takigan Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Interesting....5-10 are tough because of how close it was at Area H as well as BOA San Antonio, and different bands beat each other at different contests but not at others.1.

takigan Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Top 3 are obvious. NB at 4th because they tied Churchill @ 6A Area D finals and have several years of Area finalist success.  Stevens in 5th because of their 13th place finish at BOA Austin.For the remainder it's very close; much closer than the Top 5.  But since O'Connor, Seguin and Judson have enjoyed many years of competitive success while Madison has risen only recently I put those 3 ahead of Madison (O'Connor @6th because of their high Area H prelims placement and they've been successful in both UIL and BOA including having some great breakout years, and Seguin @7th because they've consistently been more successful than Judson @ UIL).  Smithson Valley may have beaten Madison at Area H, but only by a tiny bit, and Madison also went to BOA San Antonio and ranked well, even surpassing bands that I ranked ahead of it....so I didn't see much reason to place S.Valley above Madison.Other bands that almost made the list were Brandeis and Taft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitewing09 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Since y'all are more connected to the area and I'm lazy I'm going to ask: besides Reagan and Churchill, Â which SA area bands had relatively recent director changes?

zururoua Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I believe CTJ had minor changes both going into last year and this year. From their website it looks like they got two new assistant directors this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark in NB Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Since y'all are more connected to the area and I'm lazy I'm going to ask: besides Reagan and Churchill, which SA area bands had relatively recent director changes? New Braunfels just got a new head director about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Also we have 2 new assistant directors finalized Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadisonBandMan1 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 So I have been thinking. I have decided from here on out I want this thread to be rankings of schools based on competition analysis during the season, and during the off-season I want people to compare how the bands did in the recent season and how they have done historically to base their rankings. This goes into effect now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadisonBandMan1 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Judging from history (although long ago), would you add John Marshall to this list? I know they used to be an awesome band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanderMomma Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Why does everyone think this is funny? Perhaps your approach is a bit high handed? Especially for a relative newcomer to this forum. You are a bit aggressive IMHO. But i do think you mean well.

MadisonBandMan1 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yeah really do mean well. I'm not trying to be mean or aggressive or anything, I just want to shake things up a little on the forum. LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beowulf Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Top 3 - Johnson, Reagan, Churchill - no other program in town can beat any of these three. 4 to 10 - O'Connor, Madison, Judson, MacArthur, Stevens, Brandeis, Steele  Prediction: look for MacArthur to possibly outperform all but the top 3.

What reasons make you believe mac will do that after they placed by far the lowest at BOA SA last year, and from what I remember didn't even make area?

Because although they have had a rough year, that dosent mean they cannot bounce back. They have had some incredibly entertaining, well performed shows (2014 comes to mind), and have the potential to really shine this year.

Guest Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 2018 season 1: Reagan 2: CTJ 3: Churchill 4: Madison (Soon we will see 4 big NEISD finalist BOA bands) 5: MacArthur 6: O'Connor 7: Brandies 8: Brennan 9: Taft 10: Stevens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Â How do you figure MacArthur ahead of the others when they finished below them head to head? When did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Â BOA San Antonio Either way there all great bands and belong in the top ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Â MacArthur made Area in 2018 Im pretty sure the only year Macarthur made a 2 was 2015, and they have made vast improvements since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
