I know we won't get an official schedule until the Midwest Clinic next month but what do you want/ what should we expect from next year's schedule? As of now, only two events have dates set.
San Antonio Super Regional - Oct. 30-31, 2020 Grand National Championships - Nov. 12-14, 2020
What would you all like to see on the schedule for next year?

According to the parks department that manages Fortress Obetz, they will have a regional again in roughly the same timeframe.

I would expect Indy to be October 24, which would be perfect for Illinois bands, with ISU set for the 17th and Illinois for the 31st.

Austin’s likely to come back, don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t. We’ll likely see the Kentucky regional return too as well as Houston and DFW regionals if they can get the venue locked

I’m hoping Music For All brings back the Winston-Salem Regional. I’m not sure what happened to it, but it was a very fun and interesting competition.

San Antonio already being set is probably going to be an issue with UIL area every year now

Outside of the bands from Fort Mill, Johnson City & ETSU were basically a split from Winston-Salem, with all the same bands we know and love...plus more. You'd never get a band like Lafayette or Kennesaw Mountain at Winston-Salem (although KM did almost happen in 2014). I do have some fond (and not fond) memories of performing at Wake Forest, though - and it's a great stadium for band.

I've heard Waco is most likely returning and will not be on the big UIL region weekend like it was this year. I'd say October 10th is a safe guess for Waco.
For the rest of the Texas regionals, I think we can safely guess a few of them:
McAllen - September 19th Austin - September 26th DFW and Houston - October 3rd
For Midland, I have no idea as it's jumped around every year since it started in 2017. I've also heard whispers about yet another Texas regional, no info on the location or date.

Where would another Texan regional go I would say East TX but that would make no sense. I could see them adding a North TX regional to attract OK and AR bands. North of Dallas. Wouldn’t be all too surprised to see them add a North TX Regional if they find a venue. Sounds like bands would be willing to go.

How fond are your memories of the race track? Even though it's the weirdest field I ever performed on, I have to say I had a lot of fun that day. It was my first BOA and only AA regional championship medal. It's the only one I have to claim... My younger sibling and older cousin both brag about having many, many more than I do (5 in AA and 7 in A, respectively - I have heard them both many times). So even though the venue was perhaps not the best choice and the fog that night was fitting of a horror movie, I had a blast and I'm glad I have something to claim in family arguments

My first guess was El Paso. Lubbock is too close to Midland to really make a difference in expanding BOA, while El Paso could draw from Albuquerque and Tucson (maybe) as well as the El Paso Schools.
