Rocktapus512 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Does anyone have any info reguarding who will be attending? Also how are things going to stack up this year? Quote
longhornsax Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Well if I'm not mistaken, BOA Houston falls on the same day as this contest, so that takes a way the usual favorite Cedar Park, Leander and Vandegrift. I would expect to see the usual Bowie, Akins, Dripping Springs, Round Rock, etc lineup though. Will be interesting to see if anyone can keep up with Bowie with no Cedar Park this year. Maybe Dripping Springs off their state championship? Quote
Rocktapus512 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Posted September 29, 2010 Does anyone know if Clements will be attending again? Their show last year was really well done. They had a great ensemble sound and I would like to see them again. What is Bowie's show this year? Quote
mellopwn1 Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Bowie is doing the Music of Tchaikovsky this year. 1812 overture, etc. An early season video: http://www.statesman.com/sports/highschool...and-896984.html Are they doing BOA this year because I noticed they are missing from both The Woodlands and Arlington regionals...?

Guitarplayer1002 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 i think o' connor will be in the top 5 this year. Quote
GBMELLO Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 O'Connor will surprise some people this year. I know it seems like all talk, but wait til Westlake. We may prove some people wrong, and do pretty well Quote

Guitarplayer1002 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 We got a few surprised up our sleeve this year, you just wait and see! Quote
rpd Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Even though I think you guys should be a little more humble until Westlake, I will agree that this could be a good year for you guys. In my MANY encounters with the O'Connor band, it seems like you guys get better have gotten better each year since the split w/ Brandies. You guys are so much cleaner since being cut from a 300+ band. Is there a roster up yet? Quote
longhornsax Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I don't know, I kind of liked the 300+ O'Connor. Blew my mind the first time I saw a band that big. Good to see them back in finals last year though. No sched up yet that I can see, even though the event's in a little over a week. Anyone gonna be watching? Quote
mellofello11 Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I just simply cannot wait until Westlake. It is by far one of my favorite contests. c: Quote
GBMELLO Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Does anyone know the schedule for Westlake? Quote
jmj Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Schedule Located! http://www.dragonband.com/WestlakePerfSched2010.pdf Quote
Rocktapus512 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 Here is my top ten in no particular order: Bowie Dripping Springs Connally Round Rock Akins Georgetown Vista Ridge O'Connor Hays Anderson I'll be back with a "game day" prediction. So don't touch that dial Quote

So don't touch that dial I believe you missed Pflugerville, straight off their 4th place BOA Arlington finish. Don't see them missing finals here. Replace Anderson with them and I'd say that's a solid list. Interesting to see who gets that 10th spot, since I'm not sure if it will be Hays. Also interested in seeing how these results compare to Cap City. We'll see how good Round Rock really is. Looking forward to it! Quote

Yeah I put this post up then went and read about Pflugerville making a great showing at BOA Arlington. Replacing them with Anderson is spot on. Edited October 5, 2010 by Rocktapus512 Quote

Great job Round Rock!! Quote

Bandlover Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Great Contest!, Round Rock is in the zone this year! Seeing Round Rock, Bowie and Dripping Springs playing on the same field was great! anyone of those bands could take first in any contest. Quote
whitewing09 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 The scores at this contest surprised me! I haven't seen Roundrock beat Bowie ever, they must be on their game! Good for them. I never saw Anderson in Finals let alone beating Akins, maybe they made it last year, I don't remember, but congrats to them. I was very surprised at the low VR placing. Quote
