itsstephenyo Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Wow, curious to see Clear Brook down in the lower half of the results. Also, it looks like Marcus cleaned house pretty well. Pretty decent win for Marcus. Congrats to all finalist bands! Quote
Donezo Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Wow again to Colleyville Heritage! Totally unexpected and awesome! I too am surprised by Clear Brook's low showing. Like I said in another thread, I wonder what would have happened here had Reagan attended. I know a lot can change in a week, but it's almost surreal to think that Reagan may have been a borderline finalist at this regional. Quote
MartinHorn Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I wanna know what happened to Martin. I figured since they made finals at Houston they would do the same at Arlington. When does BOA release the full results of prelims? Quote
itsstephenyo Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Yea, imagine if Churchill, Reagan, The Woodlands, and Bowie were at this competition like they were last year. It would've been like a mini-Super Regionals. Quote
JBone Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 That would have been insane. Man there is a huge drop between the top three and the rest. Congrats Marcus. Quote
itsstephenyo Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 A lot of really interesting things at this year's various regionals. Colleyville placing very high here was a bit of a surprise to me. They got third last week at Birdville and beat out Hebron today despite placing behind them last week. Great job, Colleyville. I really wish I could've seen the show live. Berkner made finals after a two or three year BOA hiatus. Frank Troyka must've done some good stuff over there to get them back into shape. Congrats, Berkner on being back in the BOA crowd. On top of all that, Brazoswood not making finals last week, Hebron not making it today. Just like the BCS polls, Texas BOA Regionals has all gone to heck. San Antonio is gonna be a madhouse. Nothing makes sense anymore. It'll be interesting to see the recaps on Monday, to say the least. Quote
slowdownrotation08 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 churchill and reagan weren't at arlington last year Quote

slowdownrotation08 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Yeah they were there in 05, crazy contest. Quote
bumbythebeach Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 yeah...i was VERY surprised at colleyville getting 6th honestly, i thought they were REALLY dirty but they played very well lots of crazy things tonight one thing is for sure marcus got what they deserved :] Quote
Warfact Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Tonight was an amazing contest. Of course my favorite show of the night was Marcus with the giant lady bug and their purely amazing sound, but my other favorite of the night had to have been Richland with "iShow". I thought it was done really well. Quote
SerialSleeper90 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 AAAAAAAAAH! I wish I could watch these bands!!! Quote
Aka-Attack Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Kudos to the Marcus band. They were spectacularly amazing! Congratulations also to C-ville Heritage on a great night. All of the bands in finals performed their hearts out. I thank them for putting on such a wonderful show!!! P.S-Princeton's guitar/bass thing was cool. Quote
bluebellbrass07 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Can anyone please tell me about bells show!? I got to hear it over the phone but other than that I really know nothing about it Quote
Aka-Attack Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Also when might a review be put out for my reading enjoyment? Quote

SerialSleeper90 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Will there be a spreadsheet available that covers the scoring for all the bands? Quote

I was the one that did the sheets for BOA Houston last week. I was working a marching competition in Laredo yesterday so I wasn't in Arlington. I will be in San Antonio for the Super Regional and Indianapolis for Grand Nationals. Quote
tigercat11 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 arlington was amazing princton was that the name? anyways they did alot better than i expected. they had a really cool idea. they seem like the kind of band that just needs to be pushed a little more by thier staff an then they would be really good. i still think hebron should have been in finals. thats one of the best ive seen them perfrom. they had the whole crowd going too. i thought they were really good. richland was really good. they've always been good but the past few years they seemed like they were in kind of a slump not a really bad one just not themselves and last night they had it back coppell did really well. they seem like they have cleaned alot of stuff up. and i loved the gaurds outfits. westfield was also another good one. they catch your attention from the very beginning with the lone soloist and field entry. my only problem with this show is that it kept the same mood the whole time. but they played very well l d bell-- wow... they were really good. their gaurd pulled me away from the rest of the show though. they looked like they were stuck in pillowcases. it was wierd. they always have the strangest things in their shows. but they always seem to do a good job with it all. and once again their marching was outstanding. marcus i was in a type of trance the whole time. the flute and oboe soloists sounded amazing. their marching has improved so much from last year. they still play better than anything plus some more. i had the joy of listening to them after retreat they all got in arcs and played the music. it sounded even better than when they were marching. it gave me goose bumps. during the show i felt so sorry for the lady bug tho. he was being chased everywhere. i loved everything about the arlington performences. they were all so good!

MaverickBand15 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I enjoyed performing for the 1st time at BOA. I think we placed 15th, but it was still fun. Finals was great to watch. I think my favorite show was "iShow". I honestly didn't like Marcus's show, but they sure were good! Congrats to all the Finalist Bands! Quote
Danpod Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 As soon as my face stops burning, I'll put up a podcast detailing all the Arlington events. Quote
GuitarJoe Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 i loved newman smiths show. that trumpet thing was awesome. Quote
