Asaiah Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 (And sorry if I'm contributing to the derailment of this thread, but it's hard to talk about a band's show w/o video. And it's very easy when there is video!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Inspirational Pinecone Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Looks like someone posted a video of The Woodlands from their exhibition last night, I’d recommend watching before it gets taken down. The person that uploaded it decided to remove both my comment and the directors comment so we'll see if it gets taken down due to copyright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSHSMom Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Leander = Minnesota Vikings (always the bridesmaid and never the bride) The Vikings have played in Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX, and XI, though failing to win any of them. In addition, they have lost in their last six NFC Championship Game appearances since 1978. (Info taken from Wikipedia). And us Packers fans are quick to point out that The Vikings have never won a Suoerbowl LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meursault Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 somewhat off topic from the current discussion, but it still makes absolutely NO sense to me that there's no semi-finals at San Antonio despite there being MORE BANDS here than at Grand Nats. BOA has got to think about revising the structure of this contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbassoon Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 To be fair, it takes time to plan schedules with school districts and stuff like that. It's quite the logistical task for BOA. The growth in band participation happened quite rapidly. I don't doubt something will be done about it in the future, but again it takes time.

Popular Post LostChoirGuy Posted October 14, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hopefully they introduce semis at San Antonio next year. I'm getting excited just thinking about predicting a top 30 instead of top 14. Wow I'm pathetic.

LeanderMomma Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I definitely foresee a future where we have the prelims/semis/finals format in San Antonio but they will have to do some extensive preparations and planning to make it happen. But Katy bar the door when they do! Grand Nationals South will be quite the experience. vbassoon and meursault 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWHSParent Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 If they do that, then I would expect finals will mirror GN - 12 rather than 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be fun to coordinate a 'Texas' shout-out whenever the BOA announcer makes the claim of Indy being the marching band capital in the nation.... In a fun way....not being disrespectful.

LHSbandDad Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Here are my predictions for SA Finals: 1. Average score of all finalists to break a BOA SA finals record for cumulative finalists average 2. Top half scores to rival GN on any given year 3. Bottom half scores to be comparable to any other BOA Regional or Super Regional top half in the country 4. The "next 10" bands not in finals (15-24) scores will be good enough to have made finals at any other BOA Regional or Super Regional Visitor2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanderMomma Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I hear ya on those scores. I think this will be the SA Super that blew up BOA. And the Alamodome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloMoParent Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Not Texas but Avon would probably be the Steelers. Multiple championships while playing with a real tough attitude. The Steelers always play hard nose football and Avon always has extremely tough and challenging shows. Also black and gold. I'm a HUGE Steeler fan.

NTxBandMom8 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 The regular Oreo has the perfect ration of cookie to creme filling. The Double Stuf Oreos have too much creme filling. Nabisco got greedy and now, we have Swedish Fish Oreos which is basically the same thing as eating a block of arsenic. Anyways, this contest is ridiculous. I will need a lot of Big Bib BBQ to get through it I believe a certain kid I know now has this as his background screen.

Popular Post allyarcher Posted October 15, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Still don't know if I'm going or not. Would love to go to support as an alumni (Oak Ridge) and also see bands that have improved. Still in shock Seven Lakes didn't make finals at BOA Houston because they were always right with Oak Ridge, JET and Brazoswood, but it shows that bands are constantly improving and if you don't keep up with the momentum, you'll be left in the dust. I've also been wanting to see CTJ all season and see their Lion King show. Will LOVE to see #TeamTexas and the 6. Gotta say, I am swooned by TWHS show this year. I'll be honest, I didn't like it when I saw it at the game between Oak Ridge, but then I was on board second I saw it at BOA Houston then the exhibition for Lone Star preview. Definitely rooting for the Highlanders. I also just want to see the "bloodbath" bands, aka 14th-30th. Those rankings right outside of finals are always on top of each other. Would also love to see the out-of-state bands or the honorary Texas bands considering I don't really know about bands that aren't in Texas or GN consistent finalists. If not, will definitely try to catch FloMarching. Good luck. gregorydf01, Avisshadow, LHSbandDad and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
