2024 BOA Webster (South Houston - Oct. 5)

[fsc]

Dont sleep on Cy-Park, their opening hit is STRONG, their marching is good, but in the end it will all come down to execution.

Would be great for them to make a splash. If they do, folks will stop sleeping on them.

if you think cy ranch has the potential to maybe make finals do you think schools like langham creek could also possibly do it?

That’s what I’ve been asking and no one seems to know. They’ve got a better time slot and from what I’ve heard ranch isn’t doing a rehearsal before just going straight to the contest

Why are so many people ranking Dickinson so low?  Based on prior seasons, I would expect them to rank slightly ahead of Clear Brook.  I’m also curious to see if last week was an anomaly for Dawson.  Again, they typically score much higher.

As for me, I just haven't seen their show. I think they won the percussion caption at Lone Star last year, but could be mis-remembering. Looking forward to seeing their show tomorrow!

It’s kind of hard to tell where to put Dickinson here, especially since they haven’t ever I think done boa. Clear Brook tends to do much better at boa then UIL, and their score/placement at Conroe last weekend goes to back that up. I do think Dickinson could surprise us here, but it’s kinda hard to tell rn.

Id say they have a lower chance than Ranch but could still do it

Ive yet to see what Cy-Ranch has put on the field ever since I saw their last show, but I don’t think it’s out of the question, keep in mind Cypress Ranch and Langham Creek would have to beat bands like Dickinson, JET, JET has got a great show, so anything could happen on Saturday.

I think Klein Cain has a good chance, especially after their showing at BOA Austin.

Enjoy this comp if you are lucky enough to be there live. And don’t miss the Prairie View A&M exhibition either!  If you’ve never seen an HBCU (historically black college and university) band, drop your expectations of anything you’ve ever heard before and just ENJOY!!! 🤩🤩

[Sideswiperr]

Nice job from the first block!

[Tubalord11]

Best of luck to everyone competing here!! I don’t envy the judges at all, so many amazing programs here, picking 12 for finals just seems impossible. Can’t wait to see how things shake up, hope everyone has the best possible performance!!!

Wasn’t able to see angleton, or Klein Cain, but Cypress Ranch and Cypress Park, were solid, huge improvement for both of those programs from last year, visual looking cleaner than last year by quite a bit, love Cy-Ranch’s ballad, very intense first movement I might add, and Cy-Parks opening hit.

[BandKid08]

Any rankings predictions of the current prelim bands that have performed so far?

I saw Angleton and Klein Cain, both had good performances!! I think both bands had good visual and music, and had solid performances in general

Is it just me or is this stadium’s sound very…echoey??? Because during my performance in our last movement our clarinet soloist’s mic sounded so reverberant and echoey??? Ofc it didn’t keep me out of time- we all kept a very steady tempo, but that was kind of confusing… can anyone provide intel about the sound quality in this stadium?
