[MadHornist]

How was Clear Brook’s preliminary performance?

Gooooooood morning and happy BOA South Houston day! As usual, I wish all the bands the best of luck and I pray we give it 100%! May the odds be ever in your favor!

If I remember correctly from last year, you’re foster, right? That was a great run!

[TheSV-001Gamer]

Does anybody know the full cost of an average band attending a BOA competition, it is sort of expensive right

Okay so the Dawson hype was real

[PearlandFluteMom]

Okay Dawson… I see you! Could clean a couple of things up, but it’s still early in the season and that run was final worthy imo. Dawson making Pearland proud!

Plus I'd add about 2-5k in miscellaneous expenses like for every contest. It depends on travel mostly.

Cy fair bottom half and Friendswood top half wow! I am very surprised to see Klein oak in after that run.. and Fulshear, clear brook, Tompkins out. Hope KO has a better run tonight because they have the potential to be great but they weren’t this morning.

huge congrats to clear lake!! First boa finals? Definitely first in a while. Well deserved!

[gw1zz3yy]

Is Cy-Fair going to perform for finals because it's their hoco today, apparently

They would’ve already dropped and not been announced if they weren’t. You will see them tonight.

[Mamabear]

Yes Cy fair will be there!

We will

[FwefewF]

Also am I just coping if I say Cy-Fair was on about 4 hours of sleep before our performance?

[packwick]

wiiild shifts from last week... cyfair beat friendswood by over 7 points, and cywoods by nearly 3 points at Conroe. wowzer!!

guess it's to be expected by now.

methinks the judges are happy that boa doesn't do critiques like wgi and dci, only clinics, bc i feel like they would get pressed a lot on their collective inconsistency...

[Oboeish20]

Ok, I was wrong on Dawson. Top half wow.

Is this their first time being top half at a BOA show?

The inconsistency is getting out of control tbh. They need to put in adequate training so you don’t have rogue judges going off the rails.
