bancl Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Now that this is breaking on HornRank... Word is getting out that a certain well-known district will not be attending the BOASA show this year. If the rumors are true, as many as 6 of last year's finalists will not be attending this year.

The current speculation seems to be Lewisville ISD, which wouldn’t surprise me with State being before this comp, and it would also give Hebron some much needed rest time before going up to Grand Nats.

Yeah, it’s probably them not going, which I get, there would be a new winner, but also sad, because how doesn’t want to watch 3 of the best bands in the nation. I hope Hebron, if it is them, with this small break between now and Nats is able to get some good “recovery” before hopefully making history for the program, and maybe boa with a new record 🤞 whoever it ends up being, we will miss, but it will also allow for new finalist, which will be exciting! Would love for TC or KC to make finals! LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love for TC or KC to make finals! I agree with you and also have mixed feelings about it. While the (rumored) absence of the LISD (north) bands here will be hugely felt, it does indeed open the door for potential new finalists at BOA SA which is something I’ve been wanting to see for years.

bancl Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 So, based off of last year's results, the next 6 in (if that's how many returning finalists don't attend) would be, in order: 15. James Bowie 16. Leander 17. Timber Creek 18. Keller Central 19. Westlake 20. Waxahachie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cy woods and bridgeland were pretty close last year and they've been getting better with each season, I would say cy-fair is in that realm too but they seemed to dip in performance level after the area contest this past year Tubalord11, Nepsu and Ranxh1938292 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidal28 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 I still wonder what will happen with the grand nats groups and their incoming decisions to either attend state, SA, both, or neither. I know that there’s been some apparent decisions made to where some districts have decided not to have their bands attend SA for the sake of focusing on UIL, which is interesting. I wonder for The Woodlands, are they gonna do all 3 this year? SA, State, and Grand Nats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this year it'll be many days in between each contest. Couldn't believe that reagan, CTJ, and Marcus did all 3 within 9 days in 2021. 13 days for all 3 is still tough though.

I’ll never forget my daughter’s Senior year at Leander when they medaled at BOA SA with the Fourth Dimension, took seventh their first season as a 6A state band a few days later, and then took 6th at GN 4 days after UIL! 8 days of INSANITY. It was an exhausting but incredible week. BDC, WoodlandsMom4ever and lhbenlee 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubalord11 Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 My two to not make it would probably be between Timber Creek, Wakeland or LD Bell, possibly rouse or Leander. For Wakeland and TC, both are getting new directors, TCs is still unknown( unless it’s not) and Wakeland is getting TCs most recent one, and Bell just seems to be struggling to make finals at anything beyond DFW and local comps. Leander and Rouse should be fine, but just basing off last year, especially for Rouse, there’s still a chance they don’t. I’m really hoping KC and TC both make it Dave609 and Magma31651 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay well considering how well they’ve been doing, especially since 2019 on, I think they still have a really strong shot at finals here! Also just saw he’s been with them for now 11 years, so yeah knowing his work with them, they have a huge shot at finals here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been placing pretty low at state recently, not really anywhere close to the likes of bell or Cy Woods, but probably could compete with LT, but they aren’t the same program they used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
