the terminator Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 so Marcus is thursday night and the rest of the texas schools are friday morning. that's interesting Quote
rpd Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Figures...All the Texas bands go on during my ONE class on Friday. Block three on Thursday looks pretty amazing. 7:15-8:00 Looks like a little taste of what finals will be like. Quote
JustAddWat3r Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Does Michigan perform exhibition every year? Quote

BassoonPadwan Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 This is going to be epic. Can't wait. Quote

tigercat11 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 anyone want to work for me so i can go? lol.... i wish Quote
JBone Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Wait... two Avon's? Which one is the one that generally makes finals/is a contender for the top spot? Also, first block Friday looks like fun! Is that random(or semi random)? That's pretty awesome if it's random. Quote

anonymous11 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 so i know that this is tx bands.com... but.. are there going to be predictions for gnats? if so, when do they start? Quote
takigan Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 We've almost always had Grand Nationals on the predictions lineup each year. For Saturday contests, we usually put up contest predictions in the early/middle part of the week of the contest. Since the GN festival starts next Wednesday, expect predictions up sometime later this week. Quote
longhorn2190 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 lol I like how almost all of the Texas bands are in the same block. Quote
mbui Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 longhorn2190 said: lol I like how almost all of the Texas bands are in the same block. That's how it's scheduled. The Grand Nationals Prelims schedule is also based on geographical location. If there's mulitiple Texas bands attending, one or two either perform in the last block of Thursday Prelims and the rest in the first block on Friday Prelims. That's why you see mostly southern bands in the first and second block on Friday. Quote

anonymous11 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 so since we are getting closer to the competition (a week tomorrow) are there any predictions?? Quote
dmbalash Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 WOODLANDSBANDLOVER said: how do they decide who performs thursday and who goes friday? From the BOA Rulebook: Quote The competition format is determined by the President of Bands of America in consultation with the Advisory Committee. Enrollment shall be determined on a first come, first served basis by POSTMARK. There is no limit on enrollment by class. The competition will be comprised of two preliminary contests Quote
jewels Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I love how all but 1 Texas band performs on Friday morning!!! Quote

takigan Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Predictions are up! http://www.txbands.com/predict/ Quote
Visualstrm Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 takigan said: Predictions are up! http://www.txbands.com/predict/ Is American Fork going to be added to the list of bands on the predictions list? Quote
takigan Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I don't think that'll be possible. The contest starts the day after tomorrow and over 100 people have already submitted predictions for the event. If we added American Fork, we'd have to purge the current Grand Nationals list and everyone would have to resubmit predictions (that's the only way to be fair to the ones that didn't get a chance to vote for American Fork). That wouldn't be a problem if this were 2 or 3 days ago, but since so many people have already submitted and it's so close to contest, a lot of people would be excluded from the game simply because they didn't get back on the site in time to realize that their old submission was deleted because of a new band in the mix. If 1 or more of those of people were currently ranked in the top 10 in points, we'd probably be getting a couple angry e-mails from those people if we decided to do that : / . This why we generally wait until very close to the event to set up predictions for it. Quote
whitewing09 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 How many bands advance from prelims to semis? Quote
ftwdrummer Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) whitewing09 said: How many bands advance from prelims to semis? Somewhere between 30 and 42...and closer to 30. Semis consists of: -The top 11 scores from each day. -The next eight highest scores -If any of the four classes do not have four bands already in semifinals, the next-highest ranking bands from each of those classes will be added to semifinals so that class championships may be awarded after semifinals. If I were to hazard a guess, I think there'll be 33 finalists...and all three of the extras will be class A. Edited November 12, 2009 by ftwdrummer Quote
takigan Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Who do you see from Class A making the cut without help from the "4 band" rule? Quote
