  1. i still don't understand why neither comes down at least once every 4 yrs. it could be their equivalent of a fun out-of-state Nats trip! winning BOA-SA is a huge accomplishment, only maybe slightly edged out by winning Nationals. even just making finals at SA is huge. do they really just spend all that money on designers?? are theirs just that much more expensive?! je ne comprends pas!
  2. you were in color guard?!!! that's so cool!! a lil different in that era tho, for sure. LOL. it's also neat that u went on to win Nats as a director for the same program. a bit delayed, but you still got a championship!!
  3. i just want whichever band wins BOA-SA next season to be one of the ones attending Nats. it's been waaaay too long since that's happened.
  4. Kennesaw Mountain tho... established in 2000, made National Finals in 2002... some others as well. CTJ opened in 2008 and made finals in 2011.
  5. didn't have a horse in the race, but some of these judging inconsistencies are... oof... kinda understand it, considering all the relative newbies to BOA they have to train, but still. and when, oh when, are we gonna get a doubling of the effect panels?? feel like that might help at least a lil w/ the inconsistencies. boa is really behind the other marching arts orgs in that regard. frankly makes me look forward to wgi even more. easier to predict at least. lol.
  6. not quite!! they were 2nd to perform in the top half in 2021. only reason i remember that is bc i recall watching woodlands and thinking, wow, they set the standard really really high! then watching broken arrow and thinking, welp, woodlands just got two-pointed lol. alas, i was correct.
  7. team Texas slays once again!!! hoping for a BA upset in finals, too, but Avon's vis will be hard to top. overall finalists were exactly as expected, even w/o watching any of semis!! LOL
  8. also what's w/ the extra panel of judges??? just now noticing there are too many names. BOA finally doubling their panels for major contests, like every other major marching arts organization?? esp w/ GE being 60%, that shoulda happened a looooong time ago.
  9. so w/ a lil more wiggle room, finalists prob something like: bridgeland, a. fork, prosper, tarpon, avon, ba, carmel, dobyns, cp, leander, mason, and castle??? can't shake the feeling b-burg has a huge surge upward, but it'll be hard. also, homestead thru prosper cluster will be good for the judges to get a direct comparison.
  10. congrats to all 6 tx bands!! 4 in the top 22!!! give it your all tomorrow!! it ain't over til it's over!!! brownsburg out of top 22 is a surprise based on reputation at least, haven't seen em since the beginning of the season tho. penalty?? at the same time, b-burg WAS memorable for me when i attended finals last yr, bc they seemed really outclassed musically by the other finalists, excepting Fishers, who was also a lil iffy musically. both strong visually, however, w/ great color guards. strong designs as well.
  11. yah, unlike wgi and dci scores, which are supposed to be kinda sorta comparable for the seeding processes, boa scores dont have the same consistency. ppl might be concerned for Leander after yesterday. im not concerned at all. one place out of finals at SA?? seems almost like a guarantee for Nats finals on a "tx-lite" yr. music counts for most of the score which usually elevates the tx ones in the bubble. all of cp, Leander, bridgeland, and prosper checked the "nats finals" quality boxes in my head last time i saw em. ofc im not as familiar w/ the out of state bubbles. i know castle is strong. also, guessing top 3 will be ABC again. maaaybe even in that order, not sure. 🎵A-B-C, 1-2-3🎵 well maybe more like acb 123.
  12. well i sure hope the adults in the room give twhs world guard the proper vehicle (staging, choreo, etc.) to get gold at WGI this season, 'cause that full fall season guard absolutely steamrolls over everyone else in the country this yr. best hs color guard ever. like, obviously so. really they've had the talent for gold for at least a couple yrs now, at least in equipment skills.
  13. forgot to mention em, but how exciting for 7L too!! they may need to make a Nats trip.
  14. Lewisville ISD reigns supreme!!! full pointer for flomo in the end. i thought all of 1-5 would be tight. just 2-5 tho, that was a dogfight. Marcus was a pleasant surprise for me in prelims, at least after seeing them at prosper. they were def hangin w/ woodlands again. managed to watch Hebron in prelims. thought their music might give em the edge here. they sounded sooo unbelievably good!!! Pearland is def my biggest disappointment placement wise, but i absolutely get it after watching some of finals. not quiiiite as clean as i had projected.
