bossman Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 i would add Clear Brook to that finals list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsstephenyo Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Basing it off last year and experience.. the ones with stars are the EXPECTED for a spot in finals. Wow, really? Some of those bands you starred haven't been in a BOA Finals in recent history. Out of the bands you chose, I, personally, would take off Mabank, Newman Smith, Pleasant Grove, and Putnam City. That leaves 11 bands. The final few spots are gonna be a battle between Berkner, Colleyville Heritage, Mansfield, Clear Brook, and Martin. I think Clear Brook and Mansfield will get into finals, though. This should be a very good competition. Lots of good, solid bands are not gonna make it into finals. Here's my list: Coppell Haltom Hebron L. D. Bell Marcus Owasso Richland Westfield Clear Brook Mansfield Let's see if I'm right. I was dead-on last year for GN Finals. Maybe I still have a bit of luck? We'll see. Edit: Grammar reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegiphobe Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 One thing is for sure, it'll be fun to see what happens . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the terminator Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Berkner will be strong since troyka is there now, so they might move to a more BOA style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radchad Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Not to mention.. I think every band that made finals at the 2006 Arlington is there this year. Reagan would have been if they hadn't dropped. Plus those that went to State. Richland, Hebron, LD Bell, Marcus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't always agree with the judges. xD In my eyes, if a show has a theme.. and you add props and crazy guard costumes to it.. then the entire show needs to fit the theme ALONG with Great marching technique and outstanding musicianship. Also, I am tired of seeing bands with simple-**** drill and making it to the top. The reason the marching technique is so good is because the drill is easy. I admire bands with hard drill that do it well than bands who do easy drill excellently. It's a turn off when a band does too much standing still, easy music, or not hard enough guard work. I look at many different angles of a show.. so my opinions ususally come out way deeper and outlandish than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 So is this the one mcneil is going to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaverickBand15 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yes it is. I just said it's McNeil's 2st time at BOA...Our show is definitely good enough to make finals, but its whether the band is good enough. Even if we dont make finals...it should be a great experience.

mbui Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 QUOTE (radchad @ Sep 30 2007, 10:56 PM) D: A lot of people dropped out of the BOA Arlington. I know Hendrickson pulled out of BOA Arlington and is attending the Lone Star Preview in the Houston area instead. That's the only withdrawal that I know of. Ronald Reagan & The Woodlands were never registered for Arlington when the roster was released earlier this year. Don't know where people were getting that they were signed up.

PlayOboe Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I think all the confusion is coming from the predictions page. It looks like someone accidentally copied the entire last half of the BOA San Antonio schedule onto the drop down menu for Arlington predictions, hence the inclusion of Reagan, The Woodlands, Langham Creek, Roma, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its fixed now, and please feel free to repredict if your original list has the BOA SA bands on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfact Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'm semi-nervous mostly because we added so many new visuals/elements to our show TODAY that I'm just nervous and hoping that we don't forget them all and fold. It will be interesting to see how everything goes down. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsstephenyo Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Ok, time for final predictions... Here we go. Coppell HS, TX Richland HS, TX Arlington Martin HS, TX Haltom HS, TX Clear Brook HS, TX Marcus HS, TX Owasso HS, OK Hebron HS, TX Westfield HS, TX L.D. Bell HS, TX Ah, I think this list is different from what I had originally predicted. It pained me to take off Mansfield and Colleyville Heritage. We'll see, though.
