HornRank band bios outdated

[buckeyesax2014]

Seems like the bio for each of the bands in the top 32 haven't been updated in a while. The latest info for most bands is either 2016 or 2017. Anyone have any idea why this is? Is it just a time issue?

I wanted to bump this as I was scrolling through the older forums and this struck my curiosity.

Unsure if this has been discussed in depth somewhere else, but plenty of the bands on the lower half of the hornrank and the middle as well are outdated.

We’re there any plans to update or is it too much of a hassle to do? I understand any viewpoints as I was curious.

I know I'd be willing to write updated bios if finding someone to do it is the issue. Call me hornrank😎😎😂😂

Band bios are super cool, let’s get these up to date again!👀

As we're just now getting to off-season time, I'd bet we get lots of updates over the coming months

I would love to see this happen as well and I have offered Jeremiah help doing it several times. Maybe if we write up the fresh bios, I can submit them to him and he can just log in and add what we’ve contributed. I know he’s busy but it can’t hurt to try. If y’all want to write some up for your programs, email them to me at LeanderMomma at gmail dot com. Can’t hurt! 😁

Yeah, it's just a lot of work to keep up to date, and now that it's so many years behind, there are several design elements (like collapsible menus on mobile), and additional information I wanted to add in from year to year like show titles and musical selections, so that makes it even harder to update.

Carmel's page is up to date and I'm currently working on Hebron's, if you want to see my vision of what a new band bio page would look like: www.hornrank.com/2013/11/3-carmel-hs-in-aaaa.html.

It works a whole let better on mobile than the old band bio pages do, but even Carmel's page isn't exactly what I would want it to be when fully fleshed out.

It certainly would help if y'all wanted to organize writing blurbs for the missing years and send them to me. My current plan is to update one band bio page a week, so all of the bands currently on the list would be up to date just in time to be outdated for the 2023 season. If y'all can help me double that rate, we could have all the bands updated before lists are released.

this is phenomenal. I’m sure there are tons of ways we could help. Allohak and I can rally the troops! 😍

Bumping this up again to say that I can provide bios for the two upper midwest bands that have been in the rankings (Rosemount & Lincoln).
