BlackJesus Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 I think I was searching for videos of my high school band freshmen year (2013), but had no luck so I looked for anything on Google, and found this place. My entire high school career I spent maybe 100s of hours on this site. I would look into what schools were going to my competitions, watch their shows to get an idea how we stood against them, even find out what schools were in my Area when it was realigned BEFORE the entire list was posted anywhere. I was the biggest marching band nerd lol Quote
Xenon Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 I was unofficially doing reviews and posting them on the BOA Forums wayyyy back in the day, and then I heard that two kids from Cedar Park made this website. LeanderMomma 1 Quote

Idk why, but this totally reminded me of that hilarious “This Is Cedar Park” YouTube video those students made. Xenon 1 Quote

Danpod Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 I used to do tons of reviews/rants on the BOA Forums during my High School days. I heard about this place a little over 10 years ago and immediately tried to get the high score in Tetris (Fact: We once had an Arcade section on this website with Tetris, Brick Breaker, etc...). I was asked to be an Admin on here to help keep trash talkers in line. Those people were sent to The Sacrificing Pit and were never heard from again. Weird, right? Xenon and LeanderMomma 2 Quote
FEDude Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 Found this place in 2013. Told myself I'd never join. Well I don't have a serious job right now and I'm taking a break from school so I have nothing else to take my time. I went to Taft (technically Commarts) and played front ensemble 2013-2016. I do love Taft's band, but I do my best not to be biased toward them. Quote

BanderThanYou Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 I officially made an account today, but I've been 'lurking' on txbands for about a year, starting around San Antonio Super Regionals last year. I always loved how everyone from current band kids, graduates, and parents came together and talked about everything and anything relating to band here. I'm excited to finally have an account and join in. CTJBandPops and LeanderMomma 2 Quote
FerrisHalliwell Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Well... last year I was looking for ANY information about Liberty-Eylau's performances and videos and it lead me here. I ended up finding very little, but now I at least have a place to talk about it haha LeanderMomma 1 Quote
FloMoParent Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I don't know if I posted, but I found this site after a fellow band parent showed me the TXBands live blog. I wanted more info and found the forums. That had to be around 2011-12 ish Quote
WoodlandsMom4ever Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Found this site in our first year experiencing TX bands- 2016, and lurked through the last two years- and decided to finally jump in and make an account earlier this year after traveling with the band to Indy last year. I'm still trying to learn the in's and out's of scoring. It's my 6th year of having a child in marching band... 3 years in OK and now this is our 3rd year in TX, with another 4 years to go. Maybe by the time our youngest is a senior I'll feel like I can make comments more educated than- that was amazing! Quote
principalagent Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 I've been on here about 10 or so years at this point. Also would like to bring the arcade back STAT. Quote

You are very fortunate because 1) you are associated with a Texas band, and 2) you found absolutely the BEST band forum in the world and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! Quote

I'm so grateful that I found this forum. I must say, I never understood marching band even though my dad was a drum major, and a percussionist. I'm really grateful for how kind everyone has been.

Mash Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Around 5 years ago or so, a band friend pointed me to the site. LeanderMomma 1 Quote

I found TxBands while looking for Area D 2014 results, at first I was frustrated because all of these links Google gave me weren't the official results and that it just gave me a forum. But then I decided to go back after a couple days to that forum and check it out, I was immediately hooked. I found it written on the wall in blue crown at texas roadhouse Quote
