Dallas Hobbs

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!
