2022 BOA Katy (Oct. 1)

Brazoswood, Thompkins, Clearbrook are next 3 out. Happy to see Brazoswood have a better showing that their last years 20th place finish. -

I think the bottom half of this list could easily be exchanged for a hand full of other groups. I’m very interested to see how things shake out. The Houston area has fewer top tier groups (Woodlands is really the only one consistently), but has so many very good programs that are in the bubble for a contest like this. -

Wylie East can play! I really loved this show, and Im looking forward to seeing how it will place. -

So happy to see the Woodlands and Pearland doing so well after big staff shakeups. And Is it just me, or is everyone performing much better tonight at finals? Im so impressed with the level of polish at this early point of the season these bands are bringing. -

Klein Oak has really been on the rise, but I was surprised to see the color guard in t-shirts. Wondering if that has an effect on the score? -

WOODLANDS! dang! Ive seen this show several times, and it gets so much better each time. The guard was on fire- those rifle tosses!!!! The front ensemble was killing it, and the band sounded and looked great with so much energy!! -

UIL Area Judging

Completely nuts. I looked some of the other area sheets, and some areas looked to have more consistent judging. -
UIL Area E 6A 2021

Yes I did, and I was sure they were the strongest of those I saw. Their score placements are shocking and make no sense. -
UIL Area E 6A 2021
vacon3` replied to zoomer's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I saw most of finals, and I have to say those are some wacky scores. Not much agreement on any band in any category. All the bands were great, but Im surprised by the results. -
UIL Area E 6A 2021
vacon3` replied to zoomer's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Looks like it will be 4 bands this year. I think it will be a close competition for 3rd and 4th spots. SFA likely 3, with Clear Brook, Clear Falls, or Bwood in 4th. I know Brazoswood lost an entire week of rehearsals due to the hurricane school closures. -
2021 BOA DFW (Oct. 9)
vacon3` replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Wow Flower Mound! This show is so much fun, and dang these guys can play. Always such creative fresh ideas. Ive been hearing about it all season, and finally glad to see it! -

UIL Area E 6A 2021
vacon3` replied to zoomer's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Looks like we can only have 1 school make a 2. Not a lot of breathing room for 5, but based on historical scores its definitely possible. That spreadsheet on the region mega thread page has good data. -

Anyone have a guess how many bands will advance? According to my calculations, there are 26 6A bands, with 2 bands that might get a 2. -
2021 BOA Conroe (Sept. 25)

Cypress Woods and Klein Oaks are such big surprises this year. Both had beautiful shows and great performances. Happy to see some new faces at the top. -

I saw a post mentioning that Pearland's director had left. Curious what happened there. If true, it would be surprising given the trajectory the program has been on these past several years. Best of luck to them. -

2019 BOA Grand National Championships

I think Carmel had a pretty rough run. And I saw a poor marcher lose their shoe. Still a very good performance, but was expecting more from them. Im used to how strong the Texas bands play.- 1,093 replies
