bariphonium Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Does anybody else get REALLY tired of the "They're all winners in life" stuff? Maybe it's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actualgirltrombone Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Having never been to a BOA competition, I have not a clue what that phrase even concerns. Care to enlighten me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Ngo Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 They say that I think before awards... and yea, it's annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbui Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Having never been to a BOA competition, I have not a clue what that phrase even concerns. Care to enlighten me? It is announced because placements/scores aren't everything in the activity. No matter what placement you got....you are all winners in life. Â It's a phrase that BOA has used for many many years. It's usually said right before you break ranks to acknowledge fellow band members after the Finals awards ceremeony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchellbc Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 its always fun to watch the other bands reactions when they find out they did/didnt make finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 its always fun to watch the other bands reactions when they find out they did/didnt make finals I'd feel sorry for the bands that didn't make it... in fact... I don't think I've ever been to a prelims announcement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bariphonium Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 It's weird, in perspective, if you watch the really good bands at the prelims awards ceremony. A really good band, say, Bell, would react indifferently to a division I award, because they are so used to it, while a smaller, lesser known band who gets the same award is eccstatic (sp?). It just reminds you how different people are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**gracie** Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Does anybody else get REALLY tired of the "They're all winners in life" stuff? Maybe it's just me. It kind of annoys me. Because *I* of course know that *I* am a winner in life. That goes without saying jkjkjkjk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinwd Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 they most likely say it because bands that dont make it far or dont win may/will try just as hard as other bands and deserve the same respect and support for there efforts...just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGiggles Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 BOA doesn't want hurt feelings, and want people to keep coming back to their contests. They want to appease to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LineOCar Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 hmm ok ...i did caps BOA.....here it is..JOINING US .....PLEASE WELCOME THE...HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND! Â geez....are yall happy now...esp....Dynasty over there! lol w/e When I first read his comment, I thought he meant your post. You only have 3 letters in cap, which are BOA. And the rest are dots and lower case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly11 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I am so freakin excited for BOA, I already placed my order for tickets to BOA San Antonio, sooooooooo awesome. I might go to Houston but I gotta see how my classes are going, I just remember last year being called AAA champs in prelims and I wonder what we looked like when they announced it. If they do well this year I just want to see the looks on their faces, I can't wait to see BOA from a spectators point of view and not from a competitors point of view. I love marching season....yesssss. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Yall totally deserved being AAA champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artishard Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 i love BOA so much more than UIL. i mean, UIL is kinda boring, you get announced from the stands, and at BOA, breaking ranks is so exciting. i LOVE it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Suh-nare Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I would be hard pressed to find anybody in my school-no-DISTRICT who liks UIL. Yuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I probably shouldn't even start into my whole thing about BOA and GE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockercon Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 so i guess you like UIL, and hate BOA, i want to hear this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 so i guess you like UIL, and hate BOA, i want to hear this I don't really hate BOA, I just disagree with the judging system in various ways. Mostly the "What" portion of GE. Â I don't believe that a HS Band should be judged on aspects of the show that the students do not have any control over such as Show Concept. Â You can see most of my reasoning if you search for my name in the BOA forum archives. Â I do agree with artishard, though, in that I think that UIL should do a Full Retreat at the end of Area and State competitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 But if they don't judge the "what," than what's to stop bands playing far easier shows well, from beating out other bands that have way harder shows, but not performed quite as well.
