Any word on that? Yes - CTJ currently has the Directors Choice Nationals planned for Nov 7th in the dome - they will likely perform 6 times in an 8 day span in the dome will be interesting to see if this happens - the website currently only lists CTJ and Johnson (Buda) attending time will tell if it takes off Quote
Samuel Culper Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 The Alamodome is a big, expensive stadium for a new circuit to rent. Quote

I hope it works out, - always a great time in the dome and it would make a great week with BOA, UIL and this event Quote

BandFriendzz Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 So it is confirmed that Haltom will be attending a boa dfw and grand nationals this year . This will be a first for haltom in a long time I think like 2002 ? I’m not 100 percent sure but can’t wait to see what happens this season! Exciting Quote

In my opinion, and from what I have seen from them in recent years, they should be in finals at both, but it will be very interesting to see where they LAND in finals at both contests. Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I wonder how much this will affect how many contests bands go to this year and how far they travel even if this clears up by the middle of the summer. Quote
SpartanBandAlum Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 I’m pretty sure you have everything, but Porter’s planning on attending - Friendswood Marching Contest (9/26) - USBands Dekaney Showcase (10/3) - BOA Houston Regional (10/3) - Lone Star Preview (10/10) - UIL Region Marching Contest (10/17) - Waller Marching Festival (10/24) - UIL 5A Area I Marching Contest (10/31) - Director’s Choice Nationals (11/7) Quote
southtxbd Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Earl Warren will also be back at BOA San Antonio this year Quote
LeanderMomma Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Leander has their schedule up. No TMC this year, sadly, but we are adding Waco. Sept. 26–BOA Austin October 17–BOA Waco October 30-31–BOA San Antonio BandFan95 1 Quote

Too many times another great band comes from behind in semis to take over the lead. I can see several bands here with the ability to do just that. It’ll be fun trying, though! ? Quote

There are 2-3 bands I could see potentially pulling a major upset if the stars align. Quote

Interesting (but not surprising) to see them forgo 5A Area. I know some districts/schools would never let their bands miss a UIL event. Quote

Expand Leander's UIL Region was one of the very few (less than five) that voted down Every Year Area. I think that sentiment was particularly strong and supported in their ISD and Region. Quote

LISD's Region also has Lake Travis and Westlake, so they clearly have very strong music/marching programs. I'd be interested to see if the other Regions that voted against it were similar in having strong band programs (especially in BOA). I'm a bit worried that come 2021 certain bands will have to miss SA because they're effectively forced to do UIL. Some bands are affected by that this year but it'll be more significant when it impacts the 6A schools and you potentially see only half your finalists return (I also have no idea if that would actually happen as I have no inside info). Then again, surely MFA/BOA is aware of that and the calendar could be adjusted. Quote

abtwitch Posted May 28, 2020 Author Posted May 28, 2020 I've added BOA Conroe to the list despite there being no confirmed bands as of yet. For those who don't know, here's the TL;DR: On College Park's band calendar, they have the following contests listed: This appears to be MFA's response to BOA Houston always getting far over capacity. They've had a few ideas (such as Friday performances, simultaneous venues, etc.), but they seem to have chose the consecutive weekends contest route. While MFA has not officially announced it, I have confirmation from a student at College Park that this will be it's own BOA contest the same day as BOA Austin. While there are no confirmed participants, here are a few bands that will more than likely not switch from Katy due to contest scheduling: The Woodlands, College Park, Westwood, Westlake, Clear Brook, Clear Creek, Dawson, Friendswood, Pearland, and Porter. Quote
SpartanBandAlum Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Porter has another contest scheduled both weekends, although Katy does seem more likely since it’d be much harder to get to Conroe from Friendswood than from Woodforest Quote
