2022 BOA Grand Nationals (Nov. 10 - 12)

[BandFan59]

Box5 has released a statement on their social media regarding a rebroadcast of Grand Nationals:

"I wanted to let our friends know, that we at BOX5 are extremely devastated over the events that happened @ Grand Nationals yesterday.

Having been on phone calls all day, we finally believe we have a solution, we hope will alleviate at least some of the sting of last night for our customers and band families out there. Pending approval, we plan to rebroadcast the Bands of America Finals broadcast @ 7pm eastern, central, mountain and pacific every day this coming week (Mon. Nov 14 - 18). We are waiting for final approvals from BOA and we are working feverishly to encode and upload the uninterrupted broadcast to our streaming platform.

While this solution is not "ideal", it does have a silver lining. The incredible performers I saw in Lucas Oil last night will be able to watch their amazing accomplishment this season. And we can celebrate alongside them as much as possible.

We will reach out to all finals customers via email with instructions on how to watch. This email will contain other important information. Be on the lookout for this email.

I hope, from the bottom of my heart, you can find a way to forgive us and I guarantee we are already working on ways to improve our web infrastructure so this doesn't happen again for any of our performing members, friends, families and fans.

Sincerely,

Tim Snyder"

That's good! I personally don't know what happened last night since I was at work, but the fact that they are trying to fix it says a lot!

I would honestly LOVE for a time-limited rebroadcast of every contest to be an option. I know kids would love to be able to watch themselves perform after a memorable contest. Not every band has the time and resources to do a high quality recording of themselves at contests and I can imagine this being a decent revenue stream for Box5 or Flo or whoever.

I understand copyright issues are complicated but what a win this would be for just about everyone.

According to their home page, you have to log out, and back into your account and look in your subscriptions. Pick a time zone, etc.   I havent tried yet.

I submitted a ticket. They apologized and asked me to log out and back in. I did and the streams appeared for me!

Try log out of all devices (I had phone, appletv,  ipad, and 2 laptops logged in trying to get a connection last night.)

I am a numbers person at heart, so I totally get the need to try to compare scores, but I don't think you can AT ALL. I think it's useless.

 

 

 

 

I agree that this comparison is useless when you are trying to compare scores that are really close with one another.  In other words, I think it would be foolish to say that Carmel would hands down beat Hebron at Grands National based on those two scores.

However, where I think the comparison is valid is when the scores are much wider apart.  So I think we can all agree that the lower half of the Grand Nationals finals (whose highest score is 91.0) would have been pushed out of the finals if the upper half of San Antonio (whose lowest score was 93.4) had been present at Grand Nationals.  

Heck, Hendrickson finished 20th at San Antonio with an 85 and only improved to an 89 over the next week.  I imagine most of the San Antonio finals would have improved on their scores as well.  So if anything...the scores are little biased toward the Grand Nationals finals.

Nice little BOA 2022 wrap-up here, with TXBands bloggers. I'd be interested to see the notes Daniel Valdez said he was taking on Carmel's GN finals performance.

I kinda do wish there was a bit more back-and-forth discussion about a band that was mentioned, instead of one of our commentators being much of the voice monopolizing the conversation when it came to talking about a group, not that it was intentional I’m sure, the guys are all trying not to step on each other’s toes,  giving everyone their time to shine and talk with their insight, and they’re all nice individuals. I just kinda do like that nature of piggy-backing off of someone’s thoughts, adding one’s own perspective as to what someone led off with and have a more “round-table” kind of approach to discussion, not that what I’m saying wasn’t happening, I just wish there was more of it, it’s still a very interesting video to watch.
