Never mind, I found the post on their Band Boosters' Facebook group. Looks like the Vista Ridge Band Boosters helped amplify their call for help and Pflugerville now has "more than enough funds to feed the students this weekend. Any funds not used on food for this weekend will go directly to the students to help with unpaid band fees and future meals." I love the band community. 🥹

Vista amplified it and between Vista & Vandy they were able to meet the need within a couple of hours and have extra left over.  Lots of “band is family” love being shown this year  😊

Indeed, it's been great to see the support.

To answer your question, yes Glenn as well as every other LISD marching band, is going to BOA-SA this year.

I think they'd probably need to rent several box trucks for the front ensemble, electricals and electronics, tubas, and large battery percussion. Students can carry all the smaller winds and their uniforms on the buses if necessary.  Heck that's what we used to do back in the day, only tubas and general equipment went on our (much smaller) trailer.  Everybody else took their wind instruments and uniforms with them.

 

The Texas State Bobcat Band loaned them their trailer! 

PS Vandy uniforms generally go on the bus with the kids.

I tried talking to customer service and they just said they’re working on it.

Listen 

Holy cow, just got home from SA and immediately had to check what folks were saying. This made me LOL.  Literally, I chuckled.

Tough way to start, I think the kids held on and put it back together in the second half, fingers crossed for a good result.

Yeah, unfortunately... Seems mostly resolved...For now🥴

Looks like Keller Central's performance time moved from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., according to the MFA webpage for this event.

[Predictions] Block #3 Top 3 (Panel 1)

1. Moe & Gene Johnson

2. CTJ

3. Winston Churchill

Few in this block I could see as third...I don't think Round Rock had their best run, so I give WC the edge as of now (actually really enjoyed this show). I think M&G has a great show for this contest, and ATP still see them as a finalist since I think their brass had a better run then state prelims.

[WanderingTraveler]

Really enjoyed the soloist in the ballad for Piepers show! Great job, and beautiful tone!!

Where did you see this? I want to donate if this is the case, but I'm not seeing anything on Pflugerville's socials about this.

It was shared on the vista ridge band page.  It got shared to the vandegrift band page too .  The Pflugerville band page commented that they got more than enough donations to cover it.   Thankful for the band community.

[NotMyForte]

Wow. Vandegrift was so phenomenal.

[WanderingTraveler]

Vandegrift followed by Vista Ridge was such a treat. Crazy scheduling draw to put the area rivals right next to each other.

Friendly rivals 🙃

My Vandy band kid often talks about how well the two bands get along and how they cheer for each other.

They’re genuinely happy to see the other do well.

[Predictions] Block #4 Top 3 (Panel 2)

1. Vandegrift

2. Vista Ridge

3. Ronald Reagan

I think for this block #4, Im going to say Vista takes music…They have such a powerful sound while staying balanced. Vandegrift did great, no other words there. Really enjoy how much Reagans show conveys, even without props. The gap between these three I feel is small, but I still see it like this for now. Lake Travis was also producing some great sound, plus cool show theme. Lots of good bands in this block!

Do you have any predictions for the top in each panel for the whole day. Not just by block? Like maybe a top 5 panel.

Makes sense! I accidentally posted my most recent comment three times after hitting refresh bc the website looked frozen. Had to do a little cleanup 😅

[Ultimatedcifan]

how were Westwood and lake Travis 

[Sideswiperr]

I think something about this regional and the UIL state marching contest from this year is the “bandisfamily” quite literally becoming a reality here more than it has previously been I suppose
