BOA San Antonio: General Information & Itinerary

Here is our BOA San Antonio itinerary. Please check here for information about that weekend!

This is our final performance and trip of the 2022 marching season. BOA San Antonio (the Bands of America San Antonio Super Regional Championships) is a highly competitive show with a prelims and finals performance. There are 83 bands competing in prelims on Friday and Saturday, and 14 bands will advance to the finals show on Saturday evening. Lots of good bands will be there, and either way we will be there on Saturday to experience the finals show.

*NEW* BOA San Antonio: Saturday Logistics

Students

• Call Time @ 2:30pm
• Please EAT BREAKFAST & LUNCH before you arrive
• Show Shirts
• Show Hair: Highly encouraged that show hair be done before arriving @ GHS - who will have the best show bun?!

Truck Drivers, Volunteers, Parents

• The plan is to keep the truck loaded on Friday night, and to be on "standby" for Saturday scores
• If we do make Finals, it will be a "hurry up and go" scenario
• We will draw for our potential Finals time when we arrive at the show on Friday
• We will NOT plan on the truck drivers or pit crew traveling with the band.
• We will only call the truck drivers and a "Finals Standby Pit Crew" if we DO make Finals. Otherwise, pit crew and drivers will not be traveling with the band.
• Realistically, the chances of us making the Finals show this year are low - but there IS a chance, and we want to be ready in case!
