2023 BOA Prosper (Oct. 14)
DaRen replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I’m a Hendrickson fan after seeing their performance last year with the train. This year started off kind of “eh” for me when I saw them in Austin. This was more like the energetic performance that I LOVE about Hendrickson and exactly what sets them apart. Was SO glad to see they were leaning back into the energy and seemed to have found their groove since Austin. Pleasantly surprised -

No surprises for finales. Happy to see Permian on there, they really brought it this afternoon! -

Update: Hendrickson was much better than when I saw them in Austin, so they are at the top for me too. -

I think there is one band left but so far, I’ve liked Mustang and Loveland but neither were as strong as I thought they would be. This year seems off with marching; even watching Vandegrift in Austin last week (historically always clean sweep), they slightly missed the mark. -

They were great, not sure I would put them above some of the other 5As that did well tonight (I think all the usual 6A suspects will make it for sure). -

How are panels decided? And how do you know which bands are in which panels? -

I feel like Vista is solidly in the finals. I think Westlake has a decent shot (similar to Rouse, Hendrickson, maybe Leander). I think the top 10-11 are pretty predictable. -

This is same as my list except I have Westlake and Hendrickson flipped from your list. -

Only a few surprises in the finalists….was very surprised to see Leander take 3rd in AAA. -

Mine is similar, I have Rouse and Hendrickson flipped and round rock and Bowie flipped. -
2022 BOA Austin (Sept. 24)
DaRen replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Agree….overall good but potential to really be great. Music seems off at times and the show felt a little slow, but that could also be because they followed a very amped up performance. Just needs some refinement -

WOW Hendrickson! Stepped it up from last year - that was a high energy show. I’m exhausted just watching it. -

How did Hendrickson do? They’ve been top of my list for a while - VERY fast paced/high energy band!
