MikeKyu Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 This is the strongest regional in the country. Band for band, throughout the day, there is no contest that can touch the quality that can be seen here. J-Mike16 1 Quote

I would personally agree with you on this, but I would say the dfw regional is also extremely high in quality, especially these past or so years. JWork and ReveriesOp24 2 Quote

Expand Being in the DFW/Bedford area, no Austin next season is the strongest easily, at DFW theres a pretty decent gap between top 4/5 and everyone else, but from how this is shaping there isnt a gap between top 4 and the rest, its gonna be a gap between finalists and non finalists with alot of the heaviest hitters at 6A and 5A state finals, compared to the 4-5 finalists, and most to all from 6A at that.

Expand Yeah, you’re actually complete right lol, didn’t think about it like that. Even this past dfw had that, with the difference between first and 5th about 5 points, but yeah, definitely won’t be happening here. Gonna be an very exciting comp for sure! Quote
Popular Post MikeKyu Posted March 16, 2023 Popular Post Posted March 16, 2023 Both Austin and Bedford will be exciting. Luckily I live about a 15 minute drive from Kelly Reeves. Having spectated this for years and I feel blessed. It's been a golden era for HS marching bands in an area. Bedford is a great show for a top half/bottom half contest. It's also a great place for fans to comfortably watch the contest. Much better than Kelly Reeves for the people in the stands all day. Plus the PA at Kelly Reeves is possibly the worst in all of Texas for a contest. You'd figure that the Round Rock ISD could fund a new PA system but I guess that's not on their radar. There's only 1 show and it's non-BOA in the country that has a higher band for band performance level and fortunately it's even closer to me than Kelly Reeves. That show is the Leander Festival of Bands. Last year was a madhouse like I've not seen before. It's not a contest but it's a celebration for the middle and high school programs. Plus getting the hear and feel: Leander Vandegrift Vista Ridge Cedar Park Glenn Rouse and all of the middle school bands play together at the end of the show is almost as powerful as when DCI finalists all played at finals award ceremonies. gregorydf01, Tubalord11 and LeanderMomma 3 Quote

Expand Living in the dfw my whole life, I've always heard such incredible things about the LISD night, and I've wanted to go so bad. Luckly, I'm only about an hour and a half away from Gupton stadium now that I'm going to college here in Waco, and considering that I won't be able to go to either Austin or Bedford due to having to do marching band for football games this coming up season (Thanks for scheduling 8 home games this year NCAA committee), I will most likely make the drive down this year. Vista is the only one I've gotten to see live from a great angle at GN's finals in 21, but I need to see everyone else! LeanderMomma and gregorydf01 2 Quote

Expand Pennington is a great place to watch bands, so close to the field, you can get either view, from down in field level to the higher profile views you might want, with the Austin show being so early, you definitely have to deal with the heat more than you do up here, but even now lately for the Bedford show, the competitions have been clear, sunny, hot days where you’re still baking out there. You definitely need to bring hats, sunscreen, umbrellas for these shows! I really do hope that the competitions this year can be blessed with some cloud cover(no rain though🙏) to where the fans are most comfortable and where the students can put on their best show, if it’s hot for us in the stands, the students are BAKING out there!😰 Quote
LeanderMomma Posted April 5, 2023 Author Posted April 5, 2023 Added Lake Travis and Ann Richards. I wonder if we will have any bands from outside the Austin area this year? Especially since we might not see the LISD (north) groups in San Antonio this fall, it sure would be nice to have some of them come to Austin. Quote
LeanderMomma Posted May 8, 2023 Author Posted May 8, 2023 This one is slower to fill up than some of the others this year. I hope we see some surprises here soon! Quote
LeanderMomma Posted June 4, 2023 Author Posted June 4, 2023 Added four more bands, including Liberty Hill and James Earl Rudder. Both are new faces to BOA Austin. In fact, this is Liberty Hill’s first BOA contest, period! gregorydf01 1 Quote

gregorydf01 Posted August 23, 2023 Posted August 23, 2023 I remember some rainy day competitions for BOA Austin, mostly in the late morning and afternoon and the earlier bands didn't have to warm-up and/or perform while dealing with the weather. May be another good reason to go early. LeanderMomma 1 Quote
