Most stacked, band for band show of 2024, Monday Sept 30.

[MikeKyu]

The Leander Festival of bands is Monday. Band for band, minute for minute, there is not a show or contest that performs at such a high level. 

 

I'll be there. Anyone else? I'll also be posting videos.

I still think the toughest contest other than the BOA SR is TMC. This is a great contest though.

Except it's not a contest, but a celebration of the Bands in the Leander Independent School District for the fun of it.   No judges, just performance.   Fun night!

This isn’t a contest and isn’t scored. It is a good demonstration of why LISD is so competitive. This event is made to be a big deal and treated with great respect from the community and non-band folks.

It is really kinda nuts that within a single event, you've got:

* The reigning UIL 5A 1st, 2nd, and 4th place finishers

* The reigning UIL 6A 1st and 5th place finishers

* 80% of the programs you'll see were finalists in last year's BOA SA

* This year's reigning BOA Austin AAA 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, AAAA 1st and 3rd place finishers

I can't imagine any other event where you get this density of pedigreed programs all on the same night. Plus tickets are like $8. The's some crazy-good value...

I'll be there for sure! Always one of my favorite times to preform. This year though we're getting clinicians and people to give us feedback. So it has the all the comp environment feelings, we just won't get placed or any of that. Makes it ten times better than before!

Every band that performed there tonight and the group performance with all the bands and middle schools was amazing!
