Mog Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Ok, I'm sure someone has mentioned this by now, but I'm too lazy to go back through the archives. Any word yet on who is gonna represent Texas next year up in Indianapolis? Some that I've heard confirmed: Bell, Reagan, SFA, + The Woodlands Some that I'm waiting for a word on: Marcus, Richland, and...Westfield perhaps (It has, afterall, been 4 years). BOA will probably announce all this stuff soon enough, but I'm getting bored of waiting. Quote
manuel_pablo Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I was told Reagan, Bell, SFA, The Woodlands, and Marcus. I can't wait to go to grand nats next year. Quote
MartinHorn Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Patience, there is still time for more to enter. Quote
mbui Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 You're correct on L.D. Bell, Ronald Reagan, Stephen F. Austin & The Woodlands. Oh, and by the way.... Not naming names but word on the street is that a certain two-time Grand National Champion band from Georgia will be returning. Grand Nationals is going to be an amazing one. The lineup could be one of or if not the strongest in BOA history. What a way to say goodbye to the RCA Dome. Quote
Mog Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 That's freaking ridiculous. I wanna think it's safe to say that some bands will miss finals for the first time *cough*northernbands*cough* Hopefully we'll have at least five TX bands in finals if things go well. I'm kinda worried, though, 'bout that particular Georgia band winning the entire thing. We shall see I suppose. Quote
bossman Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I can't wait to go next year, to nats too!!! Quote

I can not find it right now, but I remember reading that Indianapolis is within a day's drive of a high percentage of the competitive band programs in the United States. Also, BOA's offices are located in Indianapolis. Quote

Mog Posted March 24, 2007 Author Posted March 24, 2007 Yeah... If Westfield goes I *might* just have to buy a plane ticket. Actually, I'll probably end up going anyway if all the bands mentioned above really are participating. Complete insanity I tell you. Plus, I might as well see the stadium one last time after having two good high school experiences there. Quote
LdTrumpetWailer Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 sounds like it's going to be freakin' awesome but I have pretty good sources to say Marcus is not going. Just an idea. Still I'm going to be goin' for sure. Quote

Indianapolis is well known as a tourism and convention city. A lot of companies and organizations across the country make their headquartersthere. Also, Drum Corps International will be relocating their headquarters to Indy next year and will host the next ten World Championships there. Quote

Texas is also a major business hub, and with the building of the new stadium in Arlington, we'll have the possibility a more viable selection for a World Championship, But of course DCI and BOA will stay in Indianapolis.

gavinrh Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Richland has TENTATIVELY scheduled to go to nats next year. Not sure yet, but about 80 percent positive. Quote
bossman Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 That's very good. Can't wait for u guys to confirm. Quote
