  1. Gang as I have done in the past, I have created a Facebook page dedicated to the 2023 Grand Nationals and the #teamtexas programs that will compete in Indy in November. It is a private page that request that you state the program you support or follow - it does not have to be a program attending. it is just to weed out the scammers that try to get into these group pages and steal your info. as we have done in past years, The Bands of Claudia Taylor Johnson Foundation will be selling hoodies and long/short sleeved t-shirts with our #teamtexas logo and the name of the participating schools on the back. these funds go to support the attending programs as well as the CTJ foundation and their support of the Mr. Holland's Opus Fund and the CTJ Band cluster schools. if you would like to join the group search for "#teamtexas 2023 Grand Nats on Facebook and answer the question of the program you support and we will get you added. the site is intended to allow each program to share their season up to and including their trip to Grand Nats. in the past it has been a great time sharing our kids adventures. we will start sharing the info on the shirts/hoodies in July. they will be done through TMF and products you order will be shipped to your home address anywhere in the U.S. via USPS. Currently I have mostly confirmed that CTJ, TWHS and Keller will be attending Grand Nats - that may increase or decrease as the new UIL State changes are worked out. the Bands of Claudia Taylor Johnson Foundation is proud to support this project as a means to provide financial support of our cluster - check us out on Facebook or our web page at https://www.thebandsofctjfoundation.org/
  2. Gang for many of you that where in Indy in 2019 with the Texas 6 pack recall, we had a gathering on Friday night to get together to watch the Flo-Marching steam of the Prelims announcements and hear that all 6 Texas Bands had advanced to Semi-Finals. We had some great alumni parents from a lot of Texas Programs and even our honorary Avon Texas band. We had the TxBands folks, Horn rank, some of the MFA/BOA staff, some band directors and even Eric Martin, then CEO of MFA/BOA came to speak with us prior to heading back to participate in the announcements. At that time the Westin had vacated a Shula's steak house and we were able to get a meeting room in that space and food/drinks at a reasonable cost, I have spoken to all of the Marriott hotels in Downtown and the cost of a room and the A/V connections have a cost requirement of more than $100 per head. so I had been working on some other options. As you know, Eric Martin stepped down last year as CEO of MFA/BOA during Covid. My wife and I have been invited to his retirement party at Lucas Oil on Friday night prior to the announcements for semi-finals. I have met Eric a few times during his trips to San Antonio and am grateful for his time to speak to our group at grand nats and feel the need to attend this event. sadly, we will not be having a Friday night event at Indy this year. I apologize as I truly enjoyed getting to meet the people behind the TXBands screen names and share our passion for marching band even after our kids are no longer in the programs. If you are in the stadium - look for our Texas Flag (5' X 8') that will hang from the suite every time a Texas band enters the field for finals - and don't forget to sing "deep in the heart of Texas" with us as they enter the field in Finals. Safe Travels to all
  3. for those of you that are planning on attending BOA Grand Nationals but do not have access to a program that is attending to join their group purchase for a block of seats. The BOA Grand Nationals tickets will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday Sept 1st - if you need to purchase tickets, please keep a close eye on it as we do not know at this point what the Covid-19 social distancing will look like in December. Most attending schools that are attending will do block orders so they can sit together but there are reserved options for Semi's and reserved and club level options for Finals. I have attached the options and pricing for semis and finals for your review - again - opening 9/1 SemiFinals.TICKETMAP.pdf TICKET.MAPFINAL.pdf
