Correct - they are not competing at all in 2020. I'd imagine for the smaller bands, their per person student cost is higher. I think this will only further the trend big band survival and little band reduction, much like what we see today in California (and you could make and argument for the entire country).

Well Miamisburg has announced their 2020 show and staff, and starting pre band camp on Monday July 13...at high school which I live by. It will be interesting to see...if it does happen....no word on whether students are returning to school yet....good friend of family is the Miamisburg athletic director, and he's not sure about whether kids, or how they will reopen the schools here in the Burg yet? ?

Strong word has it that Illinois bands are not allowed to travel this year. If true, that would eliminate bands like Marian, O'fallon, and Lockport.

Would this apply to private schools though? Seems like something you'd need to hear directly from a governor about. I can see the public schools being forced into a box, but am less certain about the others. I thought Illinois was trying to do a 'victory lap' since their cases were down for a short while.

No victory lap here, as we have cancelled most (if not all at this point) competitions for 2020.

I feel like this would all be less painful if they just cancelled all at once instead of getting a couple of drops every day on each contest.

Out of texas only Bridgeland , Reagan and Whitesboro remain I heard that Reagan and Vista Ridge were proposing a plan for competitions to UIL earlier this week. I believe Reagan is trying hard to keep this commitment.

They're a smaller organization so it surprised me to see them not officially drop. Great band and great sound just on the smaller side. Hope we see them in the future.
