SA2020 Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Anybody know why Churchill dropped out of BOA SA and went there instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Anybody know why Churchill dropped out of BOA SA and went there instead? That's really odd. Churchill has always been a BOA band. Now I am really wondering why they dropped too. I love competing against them -- and they are the first band to know who I was without anyone there even meeting me in person. Bummer.

They have a new director, and often when that happens, bands take on a less ambitious contest schedule so the new staff can test the waters.

jjblob Posted July 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 True true, I just hope that they don't stomp on the regulars of us bands too hard. I'm pulling through for Anderson to repeat win though dmcampos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJBandPops Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 They have a new director, and often when that happens, bands take on a less ambitious contest schedule so the new staff can test the waters. I had heard through the rumor mill that with a new director coming in that they did not commit/sign up -they are going to McAllen (first time attendee) but are not going to the BOA events in Austin, Houston or SA - where they have been regulars for as long as I can remember. New Director, new ideas - could be a start of their return - they have been consistent BOA Finalists the past decade but had been missing some of their shine as of late.

MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thank you for the info. I knew they had a new director but they have always been a BOA band so it's weird to see them back off a bit after so long. Like I said, I loved competing against them. They are kind of our friendly "nemesis" right now if you know what I mean. (As with Judson, I suppose. We still talk about how they beat us by a tenth of a point at Yamaha Cup: Converse in 2016.

Guest Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Why is Churchill going to this instead of San Antonio? It doesn’t make much sense to me unless they’re looking for an almost certain medal to motivate the band. Also with Churchill skipping Austin and making a near identical trip later in the season seems odd too New staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog885 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Looks like Adamson (Dallas), Lehman (Kyle), and Canyon (New Braunfels) were added, so it's looking like this will be pretty a competitive competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjblob Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 What's Dripping Springs plan with going to usbands here? Medaling is already going to be tough for regulars at this event but now with the addition of DS it's even tougher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I wish Dripping Springs would do BOA SA I know that in 2017 they would’ve absolutely been in the talks at San Antonio for a final spot, same with 18’. I’m actually not sure if they’re on a rotation of not on UIL Years and they didn’t go last year because they went to St Louis instead that sounds like a possibility but I’m not sure Saxman1324 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxman1324 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I think that Dripping Springs is starting to use this contest because it is right before 5A state. It is a little closer and the chances of them having two lower pressure performances to lock in the past week of improvement helps them a lot late in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrglinares Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 New staff is a good point and along side that it could be that they were late to sign up (cause of the new staff adjusting) From my understanding, there was miscommunication with the schedules which led to missing some BOA's, especially SA which is a great barometer of where the program stands and, is in our own backyard. WC was on the waiting list but, we were too far out to make the cut. Their show is great this year, just disappointed that it will not be presented at SA BOA.
