In your opinion...

In your opinion, who is the best band to never win a UIL 5A State Championship or BOA Regional in Texas (sorry...we all know about Nats) within the past five years? Let the discussion begin.

The Woodlands because they have been quite consistent at BOA Regionals (With a few caption awards in Prelims and Finals) and UIL State.

 

I'd definitely put Haltom in a close second.

[Moose]

Yea, I'm gonna go with The Woodlands as well.

I've never been a big fan of Haltom... I dunno why really, I just never have seen them perform and think 'Wow, that was pretty awesome'.

Very well, but who do you think is the best band to never win a regional or UIL State?

[mnkyman]

are u kidding me haltom is crazy cool there show last year with the dance break and all had me on my feet

 

 

i think 1. woodlands and 2. haltom sounds like a good line-up

I'm going to agree with what was said earlier....

The Woodlands

 

Although, they've placed second a couple of times.

2001 BOA Houston: 2nd Place

2004 BOA Hunstville: 2nd Place

 

In my opinion, their drill design has always held them back. The music/visual performance and colorguard were all there. They just needed that extra "umph" to push them over the top.

 

Hopefully their new drill designer for the 2006 season will help them out with that.

i am from the woodlands high school and our new drill designer from what i hear is amazing. he works with blast so our show for the 2006 season is way ahead of sehedule.I think this is our year to prove ourselves.
