This. I get Tarpon Springs not coming, their GN trips are just as expensive and just as far as any Texas band taking the trip to Indy, but I feel like Avon and Carmel should be coming down to this Super every year San Antonio and their states don't land on the same weekend. Apparently Broken Arrow refuses to come down, but the rest of these big names would do well so I don't see the reason to hold out. I also see Bentonville doing very well here and I hope they consider either next year or the year after if they decide to attend GN next year.

Just want to warn everyone that Box5 has eyes on the larger band forums. They sent copyright strikes out to those uploading and sharing their google drive accounts this past week and even linked some drive accounts to lock/ban from streaming on Box5 completely. Careful out there

BOA scores are more heavily weighed towards General Effect, specifically the Music portion of GE. The visual portion of GE doesn't mean they are looking specifically for more movement, you can tell with how well our Texas bands do out of state. Now are there judges that are generous towards more movement based drill, sure, but overall I think the best example of an out of state powerhouse that is close to traditional would be Carmel. We can also look at Grand Nationals last year how Hebron overall placed 3rd. While people might believe BOA overlooks cleanliness, it was their visual scores that held them back. Judges had them mostly in 5th as well as 4th which had nothing to do with movement, but just straight forwardly they weren't visually clean (it's very noticeable on high cams). Well here's the breakdown for BOA scoring; Category Performance * + Effect = Points Music Ensemble Performance (20) + Music Effect (40) = 60.00 Individual Performance (20) Visual Ensemble Performance (20) + Visual Effect (20) = 40.00 Individual Performance (20) Subtotal = 100.00 Field & Timing = - 0.00 Total = 100.00
