Big surprise as their staff has been pretty anti-BOA for a while, I'm guessing their new director they just got from Hendrickson within the past few years is having more of an influence on their marching band now.

Gonna do my thing where I talk about the band for longer than you probably care to hear.
The Georgetown High School Band is a storied program in Texas, but often gets overshadowed by other dominate bands during the 80s. Before the every other year state system that UIL is notorious for, they were a dominate force in 4A (modern day 5A). In fact, they won 6 straight championships between 1980 and 1985. In 1986, they moved up to 5A and made state again but missed finals; forward from there, their appearances at state were far more sparse. During the early 90s, they were 4A again for a bit and made state finals in 1990 and 1991, placing 4th both times and then qualified for 5A state in 1994, 2000, and then most recently 2017 (with the modern day 6A system). I can't recall if they have attended BOA in the past at any point, but if they have it wasn't anytime recently.
Georgetown will be competing in BOA Class AAA, but they'll have trouble toppling some of the AAA powerhouses in south Texas such as Roma, Robert Vela, Mission, Gladys Porter, James Pace etc. as well as Weiss and Grapevine who are also making the trip. Excited to see where Georgetown will land at their first BOA regional (at least in a long time) and if they can exceed expectations.

Okay that is SO exciting! Good for them. They are such an entertaining band and guard. McAllen is in for a treat!

On a tangent, it’s really hard to find any information about this regional in particular because a lot of the bands in the RGV don’t maintain any websites or aren’t very active on social media. While I don’t think this regional would be in danger of being cancelled given how popular it’s been since its inception a few years ago, only having 7 bands confirmed is a little worrisome. I’d reach out to directors personally and just ask but I find that a bit weird, personally. If anyone wants to though, be my guest. 😂

The 'N' stood out like a sore thumb. I usually don't look at the updated lists unless they are a new post, so LeanderMomma posting it brought it to my attention for the first time.

Eh, it's just like being able to watch a band on the field and notice immediately which trombone player is out of step. The thing which is different sticks out
