bingogooberman Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Also forney is a nice addition. I think they’ll likely be 2A? If so, they’re probably winning the class title Quote
LeanderMomma Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 I just heard Marcus dropped out of this one. WHY?!! Quote

This contest is in their backyard in a stadium they have played in many times for football games. I don't get it. Is it the new band director? :/ Quote

Just sad for them not to be performing in their own BOA. Quote
NTXBandFan Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 The SAT is that day too, so that could play into it, but I doubt it. It's hard to know with new leadership LeanderMomma 1 Quote
PSHSMom Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Does anyone know the entry fee is of going to a BOA event versus a local one, like the TOC in Carrollton (Tournament of Champions)? Maybe they might go to another one if it's cheaper, but not attend finals because of homecoming. That way they can still perform their show in the morning and let their kids go to homecoming in the evening? I know the local ones are normally about $400 a band, but I have no ideahow much the BOA events cost. Quote

I know the local ones are normally about $400 a band, but I have no idea how much the BOA events cost. BOA uses two tiers of pricing for Regionals. Early Season Regionals are everything before October and cost $700. Regular Season/Super Regionals cost $875. PSHSMom 1 Quote

No clue if they did it or not, but we were far from finals anyways. Quote

New band director of Marcus is from North Mesquite. They've had good bands, but I haven't ever seen North Mesquite at a BOA event. Not sure if that might be a contributing factor but at the very least it seems evident that BOA is not real important to the new director. Quote

Majellan Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Agree with all below, but I think Hebron will be the clear winner. I love their shows, however, even with a top 10 grand national finish flo mo never quite hit their stride last year. They could easily bounce back. This contest is deep this year even without Marcus, Glad Cedar Park and Union are coming. Will be an exciting one to watch!

LostChoirGuy Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 I think flower mound just attempted too much in their show last year. I also think Hebron will win, but I think FloMo will be back to 2016 quality again. Quote
LeanderMomma Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 I had planned to go to this one again this year but I will be helping my middle daughter move to California that week/weekend. I guess I will be watching Flo that day! Quote
Danpod Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Should be a fantastic event! Dallas area programs are very familiar with this stadium so you'll see some great performances. Always good to see out-of-State programs show up and we are so lucky to have Union come down and hang out with us for the day!! Quote
herbaflerb Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 1. Hebron 2. Flower Mound 3. Cedar Park 4. Keller That's all I can really guess. I don't know a whole lot about the other participants. Quote
