Even with just three bands confirmed, this is already looking to be another great Grand Nationals! 😂

Its 2 years away and obviously could change at any time, but I have reason to believe that Independence HS in Virginia is going in 2026, though I have heard rumblings of 2025 if the funding gets there faster than expected, but they were just in Indy this year for the Super, so I'm expecting 2026.

also from the VA contingent, nothing set in stone, but Bassett has generally gone every 2 or 3 years and they last went in 2022, so I wouldn't be shocked if they go in 2025.

Reagan will be here. There’s no public information right now but I can say 100% Reagan will be here, and the official announcement will be out in 2-5 months.

I seem to remember Pearland wanting to go every other year, which if that holds true, we would see them in Indy next yr!
My current non-exhaustive wishlist: Coppell, Timber Creek, 7L, The Woodlands College Park, Dawson, Cy Woods, Cy Fair, Rouse
+ all of team Texas’s previous representatives of course!

I've heard every 4 years for Pearland. Would mean they would be back in 2027 along with Hebron. |

Not for 2025, but a birdie told me that Bridgeland wants to start coming every other year. This will be a great addition!

Attending, for now: Edwardsville H.S., IL (calendar) This is a good add. Nice to see them continuing on the national level. Not sure if they're fully in the conversation for a semifinalist spot, but depending on who shows up from 3A, they could be a class representative. Now, if we can get some Northern IL bands to come (Plainfield North, Prospect, Hersey, maybe an Oswego) |
