theotterarjun Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 As a college band student, I actually discovered TXBands.com this past year during BOA San Antonio because of someone showing me the live blog talking about UT Arlington's exhibition performance of "Heroes and Spies." That said, what would y'all say are the most memorable groups/performances y'all have seen by college bands at BOA events? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanderMomma Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 YESSSSSS TO BOTH OF THESE!!!! I'll never ever forget how fun that Prairie View A&M band was. Talk about a crowd pleaser!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog885 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Prairie View was too much fun. We approached one of our directors who was the bari solo in Crossmen 2012 for Earthsong and all he said was, "I know" LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHSbandDad Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 About 5-6 years ago Texas Tech performed in San Antonio right before finals announcements. I wish BOA could get some of the larger Texas Universities like UT, A&M, UH, etc. to perform at this Super Regional. Seems like it is big enough and has enough potential students to attract their interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWHSParent Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 About 5-6 years ago Texas Tech performed in San Antonio right before finals announcements.

Seems like it is big enough and has enough potential students to attract their interest. UH performed at the Houston Regional this year. Lamar performed at Area F, and they are also performing at BOA San Antonio Saturday night after finals. I think much also rides on where the bands are in relation to each contest. Since these happen on Saturdays, the college bands are very much tied to the football schedule. All that said, I agree - getting the big ones in would be great! Oh, and the college programs are absolutely interested, it is a matter of schedule and travel. LHSbandDad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBbaritone Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I was in the UTSA color guard when we performed at the 2016 BOA SA Super Regional. One of the standout performances of my marching days; the crowd reaction was INSANE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bksatx Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 This past weekend at Area A, the Hardin-Simmons University "World Famous" Cowboy Band was the exhibition band. I was in the Cowboy Band back in the day. An awesome experience and something I am still involved with 25 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
