People getting scammed on social media by pages pretending to be Bands of America/Box 5 should 100% be on this card. They caught it really quickly....

- Band from state that's never made GN finals, makes finals I don't want THAT on MY card. I am not confident that either Bob Jones (AL) or Cheney (WA) will make finals and if our "confirmed" list is accurate, those are the only two options available. What classes are these two again? I don’t think it’ll be this year, but I get this feeling that the next new state to perform on Saturday night will be a class champion rather than a finalist (I don’t think I have to say who)

Terrible performance unit parking
Conflicting guidance from volunteers
The random draw putting big name bands in the best performance slots
Small bands getting screwed in GE score

Weather delays/cancellations would be a good one (although hopefully there won’t be any)

That happened two years ago with the infamous Brownsburg backward marching pile-up. Bonus: they made finals. I believe Mustang also had three falls in 2022 semifinals. They were caused by those giant circular tarps. the bell of one of the sousaphones was bent all out of place

If these are the squares were set on, I have a website that can generate a unique bingo card every time you go to it. That way everyone can have their own bingo card, and now just one for everyone. tinyurl.com/BOABingoCard (have to shorten the link since the full one is 1232 characters long, too much for a Hornrank post)

Your other points are, well, on point…

Or cut the suggestion list off at a defined time - specific date or when we see a published GN attendance list, for example.

As Event Staff, I always tell my volunteers that it's very okay to say "I don't know, but I'll find out." When in doubt, involve someone in a blue Music For All polo shirt.

Your other points are, well, on point… You need to get out more! Would love to see you at additional events. I’ve thought about it! I don’t know if they need me, but have thought about doing some of the events within driving distance of Indy…I love working with the volunteers and seeing everyone

A small band will have purchased props from a larger band (most likely a Wes show) and repainted them for use this year.
Someone will use tarps and regret it

I think there would be a prop crew coup if tarps were suggested. Two dozen 700-lb welded steel cages on wheels? No sweat. Tarps? Them's fightin' words.

You know what would be crazy? If a band used a single tarp that covered the ENTIRE field. Make it a bright color and it would probably blind everyone in the stadium. And then if you’re trying to sell it, put “tarp for sale” on the underside so everyone sees it and you have people to buy it. Surely that hasn’t been done before.
