Well if Indiana is cancelling their season, it's over! BOA will announce soon, my guess!

ISSMA canceling was the final nail in the coffin for BOA. We should expect an announcement within the next few days.

Drop:
Bridgeland H.S. (Cypress, TX)
This leaves Reagan as the only Texan band still hanging in there.

Grand Nationals is most likely cancelled but there's no harm in keeping up with who's officially dropped out so far.

Drop: Homestead H.S. (Fort Wayne, Indiana) From what I've heard, Homestead hasn't announced an official drop-out. I could be wrong though, not like there's going to be a season anyways

I could be wrong though, not like there's going to be a season anyways They have announced to the program that there will not be a competitive season this year. They will not be attending any shows (because there won't be any... just like every other band in Indiana).

Broken arrow cancelled marching season BA hasn't cancelled marching season. Band camp is currently happening. They just aren't doing any competitive shows this season, and not traveling. They are doing something completely different this season since they won't be doing any BOA comps. What that will be remains to be seen, since the decision was just made this week.

Music for All Statement on 2020 Bands of America Championships Written by Debbie Laferty Asbill Schools across America are in the midst of finalizing their plans for the start of the 2020-2021 school year. After thoughtful conversations over several months with enrolled directors, educational consultants and advisors, and several state associations, Music for All has announced today that it is unable to present its 2020 Bands of America Championships due to the many challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision was recommended by the Music for All staff and affirmed by the Music for All Board of Directors.
We are facing uncertain and unprecedented times, and the health, safety and wellness of the students, band directors, staff, volunteers, spectators, and others associated with our programs remain our number one priority.
With this extraordinary development, we share in the deep disappointment of the thousands of performing students, teachers, and supporters.
Music for All remains committed to providing educational opportunities this fall. We are offering several remote evaluation opportunities in order to provide quality feedback from BOA adjudicators and MFA evaluators, and goal-oriented experiences to motivate and inspire students during this unusual time. Details on how to sign up for remote evaluation and virtual performance opportunities will be announced soon.
We will begin work right away on the 2021 Bands of America Championship season, in order to announce the 2021 schedule and open registrations later this fall. We cannot wait to see you all on the field and in the concert hall in the future.
Thank you to all of the music educators, adjudicators, event staff, volunteers, and fans who have continued to support Music for All during this difficult time. We will get through this together. Music for All continues to be here for you to provide positively life-changing experiences through music for all and to do everything we can to ensure that we all make sure music in our schools is stronger than ever in the future.

We could all see the writing on the wall for a while, but, man...seeing that list of "drops" is sort of crushing. Thinking of all the seniors at all those schools (including one of my own) that were looking forward to one last run at Lucas Oil that will never be.

Or that were going to have their first (and only) run at Lucas Oil. It takes years of planning for some programs to go to grand nats. I wonder how many can afford and will have membership numbers to just roll to next year.
