2019 BOA San Antonio

[paleoptera12]

Considering flower mound's show is another art concept and BOA loves general effect, I'm not surprised if they do well this year. Their show is based on glass art. Firing sand to turn into glass artwork. They use boxes with clarinet & oboe soloists again. Although it seems like a repeat of past shows, this will surely be a show for the audience to enjoy. There are rumors that the uniforms are white sequence with a costume change!

We already know that Flomo's show is gonna be about glass art, so yeah

Almost like Flomo is like the Blue Devils of BOA

Dobyns-Bennett is saving up for their upcoming Rose Parade trip I think that’s why they opted out of Grand Nats this year

Are tickets going to be available for purchase at the stadium? Or should I buy them online in advance?

This contest really needs a Semi Finals added

[MadisonBandMan1]

Now it's not only the fact that they have too many bands signed up that's a factor in making that sort of decision, but its also the difficulty in differentiating between these programs because they are just so close to each-other. It'll be nearly impossible to judge this competition.

Definitely. I even get confused at contests like Austin (however, I am very far from being a BOA judge). This contest needs to be reformatted to resemble a Grand Nats of the South, so to speak.

May want to edit some predictions. Westwood made 2nd place in the AAAA class in the houston regional prelims.

[A Testing Trumpet]

Here's some completely ridiculous predictions without having even looked at which bands are going. No real order within the groups. 

List for October 6th, 2019

 

Finalist locks (5) "I can't see any of them out of finals"

Flower Mound 

Ronald Reagan

Hebron 

Vandegrift

Claudia Taylor Johnson

 

Finalist likelies  (2)  "Fathomable these groups could miss, but highly doubtful any actually will"

Leander

Vista Ridge

 

Finalist upper bubble (6) "Understandable one or two of these bands miss, but all are more likely to make then not"

The Woodlands

Keller

Westwood

L.D.Bell

Cedar Park

 

Finalist mid bubble{upper} (7) "Decent shot at finals, but could just as easily be left out"

Cedar Ridge

Westlake

Clear Brook

James Bowie 

Pearland

Stephen F. Austin

Lake Travis

 

Finalist mid bubble{lower} (8) "It wouldn't be strange to see these groups in finals, but the competition is stiff"

Hendrickson

Rouse

Timber Creek

Obra D. Tompkins

Round Rock

Seven Lakes 

Oak Ridge

Coppell

Wakeland

 

Finalist lower bubble (5) "they've got a chance, but most signs point to not quite this season" 

James E. Taylor

Prosper

Keller Central 

Waxahaxie 

Brazoswood

[bingogooberman]

Coppell should be moved up a tier

[principalagent]

Also Leander and Vista Ridge are both as definite of locks as CTJ and Hebron and it’s a little bit silly to suggest otherwise.

[alex9809]

Marcus wasn’t even mentioned

I agree. No offense to SFA or Pearland, but I think Coppell's chances are as high or higher. Also Waxahachie isnt competing at San Antonio this year.

[FaultLineBlues]

Haha sorry to join in the dog pile as it's all just opinion, but I would also say that I think Cedar Ridge should be moved up a tier too. They're fairly consistent, made Finals the past two years, and started off this season fairly strong.

Seven Lakes isn’t attending BOA San Antonio. I know; it’s weird, especially on an odd year.

Right?

[LHSax]

Lol, so much hate for the first person bold enough to make a list after the big 3 regionals. Chill y’all. Make your own list.

Hate might be a bit strong of a word? More like reality check.

[A Testing Trumpet]

Hahaha, It's nothing personal. I actually enjoy reading what ya'll think about it.
