Nancy08 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 This is just a rumor, and i REALLY want to get it cleared up before it gets spread around any more. I heard Bowie may not go to state b/c Grand Nationals is the next day . Somehow I doubt it, but somebody who knows for sure clear this up for me.

get0verit Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 The Woodlands is doing it...and has done it the past couple of times. It should be even easier for Bowie since they're closer to San Antonio, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikilledabird39 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 The woodlands has to go up to SA this weekend for SR and then back up for state, then the day they get back from state (they will be getting to their school around 130) they leave for GN and are expected to go to school.

BowieTBMongoose Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 ok, first off where did you hear that? second i can say with complete confidence, and yes you can quote me on this Bowie is going to both state and grand nationals.

txbassbadass Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Serardian Posted on Oct 30 2006, 08:30 AM I doubt that..calendars have been around for 5000 years... Way to be an ****... But how would it be possible for a band to go to State in S.A. and then Grand Nats. in Illinois the next day. I'm not quite sure the Bowie directors know what's going on yet due to BOA not releasing a schedule yet. If they get a prelims spot on the 8th, I find it quite impossible, due to BOA rules of having equipment in Ind. early, for Bowie to visit both competitions. Please let me know if a schedule acctually has been released, and I just havn't found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphtone06 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I am pretty sure the band directors can request what prelims date they go in order to fit the bands needs way in advance. I believe Bell Churchill and The Woodlands have always gone on the second day of prelims by request. I would seriously doubt that Bowie and for that matter The Woodlands/Bell/Churchill who also are going to both would not have taken this situation into account when planning.

txbassbadass Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 That is probably not likely... at all... seeing as according to BOA's website, preformance times and dates are based around random draw. As is with almost any other competition. http://www.bands.org/public/events/gn/faq.asp#3 Unless I'm misinterpreting this, there's no way to request a date nor time regardless of any other conflict of schedules. Do you honestly think they'd let every band accross the nation request when they want to go? Doubtful. It's BOA, not the Humane Society.

euphtone06 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Well the 2 prelims days have completely different judging panels so if there is indeed an issue such as prior commitment (state) I dont see any unfair advantage. I have also noticed Carmel and Center Grove typically go on day 1 and Carmel has gone on day 1 since 2000 which is as far as i checked the odds of them drawing a day 1 time 5 years in a row is very slim.

Xenon Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 UIL 5A State is on Tuesday. BOA GN prelims are Thursday and Friday. There is more than enough time to travel between the two even if they have a Thursday morning prelims slot. LD Bell is doing it, The Woodlands is doing it, Churchill is doing it. Bowie can do it.

txbassbadass Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I could honestly care less if Leander goes to state or not, but they had an amazing show, which I thought was incredible due to their much smaller size in comparison to every other band in finals that night. All I can say is that if Bowie drops out, I wouldn't be suprised, and I'd be glad for Leander to have such an opportunity. I believe that without Leander's bad luck in both draws, Leander would be going in place of Akins (afterall, they only went home by one point), and I think they should have another chance. I would just like to know whether or not, for sure, if Bowie is dropping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txbassbadass Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Xenon Posted on Oct 30 2006, 05:46 PM UIL 5A State is on Tuesday. BOA GN prelims are Thursday and Friday. There is more than enough time to travel between the two even if they have a Thursday morning prelims slot. LD Bell is doing it, The Woodlands is doing it, Churchill is doing it. Bowie can do it. I could've swore I read that GN prelims were Wed.-Fri. If they got a spot on Wed. it'd be pretty hard to get all the equipment and the band up there that night, and even if they did, the members of the band would be exhausted. Would the directors really want that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsstephenyo Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 It really doesn't matter, because they're not in that position. They have ample time to drive from San Antonio to Indy for a prelims performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy08 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 So our directors shot down the rumor today, saying they very much doubt it's gonna happen. I didn't think it was true, and I figured this was the easiest way to get the facts straight. Good luck Bowie and Church Hill and all the other bands doing both!

Not only am i pretty sure, im positive that they can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be such a whining **** just because someone wants to know how a situation is going to be worked out. And I can read just fine. You don't need to put everything in CAPS. All I asked for was some validation, and I never got it. I'm sorry I obviously messed with quite the bipolar person, but I just wanted some proof. Like I said, chill, son.

titancoaster Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Bands have already been given estimate times for GN, if you live a certain distance away you can request which day, but you will usaully get an earlier time slot. Bowie is going sometime on friday, Connally is going at 10:15 thursday night (talk about luck, thats second to last), SFA is not going to GN for whoever said that, and Bell is postively going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second to last isn't bad though. I'm so excited about Grand Nationals. I really want to see Bell's show again. It's so cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
