Just call it Southern Nats and drop the Grand. Have it after UIL area and state. Hold it on the same day as Grand Nats. Add semis. Boycott Indy! Just saying.

I missed the announcement for Cy-Fair. Is this Free Fallin they are playing?

Once, while walking On the Waterfront, I was gazing out onto The Tremendous Sea of Love, pondering the meaning of life and feeling awed by the Polarity of the ocean and sand mixing together on the beach. I met an artist there named Leonardo and he told me of his Dream. He wanted to Sculpt a masterpiece of sand, sea, moon and stars from The 4th Dimension, but he was trapped in a Loop of uncertainty about how to take on this monumental task. I helped him build a menagerie of backdrops and props, and he thanked me and said that before I arrived, he was Lost but now he was Found. His masterpiece, known simply as Kevin, still stands in the BOA Hall of Fame in Indianapolis. I heard that it was going to be moved to Texas this fall.

Saw part of Hebron's show at Plano last nite.  A-MAZ-ING!  Did not catch the name of the show.

Hi
 
Yes -- Claudia Taylor Johnson is only planning to participate in prelims for area. We have been talking to Dr. Kent over the last few weeks about the best way to proceed without potentially affecting other schools and it seems that was the best compromise.
 
We began planning our nationals trip during the fall of 2014 knowing it would be a state year but not fully prepared for the decision to split state into two days, which we think is awesome ... but makes for an even longer week for our band members and the potential for up to four days of missed classss for them. We also want our truck and equipment to have ample time to travel / drive and with the potential for weather that time of year we really want our vehicles to leave Tuesday night and not mid day weds.
 
We love us some band ... but want our band members fully rested and charged for Indy. We don't go very often and want the trip to be very special and have them fresh for it.
 
We will be staying to watch area finals and cheer on the other groups and for future will not plan to do nationals on a state year again. We are appreciative of Dr. Kent's understanding and support and are excited for the weeks ahead! #teamTexas will be strong at nationals

Hard to believe a judge ranked Wakeland 10th in Area B finals.  Frisco Centennial and Wakeland should both make state finals and give Area D a run for the for the top spots,
