What was Bowie penalized for?

Expand  

Bowie got penalized allegedly for having two unauthorized parents on the field during prelims.🙃

Sucks but at least it didn’t take them out of finals, just wish they would’ve been more cautious as BOA is very serious when it comes to parents having field passes and it did take them down 1 place.

Don’t think they even went to finals!

Yes, as a vandy fan I’ve felt this way ever since they moved to a percussionist for all their music arranging in 2022. Though the shows won back to back state championships, they haven’t had musical “heart”. Would love to see their new director try a different brass arranger next year (while keeping Markworth for percussion writing where he is excellent).

To me, it feels like Vandegrift has stuck to the same exact recipe the last 8 years or so. It’s worked and has won them State Championships, Super Regionals championships, and even Grand National champs - but it would be nice to see them branch out and experiment some vs their traditional repertoire.

That was the year Vandys shows stopped resonating as well with me. Knowing this now explains a lot, thank you.

How many bands from super regional go to grand nationals?  

Expand  

Only 2 bands that attended this year’s San Antonio super regional will be attending Grand Nationals. Cedar Park and Leander. 
 

However, there’s 4 other Texas bands that didn’t attend the SA Super that are attending Grand Nats, too:

Argyle, Friendswood, Prosper, Bridgeland

Was 7Lakes finals performance score the only one that dropped (3pts) out of all the finalist ? Didn’t get to see their finals performance. Did they not have a good run ?

There's a few drops but that might be the most sizable one. I thought it was a good run in finals, but the prelims run was nutty.

Wow what a weekend!  Flower Mound's visuals just blew me away, it's definitely my favorite show outside of my own kids' of course. ;)  That was a much deserved Finals victory.

And congrats to all the other Finalists and indeed all the bands that participated.  The level of competition at this tournament is just unbelievable.

I am surprised to see Southlake Carroll got 31st…

Expand  

Shocking. I really liked their show this year, although I’m pretty biased. Same with Cy-Fair at 25th. Literally a fraction of a point makes a difference. Additionally… aren’t 10 of the finalists repeatedly finalists at BOASA?

forgot to mention em, but how exciting for 7L too!! they may need to make a Nats trip.

Expand  

We almost did in 2022, but it was so expensive. We're well off for a band but not rich enough for nats unfortunately, unless we fundraise and get donations like crazy for a while

its probably because we didnt get off the field in time after someone stopped our props from moving. we dont know who but we were trying to move and they wouldnt let us 🤷‍♀️

Expand  

Oh wow, that's really terrible if y'all took a penalty for that!

But I'm not surprised it happened, someone did the same thing to us during Prelims performance as we were headed into the tunnel to exit, it was really weird.  I've moved props/front ensemble equipment for prelims and finals for 2 UIL State tournaments and prelims and finals for 3 BOASA tournaments and this was the only time something like that has ever happened.  I literally had to just push props around the person trying to stop us, to make way for all of the equipment behind me.  There's only one way out and it's crazy to block the exiting band from using ANY of that exit tunnel as they're trying to move equipment off the field in order to make it in time.
