youcansound Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 ctj did region and area prelims in 2016 but after area prelims they dipped from the road to stare entirely by not showing up to finals directors wanted to give their kids rest before going to the big leagues at Indy From what I have heard out of some people is that Leander went to the airport right after their finals at the state contest which is I guess exactly the scenario ctj wanted to avoid Quote
JeremiahW Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I'd also point out that FloMo has won San Antonio each and every year they've won DFW, so you can go ahead and mark down San Antonio champion as Flower Mound. Aquaflamma85 and FloMoParent 2 Quote

So is it like Bert said: "Winds in the east, mist coming in, / Like somethin' is brewin' and bout to begin. / Can't put me finger on what lies in store, / But I fear what's to happen all happened before." or will this year be different? My gut is saying this year is going to be different, but let's see. Going to be lots of fun watching and speculating. CTJBandPops 1 Quote

Speaking of the crazy schedule, this is what I recall about those crazy 8 days... Friday - drive to SA for BOA prelims, drive back to Leander Saturday - drive back to SA for BOA finals, drive back, arrive well past midnight Monday - somewhat normal school day -send off performance gets rained out :- ( Tuesday - drive to SA for UIL prelims (thankfully LISD pays for hotel in SA) Wednesday - UIL finals - sprint to airport for two charter flights to Indy - arrived past midnight Thursday - practice in Indy, watched some prelims Friday - prelims performance Saturday - semis and finals / red-eye flight back to Austin Sunday - arrived Austin / Leander around 7am WoodlandsMom4ever 1 Quote

Popular Post FEDude Posted October 8, 2019 Popular Post Posted October 8, 2019 It's funny to me that as a freshman, the only thing you want is competitions every weekend. Then, by your senior year, a weekend of nothing is a gift from God. I can only imagine this is true times 50 for band parents. Aquaflamma85, LHSbandDad, WoodlandsMom4ever and 1 other 4 Quote

youcansound Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 what? Previous champions pick their performance time am I correct? I see if that’s true Flower Mound took the 8:15 slot on Friday a bit untraditional but I’m sure the directors have well thought out reason for it Quote
ValleyBandFanatic Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 This contest is such a toss up, that even class champs are hard to predict, let alone FINALISTS Quote

Man, I wish anyone outside a two hour radius could go after noon. I understand the fairness issue, but what a beatdown. WoodlandsMom4ever 1 Quote
