MaryJoLisa Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 It appears that the schedule could be intact but rather there was a lottery for openings in the schedule whether it was a break or before/after the 2nd round of prelims. Perhaps it's possible Bowie asked CTJ if they could switch times since CTJ is in the San Antonio area? I just don't understand all the backlash and I don't think it's right for us to speculate and lash out at programs based on their luck of the draw. BOA is doing their job. Accomadations were made to these programs for missing their original scheduled time and they are trying to fix tomorrow's schedule accordingly. Pure speculation, but you may be right. Maybe Bowie drew the 4:30 slot, but CTJ agreed to switch with them, thereby allowing another band to have the 4:30 spot? Comments from earlier do indicate that Bowie drew the 4:30 spot. The bottom line is that I want every band to make it there to show off all the incredible work they have done this season. I wouldn't want anyone to have to travel in unsafe conditions to do it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
band_junkie Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 So is Round Rock back in for sure? Any news on Leander or VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Xenon Posted October 31, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 BOA is working *extremely* hard to try and get all of this worked out. Eric Martin (CEO) has personally been on the phone with band directors all day long trying to find any option that works. Edit: And not just on the phone with the immediately affected bands, but also with all the other bands trying to see if they can possibly take the earlier slots to free up the later ones.

Nny14 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 For sure? No. District will decide at 7 in the morning if itll be clear. 4:15 will only happen with their say so. As of football game concerns we'll just have our JV attend as to not have an absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

principalagent Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Pflugerville pulled 1 PM and is cleared to go. Not sure what Hendrickson pulled - heard 7:15 through the grapevine but don't know the veracity of that - and they don't have conclusive sources online, but it looks like they're going to go as well from what I can gather with Facebook comments.

principalagent Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Leander will only be performing in an unjudged exhibition during the judge's break at 1:15 to prepare for State. No evaluation, no chance at finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral Komeko Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 This is honestly awful, the exact opposite if Music for All's mission. Dripping Springs and Anderson have beautiful shows and could have made finals. I'll wish the remaining bands trapped in the rain the best of luck, a standing ovation from Westlake. Edit: Onto my applause is Leander, I'll watch their show for sure, again boa is screwing these band kids who all work super hard over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Leander has dropped out. Can't make their 6:45am performance time. However, they will be allowed to appear at 1:15pm in exhibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
