Danpod Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Interesting note on the application: If more than 50 bands are signed up for the Super Regional by May 14th, separate judging panels for Prelims and Finals will be used. If less than 50 bands are signed up by May 14th, one judging panel will be used for Prelims and Finals. This cutoff date is something to look forward to, seeing that two different panels have the potential of really mixing things up. Also, BOA has the right to cancel a Regional if fewer than 18 programs are registered by May 14th. Keep in mind that BOA doesn't necessarily have to cancel the Regional if the attendance "requirement" is not met. A similar provision was in place last season, yet the Towson, Maryland Regional went on as scheduled, despite only featuring 12 programs.

fatdaddy Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 It is not for sure yet, but it looks like Friendswood is going to take a shot at Grand Nationals BOA in fall of 2010. Parents have already been consulted, and it looks like a go. This is a big jump for Friendswood, we have always been more of a UIL style band, but in the last couple of years, Mr. Dick has become a lot more positive on BOA styles. This is a HUGE jump for a 4A school, climbing into the BIG Leagues. Wish us luck, hopefully we can represent Texas well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmbalash Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Love Friendswood. I hope y'all go and do well; put in a good word for us 4A bands Hmm. We sure they're still going? Looking at the calendar on their site, they have Arlington, Houston and San Antonio posted, but no Grand Nationals. Guess we'll just have to wait and see when BOA releases the lists.

titancoaster Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Friendswood will not be attending Grand Nationals this coming fall, instead they will be competiting at all three texas regionals. There were issues that kept them Texas bound for the 2010 season, but they are hoping to attend at some point in the future. FHS will be building off an amazing UIL year last year and try to take the BOA circuit by storm as they hope to see another finals show in San Antonio.

socaldrills Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hey! Danpod! Theirs 2 bands from SoCal to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellophone77 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) L. D. Bell is going...again xD Not a surprise actually, lol. Plano East is signed up for San Antonio which I believe is a first for them. With the redistricting currently going on in Plano I think there'll be a huge push from them this up coming year. Arlington looks like it'll be a good competition again, hope I can go. Edited April 3, 2010 by Mellophone77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhornsax Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Seems like the usual Texas grand nationals lineup. Bell leads some good bands that will definitely make a solid run for finals. Really curious to see what these bands dish out, especially CP and SFA. I think CP has really peaked these last few years and I can't wait to see what they're putting together for a grand nationals year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takigan Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Looks like Fossil Ridge will be all over the place this season. They're signed up for Arlington, San Antonio, St. Louis and Grand Nationals....good thing they're 4A now and this is a 5A State year...stacking that schedule against a UIL competition schedule would be a potent recipe for burnout.

dmbalash Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Houston regional moved to Woodforest National Bank Stadium in Conroe. More info on the stadium: http://www.hsgametime.com/houston/content/...x.415100aa.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Currently, the San Antonio Super Regional has 44 participants signed up. A Super Regional must have 45 or more programs signed up to grant 14 Finalist spots. Otherwise, 12 Finalists would be chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takigan Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Sweet! Now I only have to drive 30 minutes to the next town instead of 2 hours into inner city! Woodforest is a pretty nice stadium. It's slightly bigger than the RIG. I think the location is a little more ideal too. The Woodlands duo (Woodlands HS and College Park) got a nice break since the stadium's only a stone's throw away from them. SFA, Clear Brook, Alvin, Pasadena Memorial, Dawson, Friendswood and Pearland get screwed since it used to be in their own backyard and I could see Brazoswood potentially pulling out since what was once a 45 minute trip has now turned into a 2 1/2 hour trip. But the schools in Spring and Cy-Fair are now closer, and the Austin schools (Cedar Park, Leander, McNeil, Vandergrift) get their trip cut by about 30 minutes. I could see some of the south Houston schools pulling out and some of the schools in Klein and Conroe maybe throwing in their chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not 2 1/2 hours to get to get to Conroe. It's about 45-60 minutes from Sugar Land & Pearland. Brazoswood is the most southern school near the Gulf and it only takes about an hour and a half to Conroe. They've been to Conroe a plenty amount of times for the Lone Star Preview. I don't think moving out of Pearland will affect any of the attendance be it if you're from Houston or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphonipwn Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yes Arlington will be a great competition. And hopefully Legacy can actually compete next year and we can (God willingly) avoid a meltdown like last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdnblue142 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Woot Hoot! Hemet is a further drive for most of the schools competing. Curious why they chose this area. I think this will probably put an hour plus drive for MOST everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
