I take that back- if Jenks doesn’t go to STL I could see them going. I was thinking a physical “beep beep”. After all, CARman, would make sense and it fits the “hint”. Broken Arrow is going to nats, STL, and the Rose Parade. I would be shocked if they decided to do more (out of state).

Very early, random predictions: - Flower Mound doesn’t win, neither does Reagan - Vista Ridge in top 3 - Vandegrift either doesn’t break top 5 or wins Contrary to my opinions, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Reagan/FloMo/VR top 3, but I really don’t know anything lol. Typically, in years past, bands that have an AMAZING year either build off of that (Mason ‘16, for example) or (more often than not) don’t live up to the expectations the following year (Mason ‘17, FloMo ‘19). Vandegrift still has more room to grow, but they’re at that glass ceiling and they can either break it or go down. Just saying, if Vista Ridge comes out with another soprano sax solo, I’m rooting for them to win. Also just saying, if Flower Mound has predominantly white props again, I will be annoyed

I'll narrow down that list a little bit more based on pure common sense. Probably not Lawrence Twp or Marian as they do not typically travel much. Also, Marian is coming off of two years that are not necessarily at par with what we are expecting from them. That description would also fit Kennesaw, Center Grove, and PCEP. And Lafayette isn't even that big of a surprise if they did go. I agree with your financial list, but I might throw Mason in there not necessarily as financially fit but definitely a possibility. Not that they wouldn't be able to do it, but Tarpon and BA are already going to GN, so I would be extremely surprised to see them make this trip as well. With all of the chaos with Wando, I don't see them going down. My list would be... JENKS - My prediction. bigtrombone reported on Friday that Jenks doesn't have St. Louis Super on their calendar. Although that may be because the program is taking two concert trips in April plus Grand Nationals in November, it would make perfect sense that this Super Regional is why and that they are just keeping it under wraps for now. Carmel Homestead (could they want to make the trip down with the new director to kick things off?) Dobyns-Bennett Blue Springs I can tell you 100% that it will NOT be Homestead. They are planning on attending all ISSMA events during the 2020 season and SA falls on the ISSMA Semi-State weekend (qualifier for ISSMA State Finals). Plus it is not on their 2020 performance schedule. You can take Carmel off the list also.

And that show also likely wouldn’t have made San Antonio finals in 2018. BUT, we love for bands to join our party, and if Jenks breaks through, we’ll cheer very loudly for them in finals!

It was about the experience, a fun trip, and getting to watch some of the best bands in the country dominate on their home turf. The class medal was simply a bonus.

Assuming that Jenks produces a show as successful as their 2018 show, I could see them anywhere from 14th-22nd

I think Jenks has earned a place in "finals consideration" but I don't think it will be very likely that they will nab one of the coveted spots.

Hell, their prior trip to GN, 2016, they didn't even make Semis! And then to be comfortably in Finals two years later and the bronze medalist at STL. Then to follow up that insane breakout year with a lackluster 13th out of 14 place finish at STL in 2019?! No idea what to expect from Jenks moving forward.
