mbui Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Huh, Arlington is a week earlier then it usually is, kind of like it was in 2006. Houston is also a week or so later. Wonder what the reasons for swapping dates are. They're probably just alternating the dates for the two Regional from now on. Just making it a little easier for the bands in both the Houston and Dallas areas. That way Houston bands don't have to travel all the way to Dallas every year for a mid-October Regional and vice versa with Dallas bands traveling to Houston for a later Regional.

Danpod Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Alright, here my quick thoughts: http://www.musicforall.org/Programs/Region...allPreview.aspx I am anticipating a TON of programs from the Austin and San Antonio area to attend this Fall Preview Experience. The more performances you can get in a UIL 5A State year, the better. Arlington becomes the first Regional in the State of Texas this year, instead of Houston. Arlington and Houston are still performing on consecutive weeks. Arlington comes one week after the Fall Preview Experience in Austin. Sound Check at Lucas Oil Stadium?????? This sounds like a huge festival to celebrate Music For All's arrival at the new state-of-the-art venue. When we find out more information, we'll be sure to pass it on. The El Paso Regional has been eliminated. Instead, they have moved the Regional only 45 miles north to Las Cruces, New Mexico. On a more personal note, I wish we could land better venues for the "West Texas" Regional. The Atlanta and San Antonio Super Regionals are on the same weekend. This could make things very interesting, depending on which bands from Texas attend Nationals this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmbalash Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) Sound Check at Lucas Oil Stadium?????? This sounds like a huge festival to celebrate Music For All's arrival at the new state-of-the-art venue. When we find out more information, we'll be sure to pass it on. Sound Check Sound Check at Lucas Oil Stadium Join us for a special, once-in a lifetime opportunity to be one of the first bands to perform in the first marching band event at Lucas Oil Stadium, the new home of Bands of America Grand Nationals. This event literally will be a "sound check" for Bands of America and its participants, performing in the first stadium specifically designed with marching band performances in mind. Home to the BOA Grand Nationals, the BOA Indianapolis Regional, the ISSMA State Championships and Drum Corps International Championships, Lucas Oil Stadium will be the national crossroads and focal point of America's marching musical activities. Sound Check at Lucas Oil Stadium will allow bands to hear and experiment first hand with the new flow, logistics and acoustics of Lucas Oil Stadium. Like the stadium itself, Sound Check at Lucas Oil Stadium is a new event, giving bands a 15-minute time slot for a sound check, a performance with professional input or BOA competitive experience. Participants can choose to do a literal sound check, to do a run through performance with input from four BOA evaluators or compete in the evening in an event with a full BOA judging panel. Participating bands can also sign-up for a BOA Fall Preview Experience type In-Depth Clinic and Input on Sunday, September 28. BOA will also schedule opportunities for directors new to BOA to meet and interact with directors that regularly participate in BOA events. Jolesch Photography will be onsite to make special commemorative group and candid photos of your experience. Other special programming will be offered to allow participants to become more familiar with BOA and its offerings. Register today on the Sound Check at Lucas Oil Stadium Application or online at musicforall.org. Sound Check at Lucas Oil Stadium will be a working celebration, open to all bands, regardless of whether you regularly participate in BOA events. Come celebrate the completion of the new Lucas Oil Stadium with us, and get a "heads up" on the new venue in this specical opportunity. Looking at the "Sound Check" application, there's 3 performance options: 1. Sound Check–Run Throughs and Audio Check 2. Performance with Input (Four BOA Evaluators - Ensemble and Effect) 3. Evening Competition (Seven Judge BOA Panel) Edited December 22, 2007 by dmbalash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! That regional deserved a nice venue to compete in, not just some random high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Looks like I'm out of luck for this year, Neveda and California isn't what I would call close for driving or flying without spending more money than I want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
