Popular Post packwick Posted June 15, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 ya know, back in the day BOA had the regional and nats participants posted on their website by April and ppl wouldn't have to trawl band calendars for dates. wonderin why they don't do that anymore. wgi is able to have the current entries updated as soon as units sign up. but i guess of the 3 major marching arts orgs wgi prob has their s*** together the most. oh wellz.

Bill_Hou Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 No Cy-Fair at this years BOA San Antonio. Just too expensive so they will stick to their every other year schedule for now. Ranxh1938292 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packwick Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 is it "only" Coppell, Flower Mound, and Keller that will be missing in this yr's finals compared to last? too lazy to check and compare. supposedly Hebron and Marcus are still going.

BandNerd07 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Really! I just assumed that Hebron was skipping SA because they were going to GN. But that's gonna be a crazy 2 weeks for Hebron as they plan on doing all 3 (State, BOA SA, and BOA GNats). Haven't really seen any program that has dared to do all 3 before.

Considering they all qualify for UIL State, Claudia Taylor Johnson, Hebron, James Bowie, Round Rock, and The Woodlands will each have a very busy 13 days (Oct. 30 - Nov. 11)!!! …..and it all starts in just two weeks!!!!

Rubisco Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Well, this contest will still be insanely competitive. Honestly, it still would have been, even if Hebron and Marcus weren't attending. That's just the cherry on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Culper Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Two years in a row with ZERO participation from out of state? LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchycookie3 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 It actually seems like a FANTASTIC year to be a Texas bubble band at this contest. I only count seven absolute locks for finals, with the last 7 spots being a fight between Leander, Round Rock, Bell, Wakeland, Westlake, Timber Creek, Rouse, Buda Johnson, Bowie, Keller Central, Wylie East, and Bridgeland. It will be nice to see some old faces and some new groups in finals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Antonio is very far away from everything else and I would imagine that, other than getting to spectate the best high school band contest in the world, it’s just not worth the trip for most groups to go there and get ~60th place.

BandNerd07 Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 So I think with Flower Mound, Coppell, Pearland, and Keller not going, bands like James Bowie, Leander, Timber Creek, and Keller Central might benefit from this as they were all runner ups that were the first four out of Finals last year.

LostChoirGuy Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 I'm hoping one of the other Keller schools can show up strong and keep KISD represented in finals here. Both TC and KC were so good last year and really close to making it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandNerd07 Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Yep, and I'm also hoping we'll have two 3A bands in Finals this year. IMO, there's wayyyy too many 4A bands here and actually every 6A band that was in Finals here made State Finals except Waxahachie, which ended up getting 20th place.

northtexasbandfan Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 I’m sure a big reason Flower Mound is not attending is they’re participating in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. Not going to be an inexpensive trip for sure. Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a good thing honestly to have these spots open, it may make the high level competition smaller, but it give multiple bands the opportunity to make finals at this comp when they couldnt even dream of it previously, so it gives many students the experience they normally wouldnt be able to, and we could see with these spots opening more bands reaching this level of excellence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it was so exciting when Avon came down. I'm disappointed none of the other big hitters make the same choice.
