BOA Houston 2007

[Guest Guest_DonnaCassie_*]

What does everyone think about all the bands that performed last Saturday? It was a very intense night... full of great shows.

[Band Of Champions]

Of course there were some great bands at Houston, but not any match the the bands at Arlington.

well thats a weird remark... i do think Churchill Reagan and Bowie can compare and beat most of the bands at Arlington

[Band Of Champions]

Oh I agree there were great bands at Houston, but not nearly as many. And I'm not quite sure about Reagan beating most of the bands at Arlington. I thought their show was quite sloppy when i saw them at Houston.

i think people should remember that bands that went to arlington had a whole extra week to clean/produce their shows...

[Band Of Champions]

Still with that in mind, I think the competition was of a greater magnitude. Especially because of the bands that pulled out of Houston at the last minute that showed up at Arlington.

Agreed.

I'm pretty sure Reagan could still have beaten many of the bands in finals, even with a show thats not at its peak yet.

I guess I'm just not a big fan of their show this year.

To be perfectly honest, it's not as good as previous years in my eyes either, but they are just amazing at what they do.

I have to admit that Reagan disappointed me...

 

Churchill got rained on. Maybe God liked their show so much that even he had to cry...

 

Did that happen in Arlington?

well you really could do us a favor and word it right =D

 

you said none of the bands at BOA Houston could compare to the bands at BOA Arlington and thats just not true

[Band Of Champions]

Sorry, but atleast now you know what I meant.

[whitewing09]

maybe theyll pull off a bell 2005, make a bunch of alteration and do awesome at gnats

[Band Of Champions]

I hope so. I think everyone enjoys when Reagan's good. lol

The reason reagan isn't so great this year is because mark chambers, their head director for all these past years, left to go direct the Crossmen. That was a big blow to them. Plus they lost a really good senior class from last year and are trying to compensate. And what's worse, they're school is overcrowded so the districts making a new HS to take up half of what is Reagan. So they're band will be half of what it is now. This year was supposed to be their last year of greatness before the split, but they are struggling from all of their losses.

[whitewing09]

well best of luck to them

[barisaxy08]

either way, I was impressed with all the bands that were at BOA Arlington. I was surprised not to see Hebron in finals...that was new to me. Owasso marching music from blue shades is pretty tight to me. There was a drum corp that did that this summer and it sounded pretty tight. I wish I could have seen all the shows...especially Marcus'. When i was in retreat, I saw their colorguard outfits and seen the props and I thought that it all looked pretty tight (especially the huge lady bug). It was a fun night.

Dang, that really sucks.
