How did props and front ensemble get into the stadium? Were they allowed to go in through the loading ramp or did they have to go in the side door and do the switchback concrete tunnel of death?

Will not reschedule to Tuesday because Pennington Field is already booked that day. It's Saturday or Monday.

If they choose to go the rain-out date, I don't think they can keep pushing back until they get a dry date.

Timber Creek has a stomach bug going thru the band…about 35 kids missing homecoming game tonight 😭

All 14 competing bands are doing finals! Will be a BOA style top half - bottom half random draw.

It's random. Look at the DFW regional for proof that they don't hold the perennial top six for the afternoon slots.

Why is there all this warm-up sound coming through the Box5 feed? Don't they all warm-up in the convention center?

Area B does it different for whatever reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Performance draw is NOT top half/bottom half. It is a 100% redraw at the finalist meeting.

Crowley is 6A by UIL standards but were left off this schedule. On TMF, they were entered in as a 5A.

Obviously this is with the expectation that region 31 all gets division 1s.

Box5 more like Box1 amirite

^ this. No chance BOA takes a risk on making Grander Nats look better than Grand Nats. However, nothing says this doesn't have to be an unwritten thing. Perhaps a flag with a trumpet on it and the words "Come and Blast it" written underneath...🤣

Fossil Ridge was one out followed by HP, Haltom, and Pearce.

100% false.

From the Area secretary: All Area contests must be completed by MIDNIGHT. If prelims gets pushed back and the finals can't be completed before that, they will take prelims results and call them finals results. With the schedule as is, they cannot push back more than an hour or else they can't fit in all 12 finalist bands.

Bill Centera is out, Robert Selaiden is in.

I saw them at UIL. They're in my top 6 advancing to state.
