2023 BOA Katy (Oct. 7)

[BandMom75]

WOW WOW WOW! Reagan was phenomenal! They brought the energy today for sure. The entire crowd was on their feet cheering. 

[Origin]

I think Reagan was the best for me so far. Just really solid throughout. Not their most interesting concept, but there’s something about the simplicity that really works when it’s executed like that. Lots of difficulty and exposed moments.

I was a little underwhelmed by CTJs show. Im used to seeing tons of action and propa from them. They had a good performance and the show is a cute concept.

I was surprised to only see one tarp for props.

sorry i hauled a** after Reagan. they were excellent!! id have it bw them and twhs, which prob means it'll be a ctj sweep lol. hoping to see both Pearland and B-land in top half!!!

[Krissy J]

Holy smokes! Clear Springs just performed at 11 am at the Gulf Coast Classic marching competition at Challenger stadium. Now they’re performing at BOA. Two different competitions on opposite sides of Houston on the same day within 4 hours of each other. Pretty ambitious!!! I saw the doors and was like, “wait! I just saw those this morning!!!”

[BandMom75]

I really enjoyed Oak Ridge’s show. Good job!

Things that wouldn’t shock me:

-a non-TWHS Houston school medalling

-Conroe finalists missing 

-Reagan winning prelims 

-top & bottom half ‘crazies’

3 for 4… not bad

[lost]

I had Pearland above CTJ. I think it was a safe prediction.

Not just finals, but top half. You guys have a great show!

[packwick]

just got back home, didn't wanna sit around for hours waiting for finals to start. horribly sunburned on my legs and arms too.

these results are so much yaaaassss!! Pearland in top 3, um, YES! that's how i would have had it but i didn't think it would happen. Bridgeland in top half, another yaaaassss!!! i think they're a real threat for San Antonio finals.

woodlands winning both perf captions, i wouldn't have thought that going in, besides maybe vis, but coming out of the contest i understand it. i thought they were prob gonna have to coast on effect via their show design, which is amazing this yr, what they have at least. Reagan def has the more complete show right now, that ending with all the flags makes a huge statement, whereas twhs just stands there and barks. so GE going to Reagan, can see that too for now.

F-wood was one of my faves again. looks like they won their class thru visual entirely. super cute show, love the set design and costumes, just the whole look.

[packwick]

hopefully the wind is better tonight so that the guards aren't struggling as much or have to pull their tosses.

but will there be a judge in khakis for me to ogle tonight... hmmm.... that's the real question....

outstanding general effect goes to... prelims individual music judge!!!

Yeah I don't think this is the forum for those types of comments. Yeesh.

[packwick]

forgot to mention Tomball Memorial, looooved their show!!! my fave concept for sure, the price is right. that was Saucedo music right? def sounded like it at the beginning. the betting on the R13 clarinet was hilarious.

also wanna point out that Pearland held onto that top 3 placement despite a relatively crappy performance time, makes ya wonder if they could even move up in finals...

def an emotional show w/ the new moon/old moon stuff.

Indeed, they do! One of my favorites this year! I heard they had *quite* the electronics issue. I think it shows great perseverance to be able to put on a finalist caliber show when something like that goes wrong. 👍

[Rubisco]

The results here are not quite what I would have expected, but I'm always down for some shake-ups!

I didn't watch prelims. I'd like to at least catch some of finals.

[packwick]

im kinda wondering what ctj's designers are thinking right now. i was chattin about this w/ my mom. i feel like if i were in their shoes id feel like damned if you do, damned of you don't kinda thing, cause ppl are always complaining, oh they do too much w/ their show design, everything and the kitchen sink, blah blah blah, but then they come out w/ a more stripped down back to basics-ish show like this one, and then ppl are like, meh it's boring, what happened to ctj!! lol like what are you supposed to do?? guess there's an in between there somewhere.
