northtexasbandfan Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Why not? Flower Mound has told its students and parents that it will attend in 2017. Anyone else confirmed (or even rumored)? NTXBandFan and euphaloof 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LKendrick Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Can probably count on The Woodlands, have gone ever odd year since 2007. Will Marcus go where Flower Mound is? I know there was supposed to be a 4 year cycle of the LISD schools but the 6A state schedule might have thrown a wrench in even years. On that cycle it'd be Marcus's turn as well. I've heard rumblings of two schools not listed, but I'm not big on spreading rumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely event, but it's stuff that band nerd dreams are made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingogooberman Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Fairly certain both Flower Mound and Marcus will attend next year, due to the new state schedule. I would imagine we won't see many more bands opting to attend nationals on a state year due to the amount of consecutive days students would be out of class. Woodlands and Round Rock seem like sure things as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherRoden Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 How do the Texas bands typically get all their gear and students to Indy? Do they fly the students and drive the trailer there? Or does everyone stay with the trailer and go by bus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natertater21000 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Both, just depends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrumpetorHorn Posted November 14, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I spoke with a Marcus parent at BOASA and she told me they are going to GN next year. Flower Mound is confirmed to go as well. Can't wait!!!!! whitewing09, northtexasbandfan and Nny14 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, I think Round Rock flew their kids up last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Round Rock flew up both times they went. Nny14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Culper Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I know The Woodlands flew last year and Leander and CP flew this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenon Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I know that Leander flew because they were in the Indianapolis airport with me at 3am on Sunday. principalagent and JC18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I wonder if Vandegrift or Vista Ridge will go since Leander and CP went this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magma31651 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I think Keller and Keller Central are going back next year. Pretty sure they're on every-other year rotation. Magma31651 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Testing Trumpet Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 After U.I.L. 6A Finals, I talked to a Keller student and they told me that they are going every three years. This might change, but it's something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LKendrick Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I bet most 6As will attend on non state years now, I believe the change to a Wednesday morning finals came well after most bands had planned the trip. If they had known about that I bet most would have waited another year. FloMoParent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 One thing to keep in mind is that Grand Nationals most of the time is not the weekend immediately after UIL State. Most of the time there has been a week between the two, but this year, State was a week later than normal because the first Monday of November was the 7th, causing it to be the latest date State could possibly be. bbands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magma31651 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 So does this mean that Texas isn't going to send as many bands as we usually do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandG33k73 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 So does this mean that Texas isn't going to send as many bands as we usually do? I'm sure there will be several bands that go, most likely haven't and won't announce for a little bit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but wonder if this might also be a contributing factor to the less than stellar performance of #teamtexas this year.
