2006 BOA San Antonio Day 1

[n3rdu5]

I am utterly in shock at finals. Not in a bad way. Just totally against what I predicted. Which is actually really cool because I love it when that happens sometimes, ya know?

 

But a HUGE congrats to everyone!! Remember, we are all winners in life

[Skippy]

Bell had the 2nd highest BOA Regional score of all time. The highest was Winston Churchill at Waco in 1997 with a 96.00.

 

Man, Congratulations LD Bell.

So are all these bands are in San Antonio for 5 days (Super Regional and State).....for marching band?

[Skippy]

No, LD Bell is going home and going to school on Monday.

[Serardian]

The Woodlands, Cedar Park, Richland, Haltom, and Clear Brook are also coming back home. I'd venture to guess most of them are.

[fourmalleteer]

So they head back home, then go back to SA for State?

[Serardian]

Yep.

 

At least gas prices have fallen recently!

[itspjw]

And then, some of them will head for Indy! What a crazy week for marching band!

[chickora]

Which I am glad...

glad that we don't have to have that many contests.

 

Although, I wouldn't mind doing it my seniour year..but every year??

I'd like to at least pass my classes..

Ok, someone please answer this question for me: Is Ronald Reagan going to Grand Nats? I just went to the BOA site and looked under the "enrolled bands" link, only to find Ronald Reagan NOWHERE! Am I just missing something? At first I thought I just missed it, but I honestly can't find it on their performance schedule for the day...

Ronald Reagan is NOT going to Grand Nationals this year.

[rsb3]

Is this because it's a state year for them? (I'm thinking you're probably going to answer yes lol)

[Lustra.exe]

yes.

 

 

i would expect that is why their show is the way it is.

nope

unfortunately enough,

bowie didn't make it

 

i'm a bowie band member

and i'm pretty sure we didn't make it :|

 

bleh

i thought our show was actually quite good

one of the better ones we've had

the feeling seemed pretty mutual amongst band members

and directors as well

 

...it feels strange to be home so early O_o

 

personally, i think we deserved to make it, but i'm not going to complain because those're some really good bands in finals.

 

you guys did great man. i loved the show. i hope you get better luck next time.

[Aegis Fang]

Marcus = funniest show ever.

 

And to anyone in Cedar Park, you're now my favorite. That was the most amazing High School brassline I've ever heard in my entire life. Thank you for making my 21 dollar ticket worth it =)

[Trumpeter07]

Thank you Aegis Fang. You have no idea what that means to our line.

[Xenon]

OK, here's some extra stuff that I have been able to find out:

[The Richland Trumpet]

Let's hope those Ensemble scores don't translate so directly to the state competition, seeing as how there is no individual scores.

 

And to save someone a post, this is because there are no field judges.
