I will be present from start to finish. I am working band exit (this time as event staff rather than as a volunteer). I plan to be in the building when the first band enters for warm up each day and exit after the final official activity.

I will be at semifinals with my daughter. We also have tickets to finals, which we intend on using unless I'm so distraught that I drink too much at the Yard House and get into a brawl with some a-holes from Round Rock and get hauled off to jail. Again.

I’ll roll into Lucas Oil straight from the airport at about 10 or 10:15 AM on Saturday and be there the rest of the day.

Flying in tomorrow (Wednesday) evening and leaving Sunday morning. Spectator only, no direct affiliation, although I may be receiving some sailor hats tonight at TWHS's send-off performance.

Driving out early Saturday(like, leaving home at 3am). Volunteering during semifinals (suite level director viewing area), will either continue in finals or spectate the evening contest.

I'll be out of GN's until Saturday, due to life and circumstances out of my control.

Also, I have one ticket in section 339 for finals (about the 40-45 YD line on side 2) that I’m really trying to part with. Willing to pass it along to someone for 60 dollars—just trying to grab some of the loss back.

My 20 year old former Leander band student and myself will be there late Thursday night (too late to watch prelims that day) through early Sunday morning when we fly home. Planning to attend the big block on Friday morning, then sight see awhile, and then attend the TXBands watch party Friday night and spend all day long in LOS on Saturday.
Can't wait!

I'll be there all three days! First contest of the season...finally! I'll be helping my good friends at TxBands with their Live Blog. Be sure to check it out! Looking forward to great friends, even better bands and some much needed R&R. Well the relaxation part anyway.
If you know me, please say hello. If you've never met me, please introduce yourself. If you're OldSchoolTrumpet, sorry...
I'll certainly be rooting for my Hoosier bands, but hoping every band leaves it all on the field!
Good luck, safe travels, and God bless!

Driving down very early Saturday from Chicago to see semi-finals and finals. Grand Nationals is light on Illinois bands this year, so we are watching other bands we do not see at Illinois and Midwest BOA competitions.
We were at the Indy Super Regional, and we really liked Avon. We want to see if any of the bands from other regions have equitable shows.

I’m coming as a band parent with two kids performing. The kids leave and fly out tomorrow, I’ll be flying in on Thursday with my hubby. Will be at Friday morning prelims, then probably will explore the city some. We will be there most of Saturday- maybe taking a break depending on what times bands perform. We fly home first thing Sunday morning.

I'll be there next year on a working trip, chaperoning. It will be my youngest kid's senior year. Looking forward to going out on the Big Stage!

I'll be there for sure for the Friday night block and Saturday semis...my office is about three blocks from LOS, so I may roll down and catch some Thursday night performances, too. Welcome to Indy, everyone!

I'm sitting at the Raleigh airport waiting for my flight into Indianapolis. I'll be there all three days (and without a kid on the field so it should be stress free).
