Those that have never been 4A champs that have a shot in future years; Flower Mound TX, William Mason OH, CTJ TX, Ronald Reagan TX (they won 3A but never 4A)

Add
Camdenton, Choctaw, Grain Valley in AA.
The competitive depth and overall quality in AA is under appreciated in my opinion. And the BOA adjudication sheets and system really under scores that class.

I think Sullivan MO and Hollister MO have good shots in 1A given the right direction. Sullivan has shown that they can play right up against Archbishop Alter and the Kentucky bands, and Hollister is in a great area for a little extra Branson showbiz push. I can especially see Hollister getting picked up by a big designer and taking over someday. I think they’d be a great Vento program, IMO.

And the BOA adjudication sheets and system really under scores that class. Crazy to think how competitive AA would be each and every year if Tarpon “voluntarily” moved to either 3A or 4A. You could have a different champion every year! |

Still ignored them in terms of AA. My guess is they don’t really concern themselves with the AA champion title either. |

May I be the first to nominate Pella, IA for 1A Pella is home to the Pella Corporation, who make windows and doors. Their other big factory is located in… Murray, Kentucky. So my new favorite cospiracy theory is that excellent small school bands are caused by a secret cabal of window manufacturers. |

Campbell County for 2A in about 5-10 years
Other than the Louisville Regional, where they were class champions and 5th overall, they have won every show since by a comfortable margin.

They are a "Texas Loud" Kentucky-like small school big band. |

You could have a different champion every year! Not to stir the pot, but yes Tarpon needs to be in 3A. There needs to be some caveat for schools that are magnets for the performing arts. Another thing to consider is schools of choice. I know of one band program in particular in Michigan that is pulling in students with a high aptitude and interest in music from neighboring districts through the school of choice program because of their music education program. I think it is long overdue for BOA to strengthen equity in their classification system. It seems that using just one variable, 10-12 grade enrollment numbers, is not enough. |
