LeanderMomma Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hey sorry to interject into this conversation and in the wrong place (I just saw they you were online today so I figured you would come back to this topic) but I would like to offer you and anyone else who lives in Austin to come to the Bowie v. Madison game tonight at “burger” stadium. I personally can’t wait to see the Bowie band given how amazing they are. Hope to see you there! Yeah I saw that! If it wasn’t Leander’s first home game tonight I definitely would go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnercoverCop Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Any new predictions now with BOA Austin and the productions of show unfolding more and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJBandPops Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Any new predictions now with BOA Austin and the productions of show unfolding more and more it is going to be a crazy event for sure - no way to make a prediction yet, but based on what we have seen so far we can assume that CTJ, Leander and Vandegrift will all be in the top half of finals - should know more next week after we see the DFW (Hebron/FloMo/Bell/Keller) and Houston shows (Reagan/TWHS) that we have not seen in a scored BOA Event- looking at the BOA Schedules, Bowie and Vandy will be at Conroe next week so we will see their shows again. and the following week we see Marcus for the first time, and a few more of yesterdays finalist - (Round Rock/Cedar Park/Henny) in Waco. 3 of the top 4 from last nights finals CTJ/Leander/Vista Ridge do not have any BOA scored events until San Antonio SR - more than a month away, lots of time for them to make changes and polish that no one will see (or Score) until they hit the dome. and what we see from their UIL performances between now and then may not be what we see in the dome. I know that it is said every year, but this one may be the toughest one yet - and with no big groups going to GNats this year - everyone has their eye on the dome, for BOA SA and UIL 6A State whitewing09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadisonBandMan1 Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Dude - just put down the SMART phone and walk away - there is nothing to see here... Trust me I do put it down. This is just some free time I happen to have and I’m a little bored. I don’t know if you have noticed, but I have posted a lot less lately except for updates on the contest pages I started. I just like speculating and it’s intriguing to me reading through this stuff. Like I said, I’m not as attached to my phone as you may think.

I’m in six college classes, I don’t have that kind of time lol. Thanks for giving me a hard time Also, can’t wait for tomorrow either. I hope you like our show, because I know I do! I personally can’t wait to see Johnson and Reagan for the first time live during the marching season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1998-2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Across several of the threads people are commenting that Keller is traditionally a slow starter who finishes with force (I agree) and their fast start this year could be an early indication of what they are capable of by November. The scary part is the HEB Prelims and Finals were just their second and third full dress performances. I can't wait for BOA DFW with Hebron, Flower Mound, Cedar Park, etc. to see how this develops. Edit for clarification: I want it to be clear that I am not making any predictions regarding outcomes. That's not my thing. I strongly prefer broader discussions about the group of bands attending an event because I've seen how anything can happen once the music starts. For more than 20 years the Keller philosophy has been that they don't compete against anyone. They are in an ongoing personal and collective pursuit of excellence and they don't let judges define or distract them. Of course it's wonderful to be recognised but if the judges choose another band on a particular day it just means we all got to see another great band too. It's still a win for everyone involved (performers and spectators) if doing your best in the pursuit of excellence is the standard. E.g., last year the judges may have given the nod to CTJ but didn't we all win by being a part of those two days of unprecedented excellence on full display? With that in mind, I was simply expressing my anticipation of seeing how much everyone has grown from the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandwoww Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I similarly can’t wait to see how The Woodlands starts off as they historically fall in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamel18 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Keller has a more musical than visual show, many solos on the reed area but nothing like the 2016 show that they put together. Although some bands might be surprising from the area b uil group. Marching technique seems to have gotten a ton better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamel18 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 But in all honesty most bands have been deprived of any performances and competitions because of the weather in Texas ——— Florida —— and many other states FloMoParent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistaridgefan42069 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Pearland and Vista Ridge will be solidly in finals, Vista in top half CTJ will make top 5 Not a single person will guess the finals order correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I don’t think anyone will guess who will be IN finals. Also under-discussed thing: the new way finalists for super regionals are decided and if someone might get screwed over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelonfish Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 What are you referring to? It’s judged by every other block. Two sets of judges for prelims . And they alternate during blocks . So top 5 for even blocks and top 5 for odd blocks will advance and the the next 4 from all blocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChoirGuy Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Once we know the schedule (is that already out?) we can speculate who will get screwed over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natertater21000 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Our friend Daniel Valdez already put out a pretty comprehensive review of the rule change. Sounds like they are making a conscious effort to not screw anyone over by equally spreading out likely finalists throughout the pre lims schedule.

Trumpetman7 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I just listened to Leander’s full show and wow they sound amazing. Hearing Danzon on the field was pretty weird though because last year we played it for concert season, we had a trumpet solo rather than a trombone though. I can’t wait to see how they do here.
