Does anyone else compete in the BOA circuit? What band are you in? What regionals do you go to? Do you go to Grand Nationals?

I'm in the Carmel High School Marching Band. We've been to soooo many regionals! We live like 30 minutes from Lucas so duh we go to grand nationals every year. Won in 2005! When I was in 8th grade....boo. Won music caption in 2008!

We don't participate. Buuut we hosted it this past year. Or, at least part of it.

I volunteered to help, and let me tell you it is hard work stamping every member in a band's hand as they're all trying to rush through a tiny gate to get off the field. D;

    I love BOA! We only participate in one regional a year, though. I'm hoping we'll be more active in it by the time I'm a senior, because I look forward to BOA more than any other competition. Grand Nationals sounds like it would be really exhilarating. :]

I wish we participated in BOA. We just do state, nothing bigger>.>

Yes, in my two years of marching band we went to Super Regionals and Grand Nationals.

Grand Nationals Finals was one of the most awesome things ever! mrgreen

We also won it when I was in it... But I can't say what band I'm from... Even though I've graduated I'm pretty sure my band directors would still be like "Don't say you're from here on the internet, you might give us a bad reputation."

I'm not kidding they actually did say that to all of us.

    Our band is going to Grand Nationals for the first time in November...I'm so excited! It sounds amazing!

    All of our seniors are really disappointed that they can't come...so they all want to chaperone. xd

    How many times did you go?

We went twice. (when I was in it anyway, the two years I was in it.)

Almost didn't go in my senior year though... To think if we really hadn't. eek

We did one BOA show, and we got one of the lower scores in our division. We went to the Santa Clarita, CA comp. I swear, our band was the only band that actually DIDN'T want to do well. :[

We participate in WBA primarily.
