought I was the only one lol

Because the bands are out of this world. alright that’s enough puns for the season

The class 2A champ tarpon springs beat class 2A runner-up Morton by 10.425 points…

2017 when Avon came down to San Antonio was one of my favorite competitions!

In finals, Carmel got 5 1st place scores from the judges. 1 other judge had them 2nd in Ind. Visual and the other had them 3rd in Visual GE

This year the placement was C.A.B. Well we should all order those kids a cab so we can see how they stack up against Texas bands.

Impressively I correctly predicted this ordering but I didn’t put them in the right places 🙈

Broken Arrow was first in prelims.

M&G Johnson was 15th with a score of 87.250 in semifinals

My internet fingers are faster! 😤 and yes it was a blast doing play by play for all of the contests this season. This was my first seasons being a Txbands forum user and it was a lot of fun chatting with you all! Congrats to Carmel and all the other finalist bands!
