Anderson, Austin (possibly every other year? 2011-2014, 2016)

 

Technically we don't go every other year. We missed 2015 because of weather and 2017 was our first year choosing not to attend since 2011 because we went to st. Louis.

Ahhh, you just answered the question I had on which school you're at! I'll be watching for you guys and any familiar props and/or flags this fall. ;)

Madison had a great show last year. Are you going to TMC this year?

Our directors don't tell us anything until much later in the school year but we may, and I have heard we might be going to two BOAs again next year but that is just rumor so don't take it as true. And thank you by the way.

For The Woodlands, I can confirm BOA Houston and BOA San Antonio. They are still working out the final date for Lone Star Preview, which has recently been the weekend following BOA Houston.

I was actually addressing Dog885 but I'm glad to hear it. We will be watching for Madison as well. Always enjoy y'alls shows.

Anderson actually did attend in 2011 and made finals. I think you're thinking of 2012 when Anderson went to St. Louis, and they still attended San Antonio after that.

Expect this Regional to reach its new 80 band limit. With 6A State starting Monday morning, I anticipate plenty of programs to hang out in San Antonio over the weekend. Danpod recommends Alamo Cafe!!!!!!!

Don’t give away our spot!!!

Are we predicting results before we've seen a single show concept? I love txbands.

Hahaha. Well we’ve seen 75% of each band so the predictions aren’t totally wild guesses. Reputation probably influences judging at least a little bit too.

I was just talking about how 2011 was our earliest BOA and how 2017 was the first year to choose to not go to San Antonio by choice is all.

Wait so Haltom playing “carmina burana” after this past year how much respect for that band has grown in the last year after their amazing show this year I think they will pull it off amazingly but making finals in San Antonio is going to be a huge accomplishment for this group and I can’t wait to see what they’re gonna do!

I love Carmina Burana and I am sure Haltom will do it justice.       For reference,  you can search for Plano Senior High Area Performance 16 1029  on You tube and it will bring up their performance from 2016 all area when they did

this.   PSHS did well, but I am sure Haltom will have a better show design.

 

This was PSHS's first time coming back to all area after they stopped going a number of years ago, so it was just nice seeing them back.

Has it already been a decade since they've appeared in SA finals?
