You can say that about every Round Rock show since 2017. They are really refining the process to peak at Grand Nationals

Groups will know their placements but I don’t know if they get their score.

Yeah, I should have been more specific; BOA doesn't leak stuff to the public unlike UIL, though I'd love for placements to get leaked lol

Thank you so much! Crazy schedule to say the least, can't wait to watch all 8 of our #TeamTexas bands perform tomorrow (hopefully twice each)! 

[Hard Core Band Fan]

So basically, all 8 Texas bands will have to beat Brownsburg to make finals.

Are you automatically assuming that Fishers and Bentonville will place behind Brownsburg? I’m guessing of the non-TX bands, William Mason, Avon, Carmel, and Blue Springs are in. But I feel like finals bubble is bigger than just the Bowie, Dripping Springs, Keller, and Brownsburg.

 

Either way I’m excited for the results from tomorrow afternoon.

[crunchycookie3]

Does anyone happen to have any videos from prelims? I’m curious to see how the TX bands performed!!

Yes, Brownsburg seemed to have a better performance than all of the non-Texas bands other than Avon, Carmel, Mason, and Blue Springs. I'm not sure that all 8 of the Texas bands had better performances than Brownsburg and a couple of others. Just saying that I thought they would be the biggest obstacle to getting all 8 into finals. Of course tomorrow is a different day.

OK that makes more sense. Personally I only see 3 or 4 Texas bands placing above Brownsburg but you never know.

Good morning everyone! We are here live on Box5 for the BOA Grand Nationals Semi-Finals, which will start shortly the Marian Catholic HS marching band! It's crazy to think today is the last day of the season, I mean I remember the first day like it was sometime last week, and to think after today it will be over is crazy, so to all the bands performing today, give it your all, and best of luck to all the bands performing today! 

[Tubalord11]

Hello there Marian Catholic!!! I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were our class A program, because that was incredible! Huge fan of that music book, and omg the metal percussion feature was SO tight! Soloist were great all around, and for their size, they are executing a pretty hard music book and playing with such a big sound! Some visual dirt but I think they have a very strong chance of performing again tonight, great job Marian Catholic!
