Does anyone know anything about the shape Franklin is expected to be in? They didn’t fare the director changes in 2019 as well as expected, and I remember hearing at the time that the new staff initially planned to come in with a much heavier concert focus (I could very well be misremembering). Anyone know how they’re looking for 2021?

Maybe, but they got pummeled at the big MTSU Contest of Champions event in 2019. They were 11th out of 15 bands in Class AAA, 13 points behind a down-year Franklin and only a point ahead of Union City.

Yes I wish you could stalk for us! I thought Franklin actually faired pretty well with the director change - they pulled some good ordinals at St. Louis in 2019 despite not making finals.

Not sure how the band did, but the football team has scored a grand total of 0 points across their first two games.

Another great TN band program I would love see at BOA is Munford H.S. they have dominate Bandmaster Championships for years and USSBA/UsBands. Munford is doing COC after 8 years, and without Franklin and maybe McGavock seem like a easy win for them.

My best friend from back then later went on to be in the band and marched with them when they went to the Rose Parade. Maybe I’d have been in that band too if I wasn’t a military brat 😋

I think people tend to underestimate Lincoln-Way since they don't attend too many BOA competitions. Based off 2018 and 2019 this should be an easy win for them

I think people tend to underestimate Lincoln-Way since they don't attend too many BOA competitions. Based off 2018 and 2019 this should be an easy win for them I mean, their last BOA competition was the 2019 Indy Super regional where they finished 4th to Avon, Carmel, and Blue Springs, defeating Homestead (in 5th) and beating Castle by a full 4 points. So yeah, I'd think LincolnWay might be a favorite here. The only thing about that last appearance though was that it was LW's last show of the year, while the others had a few weeks to go. Harder to gauge what these groups might look like early season. I'll push my chips in on LincolnWay though.
