MRS. IaN KiNSLeR Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 is richland going to grand nats? i like richland a lot, lol.(ie. see my post in 'the most impressive band from area b') Quote
Shiloh Phoenix Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 nope. we did last year. maybe in the future. Quote
MRS. IaN KiNSLeR Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 yeah, i remembered that. i wish marcus would go ahead and go. a lot of my friends(seniors) were really upset because they couldn't go this year. it's almost TOO much on a state year. not to mention going two years in a row would be REALLY hardcore(for a texas band) cus it's a stinkin' massive trip. cough*should be in texas and at the cotton bowl*cough. i still like my first prediction the best(the alien one). cus we all know texas bands are BA enough to save the world.

missriz21 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 It's my personal opinion that NO BAND can ever win Grand Nats and UIL State in the same year. It's impossible becuause the two styles are too different. What works for BOA does not work for UIL and vice versa. ....Hasn't that already been done? Granted it was back in the day (1993 if I'm not mistaken), but if I'm correct Spring won Grand Nats AND UIL State that year. I could've gotten the dates wrong, but if they're correct then it's not totally impossible for a band to win both state and grand nats. Quote
jr520c Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Actually I just checked, and they won state in 1992, Grand Nationals in 1993, and then state again in 1994. darn, Spring owned. Quote

I could've gotten the dates wrong, but if they're correct then it's not totally impossible for a band to win both state and grand nats. No, there was no State competition in 1993. UIL switched to the every-other-year format by the 90s. But Spring did win the year before and the year after they won Grand Nationals. Westfield and Spring went off and on with the State title.

missriz21 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Ahh, yeah...I couldn't remember what years we had won...it all happened so long ago. Meh, whatev. Quote
Skippy Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 The every other year format doesn't make much sense to me. Quote
Skippy Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 It's my personal opinion that NO BAND can ever win Grand Nats and UIL State in the same year. It's impossible becuause the two styles are too different. What works for BOA does not work for UIL and vice versa. That's not really a debatable issue you can have an opinion on. What happens, happens. And yes, what works for BOA does work for UIL. We'll see if LD Bell can pull it off both this year. 2004 UIL State Finals 1. LD Bell - BOA Arlington and St. Louis champion 2. Cedar Park - 4th at BOA San Antonio, 5th at Houston 3. Duncanville - Doesn't do BOA 4. Langham Creek - 8th at BOA Houston 5. Winston Churchill - BOA La Joya Champion, 2nd place at San Antonio, 4th at Houston 6. The Woodlands - 2nd at BOA Houston, 7th at Nationals 7. Haltom - 5th at BOA San Antonio, 3rd at Arlington 8. Ronald Reagan - BOA San Antonio Champion, 2nd at Arlington 9. Bowie - 8th at BOA San Antonio, 3rd at Houston 10. Clements - Hasn't done BOA in a while unfortunatly. Is it a coincidence that the top 10 bands in the UIL circuit are the ones that dominate the BOA regionals? No. Quote
bandnerdbea Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 that'd be pretty sweet if a band won BOA sa, state, and grand nationals... all in the same year. it'd have to be like a world record or something, and they'd probably have to check the band for juicers, lol. that probably won't happen though. i could see reagan doing that... but i could also see a lot of other people doing that as well. Its also possible for the Woodlands HS to do it this year....... they are doing all three and they have a pretty decent show..... But of course I want Spring to win state cuz that's my school but it will be pretty awesome to see how TWHS does at its 3 competitions in the next 2 weeks..... Quote
MRS. IaN KiNSLeR Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 where did they(the woodlands) finish in their area? who else from tejas is going? Quote
itsstephenyo Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I think there are a lot of Texas bands going this year. Off the top of my head LD Bell, Churchill, Cypress Falls, Bowie, Connally, The Woodlands... I think I'm missing some, though. Quote
MRS. IaN KiNSLeR Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 ld bell has a really good chance of doing both then. considering they ARE the defending state champs and pretty much rock the boa scene. Quote
Serardian Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 where did they(the woodlands) finish in their area? 1 - Spring 2 - Brazoswood 3 - The Woodlands 4 - Klein 5 - Clear Brook I really like The Woodlands' shows from the past 3 or 4 years; this one, not so much. But they have a good shot at doing very well. Quote
MRS. IaN KiNSLeR Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 their show last year was really cool. i haven't seen this year's though... i wanted to see it at arlington, but the person i went with couldn't find uta(even though he lives in arlington, the meatball). so, i missed them, but thankfully i got there just in time to see marcus... otherwise i would have been very angry, lol. but i get to see pretty much EVERYBODY this weekend, so that'll be nice Quote
smoke_dawg_08 Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 I think there are a lot of Texas bands going this year. Off the top of my head LD Bell, Churchill, Cypress Falls, Bowie, Connally, The Woodlands... I think I'm missing some, though. Stephen F. Austin is also going Quote
MRS. IaN KiNSLeR Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 yesss. haley loves sfa(the high school). good luck! i know they/you will rep tejas well. Quote
Serardian Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Stephen F. Austin is also going Are you sure? Where did you hear this from? Quote
FastFrwrd Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 SFA? I thought they weren't going... I could go look, but it don't matter none- if they're going, they'll rock it, if not, they're awesome anyway. :-) I love me some SFA. Quote
Mculbert07 Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 I sat with some people from SFA at BOA Arlington, they said that they pulled out of GN. Because: Here's the kicker-instead of spending money on GN, they spent $8,000 on chairs. That doesn't make too much sense to me. But what do I know? Not enough. Quote
