Same thing I said! So exciting to have them here. Hopefully the start of a long and successful relationship with BOA!

I would assume Bellevue East is the last band attending?

I would assume Bellevue East is the last band attending? It's pretty likely. I was surprised when I didn't see them.

Excited to see Gretna attened. They gained some steam towards the end of the late 2010's and, in my opinion, were poised to overtake Bellevue West as the Top Band in Nebraska before the rise of Millard West & Papillion-La Vista South.
Can't say I see them beating Pella in Class A, but they could make some noise. It's very likely we'll see at least 3 Class A Bands in finals here.

Gretna won NSBA back-to-back in 2018-19, becoming the first band from Nebraska to beat Bellevue West in quite a while (Bellevue West didn’t attend NSBA multiple years to go to BOA competitions instead). I’m unsure of how bands such as Millard West and Papio South were able to rise to the top immediately after COVID, but Gretna will continue to thrive in an area with some of the highest population growth in Nebraska. They placed 4th at NSBA in 2023, behind Millard West, Papio South, and Bellevue West, which is even more impressive considering that Gretna lost a large number of students with the opening of Gretna East. They certainly have a shot at making finals, I’ll be excited to see them perform this year ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Add: Bellevue East H.S., NE An update to the list on the MFA website without changing the "current as of" date. How many others did I miss because I only perused the pages that changed that date?

I just went through all of the lists individually to update my spreadsheets, and I think that's the only thing you (understandably) missed! I'm just about to update all of the BOA threads, too.
