LeanderMomma Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 That’s because Leander football is... not seeing its best days That's one way to put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanderMomma Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 I have heard the same from FB Parents - it is not the same without the band...... I have seen the local middle schools step up to support the marching programs of our high schools during these trips out of town when they miss games Yes someone usually covers for us as well. I believe that it was actually some parents who played instruments filling in for Leander that time. Which could help explain why the football parents begged us not to do that to them again.

Parkwoodmom Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 This is not confirmed, but if it plays out like it did in 2015, TWHS will not be performing in finals at this contest (assuming we qualify). There is an away football game that evening at Klein Cain and for some reason that takes priority. Utter hogwash in my view. Not again! They aren't even going to GN's this year and have to have another band cover for them. I heard there will be a new principal at the school. Maybe he/she will be more band friendly.....

TWHSParent Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 This year it might be that they have a football game during BOA San Antonio (speculation - haven’t checked schedule) We don't - the football game is Friday night at home before San Antonio this year. The only Saturday football games are October 6th and 13th. There will be a new principal at TWHS and a new Conroe ISD superintendent this year. Who knows how that may play out... Also, one of our percussion instructors is taking a role at the new high school in Conroe ISD (Grand Oaks). His replacement should be announced soon.

Churchill36595 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Why isn’t JET in the upper bubble? They placed 11th last year and made finals the year before. principalagent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWHSParent Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 With the latest update to our Charms calendar, every football game except the one on this day is listed. So if I was to read into that, along with the "All day event" statement for the Conroe BOA entry, I would conclude TWHS will participate in finals if they make it.

As a TWHS alumni parent, I sure hope so. Those kids work so hard and to have to miss for a football game stinks. When my son was there, they had to miss finals and it was so disappointing to all of them. Honestly if they asked the football team, they would probably vote to let the band kids "do their thing!" If it comes down to it, let us know who to send emails to??!!! TWHSParent and MadisonBandMan1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandBand347 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Interesting. I wonder why CTJ dropped it. One of their members said their comp schedule was so busy that the directors decided they needed one weekend off. Why they didn't pick a smaller regional to drop, we probably won't find out.

CTJ and Cedar park had the heaviest BOA schedule with 3 regional and the SA super regional in addition to UIL in a state year - so there is the workload and Conroe is an overnight trip so it could well be an expense issue as well- an attempt to keep the costs down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Cedar Park doesn’t have state this year, nor are they traveling as far as CTJ is this year, so that schedule is totally doable for them.

Gogogo Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 The San Antonio SAT is offered on the date of Conroe and BOA San Antonio. Also CT Johnson doesn’t have a game the Friday before Conroe so that may have been a factor. Conroe wouldn’t be an overnight trip as it’s only 3 hours from SA and Austin LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freanz Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Would swap Seven Lakes to lower bubble and JET to upper bubble based on previous years performances. Friendswood should probably be in upper bubble also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txbandfan89 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 @TWHSParent - have you figured out yet if they will be allowed to compete in Conroe BOA finals , assuming they qualify? I want to come watch that day, but usuallyt he daytime is sooooo hot so would like to come for finals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short answer - Yes, we will participate if we qualify (unless something changes over the next 5 weeks). That weekend is the only weekend without a football game on the schedule (other than the FB Team's off week later in October).

Yes, but it isn't on the band calendar. We'll perform in finals if we make it. I checked 2015, and it had the football game on the band calendar the evening of the Conroe contest. As I recall, McCullough covers for us about once a year, and this year that would be the needed help. No other major conflicts with UIL or San Antonio.
