There WAS a difference at the LaJoya Regional last year. They used UIL Classifiactions and the finalists were not really the top 10 scores like a normal regional. I don't recall for sure, but there was a certain number of finalists from each classifiaction....thus not a true top 10 competition (there may have been 12 or 14 bands). It was such long time ago. Even though it was great to get the BOA experience in the RGV, it was a little too "feel good" for my preference.

It is unfortunate that the LaJoya and Houston Regionals are on the same day. It would be cool to have more "non-valley" bands go down to LaJoya. Although, its not my favorite stadium for a BOA Regional it was a well run show last year. Does anyone know if the LaJoya Regional is going to be a a "real" BOA competition this year or is it still "sanctioned" with different classifiactions and rules? That was my only real complaint from last year.

IMHO....nothing beats writing by hand
