Thank you for the information. I had heard of that contest but didn’t realize it was hosted by Roosevelt. Do you know if CTJ, Churchill, Reagan or Madison have ever attended? I know there are a lot of Saturday games this year for NEISD. I hope they find a weekend for their contest.

CTJ attended in 2017 with their "Forrest through the Trees" show - it is out on YouTube. The 2019 Rough Rider is scheduled for October 5th 2019 and both Madison and MacArthur are on the schedule.

 

I believe that CTJ may have also attended in their early years in 2008-2010 to get the group experience - 

 

the Rough Rider has been around for 35 years - since 1983 - so I am sure that Reagan has attended in their early 80's years - it is close and inexpensive to attend and give the kids a learning experience.  

 

CTJ also attended the TMC in Austin in 2012 in Austin when it was a new competition. (swept) - but I do not believe they have returned since

2018 - 7 TX Competitions

2017 - 6 TX Competitions

2016/15 - 5 TX Competitions

2014/13 - 4 TX Competitions

2012 - 3 TX Competitions

Before then it jumped between 3 or 4 competitions depending on the year for at least a decade.

Despite 7 of them this past season, it's not as oversaturated as I originally thought, as 5 of them were all on or before the first weekend of October, opening up the next 4 weekends. McAllen and Midland also help those lesser known bands get better, and they along with Austin and early in the season.

I feel like Waco is really the BOA contest that oversaturated Texas. Probably the best positioned and best one, but local contests could never compete with it's caliber.

great points -

if we look at some of the programs that have been added in the past decade, - CTJ, Timber Creek, Vista Ridge, Weiss, Rouse, to name but a few - the number of players continues to grow - the playground needs to get bigger

Wait— how did you know Madison is attending rough rider in 2019? The lists aren’t on the website. The directors haven’t told us anything and probably won’t give any hints until we get closer to band banquet which is May 17th for us.

Haha. “Oh I just can’t wait to be king”. I’ve made that comment before.

 

I want you to “be prepared” for our band this year. Just wait for the sound. That is what I’m most excited for so far, among other things that will be revealed after band banquet most likely. I swear if you know what I am talking about I will need to meet you in person.

[MadisonBandMan1]

Oh with out a doubt I will. Thanks for the motivation. Still wondering where you got that info though. Please pm me if you have to.

That's actually from Mel Brooks History of the World, not Monty Python

you are correct - my bad -

Interesting development in the fact that Vista Ridge no longer has BOA San Antonio on their calendar, instead having a "Bi-Week" on that Friday. Something else that is of interest is the fact that have added in 5A area and state onto their calendar. This would be a very out of the norm drop considering . Even my friends at VR don't know exactly what this means. Drop to 5A? Possible saving of money for a Nats trip? Only time will tell.

[MadisonBandMan1]

Maybe Samuel Culper might know....

San Antonio is absolutely still on the calendar and there is no drop to 5A. It's not a realignment year.

Man am I good. We posted at the same exact time lol.

[LostChoirGuy]

I wonder if the calendar has had some sort of error...?

[MadisonBandMan1]

Again, sheesh.

Maybe the public calendar shows something different. I look at the private calendar.

There are two different callenders? Are the students able to see this, or only board members?

The private calendar in Charms can be seen by anybody with a VR account login. I assume most schools set up like this.

Or better than that.  Dawson has had a rough go of it since the changes in 2013, but it seems like things are looking up for the program!

What do you mean by changes? Director changes? Or???

Yeah, a lot of staff changes over the past 5 years.  That's hard for any program.
