    Although I do like the Dairy Queen BOA commercial that features some of CP's music from last year and clips of last year's finalist. I just really hope that they don't cut off the pre-shows from the actual videos that they produce!

    Love it! I can't wait to watch their final product.

    Those of us who are watching via livecast are missing out on the bands' preshows because BOA feels the need to replace that time with advertisements . I'm especially upset to miss CTJ's preshow.
  4. whitewing09
    Lake Ridge, Vandegrift, and Waxahachie in a row. That's going to be intense!

    I'd be worried about more than just the Woodlands. There is just so much talent at the top of the BOA food chain. Marcus was able to secure 1st in prelims at Duncanville winning multiple captions (you can argue that it's a different format, but historically Marcus does extremely well in both formats). Bell has a lot of material to build on. CTJ was a close second in both of the BOAs they attended (let's see if they kept up their early season drive) Bowie is normally phenomenal. That said, I love Hebron's show. Ugh if there were ever an event that I would want to go to live it would be BOA SA this year! I'll be enjoying the shows via live webcast though and I'm still stoked.

    I think it may have come as a surprise because Connally has either been a 5A or bouncing between 4A and 5A for a while (Can't remember which situation is more accurate). The other bands have been in the 4A spotlight for quite a while.

    Congratulations on taking the area champion spot!
  8. whitewing09
    Wow so unfortunate for Dripping Springs, going from 3rd in prelims to 6th in finals. Just goes to show you how competitive this area is! Connally is an excellent band, none-the-less, and the kids will represent Area D very well!

    No Hays? That's a surprise. Does anyone know prelim placements?
  10. whitewing09
    The 4A and 5A area and state contests usually are, yep.

    I actually really liked their show! I'm not quite sure that I understand the concept, but I love their music. I'm rooting for them to place into finals! I really like the clarinet solo at the beginning! I loved the Reich? (I think it's Variations for Winds Strings and Keyboard) and Wild nights mix. I haven't seen any videos on them. Given their score this Saturday I think there is a chance that they'll score in the top half in BOA SA finals, but I'm very skeptical as to whether they'll be able to beat one of the top 6 bands. I just don't see them breaking into the top tier that includes Bell, Woodlands, Marcus, Bowie, Hebron and CTJ. I guess we'll have to see!

    I should know this, but how many bands are taken from each day for semi-finals?
  13. whitewing09
    Shouldn't we point out that a band can't prove itself "better" just from the fact that it has the means or desire to attend a gnats every year? They're both great bands. Let's leave it at that.

    I watched Keller Central perform on live cast and I thought that they looked rather awesome! I'll back them for finals at BOA SA.
  15. whitewing09
    I really want to see how Cedar Ridge and Vandegrift fare this year. Is it finally time for them to break into BOA SA finals? My Finals Prediction (no particular order): Locks: Woodlands Marcus Bell CTJ Hebron Cedar Park Bowie Bubble: Spring Reagan Cedar Ridge Round Rock Vandegrift Anderson Flower Mound Leander Westlake Keller Central Coppell

    I would like to mention that on the Bell's final's video at this competition you can hear the director saying, "SMILE! They're all clapping for you. Pretty cool!" I thought it was endearing.
  17. whitewing09
    Cedar Park's show is definitely not flashy, but I think their music is still pretty cool. Though, when I watch their show I definitely think of it more as UIL champion status than BOA champ. I definitely think they'll make finals because they execute their show well and it's written good enough to receive props for GE, but I'm not sure if I would put them in the top 5. I just watched Bell's show and it is written very well, but I just feels like it's missing dynamics. I miss the Bell that would blow us away with their volume. I remember pre 2009 their shows were very dynamic, but especially for the past two years it seems like they've toned it down. I don't see them taking gold or silver at BOA SA and I think they'll really have to fight with CTJ and Hebron for bronze. Their show didn't quite leave me feeling satisfied I felt like I wanted more. I think they will have more to add by the end of the season.

    It's been since 2005 since a band other than Marcus or Bell won BOA SA. Crazy huh?
  19. whitewing09
    Is Mesquite Poteet a 4A or 5A?
  20. whitewing09
    Does anyone know when BOA is going to release the Conroe videos? Also why are they so absurdly slow this year in releasing TX videos this year ?
  21. whitewing09
    So things have been awfully quiet about Marcus and Bell (I guess we'll have to wait to hear about them until this weekend). Does anyone have anything to say before?
  22. whitewing09
    Does anyone think that Fredericksburg (2nd at state for 3A last year) has any chance of breaking finals? I know it's a long shot, but I think that would be interesting!
  23. whitewing09
    I don't know if this bold, but I predict CP over taking Vandy. I know that Vandy beat CP at BOA Austin and Vandy is doing incredibly (as it usually does), but just from watching and listening to CP's show, it seems like they have a lot to work with by the time the end of the season rolls around. They're also the type of band that takes crazy difficult shows and cleans the heck out of them. I think there is a pretty good chance that top four bands advancing from Area D will be the LISD bands, who will go on to dominate state. Although Dripping Springs might push one of these bands into the 5th spot, so hopefully there will be enough bands that day to send five to state.
  24. whitewing09
    Good luck to you both considering how stacked your area is. Did Leander and Vista Ridge both come down from 5A? This would lead to a very interesting battle for the top spots!
  25. whitewing09
    I'm really interested in seeing where Cedar Ridge goes from here! I remember that they had quite a great showing early season last year, but kind of climaxed too early to make finals at BOA SA. They actually medalled this year beating out top dogs Hebron and CP scoring above an 80, which is a pretty significant feat at an early contest! Also, CTJ was right on TW tail! If memory serves me correctly, TW blew away the competition last year. AHHH such an exciting season.
