jcbg Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Is Avon really coming to BOA San Antonio in 2017? Has this been confirmed by Avon? Quote
principalagent Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 It's pretty much understood to be fact. I fully expect them on the list in a couple months. Quote

Xenon Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Yes, assuming no drastic unexpected circumstances, Avon (Indiana) will be coming down to Grand Nationals South. Parkwoodmom and LKendrick 2 Quote
beowulf Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Rumor has it Tarpon Springs is also coming. Yippie Ki Yay Quote
northtexasbandfan Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 There's a thread on TXBands about Avon coming to San Antonio, and someone posted there is a rumor that Tarpon Springs is coming, too. Would love to know if that is true. That would take SA about three steps past insane. Quote
principalagent Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 It's also reasonable that Blue Springs or Owasso could make an appearance too. Seems like we might see the smallest amount of Texas bands make BOA San Antonio finals in a long time. Quote
BandG33k73 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 If you have those competitors there I wouldn't be surprised to see broken arrow come down too. That would be a good way to see how they compare to team Texas. But that would make the competition more insane than it already is Quote

AvonDad Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Looking forward to that first weekend in November. Quote

I was looking around for active marching band forums (cause I have nothing better to do) and I found this. Being a student from Carmel, I have talked to Avon about this, and I can confirm Avon is going to San Antonio. takigan and Parkwoodmom 2 Quote
jacksonsandre Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Im going to Atlanta next year and I am not looking forward to possibly competing against Tarpon two weeks in a row, (that is if they end up coming). Quote
Xenon Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Here is Avon's official announcement about going to BOA SA. Quote

I've only seen them live at the Grand Nationals in 2013 and 2015. I wish more of the other non-Texas GN finalists would come to San Antonio, especially Broken Arrow, Mason, and Tarpon Springs. I have never had the privilege to see either Broken Arrow or Tarpon in person. Quote

I have never had the privilege to see either Broken Arrow or Tarpon in person. Totally agreed. I wish the Oklahoma groups and California groups would come this way more often/at all. Thankfully, it seems like I may end up making GN a yearly trip, which should cover my bases. Quote
Hard Core Band Fan Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I looked a little closer at the Avon schedule and it's going to be a tough one! 9/16 - BOA Canton (650 Miles round trip)9/23 - Avon Invitational (0 miles round trip)9/30 - Tiger Invitational, Fishers, IN (90 miles round trip)10/7 - BOA Dayton (280 miles round trip)10/14 - ISSMA Regionals, Greenwood, IN (50 miles round trip)10/20-10/21 - BOA Indianapolis (30 miles round trip)11/3-11/4 - BOA San Antonio (~2500 miles driven or ~9 hours of flight time)11/9-11/11 - Grand Nationals (30 miles round trip) Several competitions are close by, but there is one competition after another from 9/16 through 11/11 with only one weekend off at the end of October, as far as I can tell. Add to this, all of the football games and rehearsals and this is really one impressive and difficult undertaking. Quote
LKendrick Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 I'm getting the opportunity to see Avon in San Antonio AND they're building a show around Maslanka 4??? Color me very excited. Xenon and knoxisawesome348 2 Quote

Hard Core Band Fan Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Oh, and she was also a shadow composer with David on the 4th Symphony as well... Quote
