2022 BOA San Antonio (Nov. 4 & 5)

[Dallas Hobbs]

Just checked the prelims scores on hornrank. Apparently my prediction of vista ridge in 7th or 8th was more accurate in prelims than in finals. They were the former. 
 

Also Hebron got 1st from every judge except music ensemble in prelims! 🤯

So proud of my alumni Keller Central 🥲

Historically it's always been their biggest weakness. Fortunate it didn't cost them the gold today.

Man, what a contest.

• Keller in finals after a rough season
• Leander, Rouse, and Westlake not making finals
• Argyle becoming a class champion in their first year of BOA
• Flower Mound, Marcus, and Coppell placing very low
• Vista Ridge and Round Rock making a huge comeback
• TWHS takes a caption from Hebron after losing directors
• Pecos becoming a class champion after getting a 2 at region

 

What a contest.

and Pearland continuing to make finals again, and even breaking a school record by placing 12th, after all their band directors left and they underwent a complete staff change over the summer.

27th - Wylie

28th - Brandeis

29th - Friendswood

30th - Lake Travis

28th was Wylie East, Brandeis was 55th

Genuine question,

Dripping Springs always seems to do significantly better in UIL than BOA. Much more than quite literally any other band.

Whats their secret to their perpetual UIL success and why doesn’t it transfer to BOA?

[Origin]

Looks like the top 14 was actually quite definitive after prelims. The top 14 all scored over a 90 in prelims! I thought Westlake would be at least a few places higher. Keller top 4 in their panel over Marcus, wow! Incredible showing for all the Keller schools actually.

oops

That's still a W for the Wylie schools, we'll see how they do at state.

[Tubalord11]

Here are all the changes in top 14 from prelims to finals: 

Hebron: no change

Woodlands: 3rd to 2nd

Reagan: 2nd to 3rd 

Vandegrift: 5th to 4th 

Vista: 7th to 5th 

CTJ: no change 

Flower Mound: 4th to 7th 

Round Rock: 13th to 8th!!!!! That's massive, congrats!!! 

Cedar Ridge: 11th-9th 

Cedar Park: 8th-10th 

Coppell: 9th-11th

Pearland: 14th-12th 

Marcus: 12-13th 

Keller: 10th-14th 

 

So top and bottom 7 were the same, but almost everyone moved up or down a spot! Biggest change was RR, jumping up 5 spots, and the next Keller dropping down 4. A crazy comp for sure

My finals predictions for Keller, coppell, Pearland, and Ronald Reagan were inaccurate for finals but accurate for prelims. This keeps happening! 🤦🏾‍♂️
 

And comparing my finals predictions with prelims placements I was one off for flower mound and vista ridge (should’ve stuck with my first thought!)

Hebron And CTJ were right on the money in both rounds. 

And the others were either a little further off or way off in either round.

I think the most shocking thing for me was westlake having a lower score here than BOA North Texas, and getting beat by Keller central, who they had beat by more than 7 points at North Texas 

[Tubalord11]

Another thing to note, if Hebron had won visual GE, they would have scored a 97.55, getting the new San Antonio SR record. Tbh, it’s kinda frustrating that they didn’t. I don’t see what changed from prelims to finals, almost like the judge either hated them or something, but they deserved the record.

Good lord! I think we’ll see groups placing around 30th that would be top- half super regional finalists in STL and Indy.

Nearly confirmed by Lake Travis this year (8th at STLSR, 30th at SASR.) Also, a bit shocked that panel 1 judges allowed a 4-point gap between Cedar Ridge and Westlake. That allowed panel 2 to slot 7 bands between the two. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely do not miss the days of one panel to judge them all. Both formats definitely have their drawbacks. Also, a bit dumbfounded to see Cy-Fair in 26th place—especially with a 7th place score in ensemble music. This contest is crazy! Placing in the top 40 at this contest is more difficult than making semis at nats! Congrats to all!

[JohnSmith]

Wow by Cedar Ridge, I think this was their best performance by far and I could've agreed with them getting top 5. Also congrats to Hebron for winning for the 2nd time in a row and also beating last year's score by 2 points, I'm pretty sure they've already won state.

There’s a lot to look at and analyze. Another way to see it is that for that final friday block of panel 1, having three of the top 6 in one block to end the night, it both paid and didn’t pay to be in that block. All of KISD and Leander got grouped so close together. Had they performed at vastly different points of the contest we could’ve seen something totally different

Hebron is the 4th band to win back-to-back SASRs since the contest began in 2003(Reagan ‘04-‘05, LD Bell ‘08-09, Flower Mound ‘15-‘16).

Another fun statistic. The number of SA championships from each metroplex since 2003:

DFW: 12

San Antonio: 5

Houston: 2

And GN championships:

Houston: 3

DFW: 1

Austin: 1

[LostChoirGuy]

It's crazy that an Austin group has never won the San Antonio super regional!
