justabandkid94 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Yes it is impressive, but being a gracious winner is a virtue. Yes, it is. Fortunately, I am old and not a troll band member brashly celebrating a victory. And not even from Dallas. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BandGuy2 Posted November 4, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I’m a related to Prosper and man, we did well and I’m excited for grand nationals. An 89.40 is definitely a great score and we’re happy with where we are. TrumpetorHorn, FloMoParent, JustBelieve and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nny14 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 15. Bowie 16. Prosper 17. Timber Creek 18. Coppell Looks like you needed a 90 to get into finals but none of the ones that missed got 90s Prosper can definitely make a case for national finals with that placement.

Txpharmguy Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 There are so many great bands here and just not enough slots. Two years ago an 85 got you into the finals and would have been 11th place. Now an 85 gets you top 30. That's crazy. justabandkid94 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bingogooberman Posted November 4, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 FloMo and CTJ are not the new Marcus/Bell because in those days it was literally impossible for anyone BUT them to win, They were in the stratosphere and the rest of us were on the ground. That was dominance. Nothing against FM and CTJ- they are truly elite, but it isn't difficult to imagine Reagan, or Hebron, or The Woodlands or Leander, etc. winning.

Popular Post zvchy Posted November 4, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I just want to say, because this will probably be overlooked, Hutto attended BOA SA this year for their first BOA appearance ever and got 45th place! As a Hutto Alumnus it is so amazing to see the kids far exceed everyone’s expectations. Hopefully someday soon we will be contenders for even higher placings.

bingogooberman Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 also, CTJ cracks the top 5 at San Antonio for the 8th consecutive year (2011-2018). This ties them for the all-time longest streak of top 5 finishes at this contest, the other being Marcus (2005-2012).

Txpharmguy Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Heck a 93.5 2 years ago would win. Today would have been good enough for 8th place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2013 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Round rock at 26th? I think that round rock needs to reevaluate their show concepts, they are a great band but their shows production seem to be holding them back. It's never too late to make some changes for the better I wish them luck at the state contest. A Testing Trumpet and scoobydoo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck Reagan almost won this thing. But looking at the results the past couple of years it sure seems like an either them or them situation.

takigan Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 45th is a pretty darn good placement at a contest like this. There are plenty of big names placing in the 30s and 40s (PESH, Wylie, Westwood, Weiss, Pflugerville, Keller Central, JET, Friendswood, Klein Oak etc.).

Omega Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well looking at recaps for the two probably surprise bands out of finals for me (Bowie and Cedar Park) it looks like for Bowie they simply didn't quite get there across the board. They were close but just needed a little extra. Cedar Park seems to tell a different story as the performance captions are strong and would have them in finals but GE was just low. Like really low. Like 21st overall low while Music and Visual were 11th and 12th respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Testing Trumpet Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well, Looks like the next 4 advancement was The Woodlands, LD Bell, Westlake, and Cedar Ridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandWatcher Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 BOA owes Cedar Park and Bowie an apology. Nothing against LD Bell and Westlake, but they were in finals because of lucking into panel 1. Finals scores back that up. Either BOA needs to get their judging panels to be more consistent (not sure how you do that since they’re people and prone to subjective differences) or you cap the contest at 60 bands and go back to one panel over two days. What’s been communicated today is that luck is every bit as important as show design and skill. Cedar Park not getting to perform at Waco might have factored but Bowie’s trajectory all season has been higher than Bell, Westlake, even Cedar Ridge and Hendrickson. Both CP’s and Bowie’s prelims runs were plenty good enough. Nobody probably cares tho. I’m sure Dan won’t spend 5 seconds talking about it on the pod.
