BOA puts on a class event. Compared to ISSMA at the same location, it managed better. Now, paying top dollar foe good seats, I was disappointed with section 340. Unless you are in the first row, there is a head blocking the entire center of the field. Last year in 542, the view was better and the sound was better. I actually watched a few bands standing at the entrance to 346 (endzone) and had a better experience.
We attended for the first time in a while. Pearland TX first time ever performing in Indy, our son is band director. It was an amazing experience from watching their band to all the others & the amazing children, their parents & directors & staff. always brings tears to my eyes! Phenomenal! All so well put together!
BOA Grand National Semi-Finals did not disappoint with the bands on the field. However, Lucas Oil Stadium "security"were not clear about permitted seating to start the day. We had General Admission seating tickets which, per Ticketmaster, would allow seating in the 500/600 level of the stadium. Arriving at the stadium at 7:20 a.m. (gates opened at 6:30), stadium staff tried to keep us from sitting at this level, but relented upon brief discussion. However, they continued to block people from sitting in the 500/600 level until approximately 10:00 a.m. The GA tickets didn't state that 500/600 would open at a later time. Just keep it consistent for the whole day folks.
BOA Grand Nationals is one of our favorite nights of the year! Great entertainment and an excellent venue at Lucas Oil.
Tremendous bands! Hebron , Avon, Carmel, The Woodlands, and Mason were on fire
Such a great experience! As a former marching band member, I had gone to nationals in 2022 and to be honest, it was not the best experience. I was sleep deprived, dehydrated, and overall just miserable. No fault of anyone’s, it’s just how the event happened, but going this year really redeemed the overall experience for me. My tickets were easily accessible through the Ticketmasters app and had no trouble entering the stadium. (Having a lot more sleep and not being as exhausted really helped too). TLDR: 10/10 would nationals again. Buy the tickets on the ticketmasters app, it’s a lot faster that way.
Way too expensive. This is BOA, high school bands, not DCI. And then again, DCI is way too over priced as well.
Had my beautiful granddaughter win the national championship marching band. A great night for my family
Wonderful seats at Lucas Oil Stadium. The BOA show is out of this world and top notch bands.
