BOA vs UIL Shows

[TXGABandFan]

I maybe wrong but I believe that UIL and BOA have different show length restrictions as well as other key differences. So I'm just curious if bands that are competing at both BOA SA on Saturday and at UIL on Tuesday alter their shows for the time differences allowed, or make other changes for the different judging formats.

Usually shows are pretty much the exact same thing, but the opening or closing may be different. If you watch Reagan 2004 at state, you will notice that they cut the last two minutes (approx) and had an alternate ending. In 2005 at UIL, they cut out the whole piano intro and woodwind runs and started right when the whole band comes in. Not sure how they ended though.

 

Reagan is one of the better examples that I can think of right now. There are some other bands that do that, but I can't think of them right now.

woodlands cut out the hiding part of their show in the beginning for UIL i think..

i know we alter our show for BOA...i don't know why we even go..but we do. and its fun. so yeah. its tweaked just so we know it is.

In 2004, we couldn't do the last part of our show.

 

Same with LD Bell this year.

so far while i've been at smith, our shows have been apx 7 min 45 sec total for both UIL and BOA, so we haven't had to cut off any part of it

 

i remember last year, creekview added an entire movement to their show for the super regional

I hope Bell doesn't have to edit their show for UIL...I'll cry if I can't see the whole thing at State, haha.

Bands have been "altering" shows for 10+ years now. Ever since the "8 hour/8 minute" rule came into being in 1996, bands have scrambled to find the happy medium. If you can squeeze in that much more excitement, then more power to ya!

i've never even been to a UIL event. but it sounds very strict

Not any more strict on the field as BOA about their timing/boundary rules. Off the field is another matter.....

Yeah, they're chopping Part 5, the best part.

dang, i hope that doesn't mess up their final placement. not to mention, i haven't even seen their show yet...

 

oh, well... tonight will be killer no matter what.

I don't think it will have much of an effect in placement actually. Part 5 doesn't consist of a ton of marching or playing, it's just theatrical (for lack of a better word). The kind of stuff that gets emotion across and GE scores through the roof, but nothing that a UIL judge would really care about. It is REALLY cool though.
