Kentucky just knows how to do BOA Class A. There’s always at least one KY band in contention for the class title at Grand Nationals. This year, Murray High School blew us away with Life In Color and another success use of Psychopomp on the field. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
I don’t know how Tarpon Springs High School, one of only two Class AA BOA bands to win Grand Nationals and a perennial Finalist, does what they do, and in such a memorable way. I’m still thinking about Awakening the day after. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
I am a sucker for any show with Russian Christmas Music, so I'm an automatic fan of Avon High School. #BOAIndy #BOA2024 #MarchingBand
William Mason High School just showed us what 2017 Academy and 1993 Velvet Knights tried to do. #BOAIndy #BOA2024 #MarchingBand
I only just now figured out Cedar Park High School used Sweeney Todd and Barber because it's THE CUTTING EDGE. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
Carmel High School is making a great habit of taking a single symphonic work and making it their own. Last year was Bernstein's Jeremiah Symphony. This year, Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
Holy mother forking shirt balls, Broken Arrow High School! That was a championship quality performance! It's like you smelled blood in the water or something. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
Points to the American Fork High School vocal soloist, string quartet, and the sound board operator who made sure they were all the right level of audible over the rest of the band. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
Bridgeland High School had me the moment I saw they were playing the music of Maaya Sakamoto, including the theme to Visions of Escaflowne. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
Dobbyns-Bennett High School's Menagerie captivates us all as the captors become the captives. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingArts
I love the music of Samuel Barber, and I LOVE what Prosper High School did with it. My cat, Sweeney, did not appreciate getting woke up by the wall of sound they produced. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
A huge sound from Castle High School as they give us their take on the Matrix Mysteries, Neo Noir. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
Leander High School did a Shades Show theme and didn't play Blue Shades. I'm impressed. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
Excited to be at BOA Grand Nationals to watch kids be awesome!! #boagrandnationals #boa2024 #kidsbeingawesome #bandkidsrule

But no seriously, this is high school marching band. You do not need to be making high school *children* get up at 0300 to make a call time of 0530 for a goddamn competition. Fix your scheduling and try again. #boa2024
Bourbon County (KY) High School’s band has the formula down to a science. The members perform to their fullest, even while they’re more exposed than their larger band brethren. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
With #BOA2024 Grand Nationals underway, reaching back and sharing one of my favorite shows: Plymouth Canton 2001. Yeah, I'm old. Love the design, feels musically like something SCV of the time would play, with movable props well ahead of their time. And that soft finish!

And now Plymouth-Canton High School is performing Uffe’s Woodshop, the opener from 2014 @bluecoats.bsky.social. A fun side effect of the scheduling having these two bands perform back to back. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
Rockford, MI, High School just played Hymn of Axciom, great @bluecoats.bsky.social 2014 vibes. #BOA2024 #BOAIndy #MarchingBand
Whoever did South Jones High School’s music rights earned their salary. It’s HARD to get permission to arrange and perform Beatles music. #BOA2024 #BOS #MarchingBand
Stoneman Douglass High School with an essentially all Cadets tribute show between Angels in the Architecture and Immortal. #BOA2024 #BOA #MarchingBand
Did Bridgeland High School just play the Escaflowne theme in their closer? #BOA2024 #BOA #MarchingBand
Good luck to all the bands competing at BOA Grand Nationals this weekend!! #BOA2024
GO MCNEIL!!!!!!! Kick some butt in Finals tonight! #BOA2024
