This community seems to have died...

Wow...I was unable to go to Nationals yesterday due to a band concert, of all things, but I really wish I could have gone. I was just looking at the results online. Congrats to Lawrence Central on winning, my alma mater (Marian) on getting 8th, and all the other finalists that got to perform last night! Does anyone who was there have thoughts on the shows, the bands, etc.?

ok so i need a good idea for a secion shirt, i play the tuba and so the bass clarinets are in this too....our show is Cirque Du Soliel, (La Nouba) and i have no idea what to do. if any of you have any ideas please help i would be greatly appreciative!!!

Hey everyone what's up? Well I just ran into this community by accident but I think BOA is awesome and can't wait to go back next year. I am in the Riverside Community College band which performs at BOA every 2 years. Hit me up if you want to chat I'm always on!

So I just found this community like 2 seconds ago, and I think its great!

Hey my names Mark and I go to Harrison High School in Farmington Hills Mich.
Our marching band does really well in just regular Mich competitions and we also compete in BOA. We usually dont do so hot in BOA because the bands are fricken AMAZING, and huge. This year we are only about 90 members which has gone up from 73. I am a second year member of the band and co section leader of the clarinets. We didnt go to Nationals last year because of this Disney trip (which we all thought was stupid because Nationals is the shit) but we will be going this year. We also go to the Regional in Pontiac, Mich. which is always sweet because we get to see other bands from around the country. My favorite BOA bands are prolly Ronald Reagen,Plymouth Canton, and Centreville. I mean, those are the ones I know about about the most and they are all amazing. I wish everyone the best of luck this season!

So marching band season has started for most of you. What is your show music for this year?

Ours is Gladiator, when originally we were going to do Pirates of the Carribean.

Hi all. Are "BOA Band Alumni" permitted in this community? I'm Katie, and I was in the Marian Catholic High School Band from fall of 1998 to spring of 2002 (when I graduated). I play trumpet, though I marched mellophone for one month in the fall of my freshman year! Though I no longer compete in any of their events, I still keep tabs on all things BOA, and I am a true band geek at heart. I am now a student at Valparaiso University in Indiana, where I have just finished up my sophomore year and hope to perform in Chamber Concert Band as a junior.

I see that Torrie is a member of this community, as well! Hiya!
