BOA_DCI Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Speaking of Avon's tough schedule here's who they have to compete against at each. Canton- The returning 2nd place band is Moon Area if that says anything about Avon's competition Fisher's Invitational- Schedule isn't out yet, but I'm guessing Brownsburg is their comp. Dayton- Main comp is Carmel ISSMA Regional- This is just a qualifier for semi state Indy Super- Main comp is Carmel San Antonio - Main comp is Flower Mound, but many more bands will be gunning for Avon and Flomo Grand Nationals - comp from Broken Arrow, Carmel, Flower Mound, Mason, and The Woodlands One thing to note is that by nationals Avon will have already competed against Carmel, Flower Mound, and The Woodlands but not Broken Arrow or Mason. It will be interesting to see how things go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zururoua Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I've decided that my preseason top 5 is going to be Avon, Flomo, The Woodlands, Vandegrift, and CTJ in no particular order. The other groups I could see landing here are Leander, Hebron, Cedar Park, Reagan, and Marcus. CTJBandPops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to agree -Avon and Flomo are a given - but I think WL, Vandy and CTJ are set for a breakout year - it will be fun to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmartin1056 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I finally found a video of Avon from a week agoish, and they have some pretty nice sounds going on so far. Needs polishing (obviously) all the way around, but also seem to have nice drill moments. Really excited to see this show grow!

LKendrick Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 It's hard to predict this thing a day out let alone like three months. I'll pass for now. I do predict I am VERY excited to be heading down for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadisonBandMan1 Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Once Saturday night cones, can someone please take a crack at predictions here? It will finally be easier to make those predictions now that the season has actually started, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanderMomma Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Once Saturday night cones, can someone please take a crack at predictions here? It will finally be easier to make those predictions now that the season has actually started, right? Not at all. Need to see the first 3 weeks of BOA before decent predictions can be made. Obviously we can predict who we WANT to win, based on emotions and past history, but no one truly has any idea what will happen. FWIW, I hope to see some new bands in finals this year! Go #teamtexas!

It will finally be easier to make those predictions now that the season has actually started, right? Predicting San Antonio the day before is hard enough, doing it now with absolutely no exposure to 99% of the bands is nearly impossible; it'd pretty much be me looking at last year and kinda guessing the trajectory of each school. Pair that with the absolutely insane density of good bands and it just turns into a total guessing game. I do predict that coming and getting to experience this monster of a competition for the first time is going to be a pretty incredible experience for me.

And I don't think anyone would have predicted that Flower Mound would sweep finals last year or that The Woodlands would surge so late in the season either.

Guest Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Just my guess based on the trajectory you guys have taken the past few years. I can imagine in a few years there will be a 4th NEISD band performing Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
