Wow, you even have a date and time! I hope all of the Texas bands are on Friday. Once Southwest Airlines opens up those dates, I’m going to try and book flights for Thursday afternoon. Commit harder! I'm flying in Wednesday night even if I have to skip class! The luxury of being in-state. |

I wasn’t sure what thread to post this in... but a director I know spilled some tea from an MFA rep during indoor bang and blow finals. They said that the official enrollment lists should be out in early May. Take that with a grain of salt but it’s some exciting news! In the meantime I’ll continue to search for new info  |

I’m too young to have this bad of a memory 🤣🤣🤣 |

I’m too young to have this bad of a memory 🤣🤣🤣 Man am I antsy with anticipation for the day the lists come out. The excitement is twofold for me, because other than the surefire San Antonio Super (the on we always attend, I have no idea what other regionals (if at all) we are going to attend. I really hope we go to another regional this year like we did my sophomore year seeing that it's a non-state year for us again. |

Based on BA's band calendar (http://www.brokenarrowpride.com/?page_id=885), it appears that they officially won't be attending Grand Nationals, instead opting to do the BOA Orlando Regional and the BOA St. Louis Super Regional.

Add: Davenport Central H.S., IA Are they a chance for semis? No, they are not a chance. In fact, apparently none of the bands are "chances". |

Add: Davenport Central H.S., IA Are they a chance for semis? In all seriouness, judged on last year, it seems to me they don't have the biggest shot, but you never know. Plainfield, IN went from a sure miss in 2017 to a lock in 2018 (if they went to Grand Nats). |

Are they a chance for semis? I’m leaning towards no based on their history. And by extension, I highly doubt any Iowa band would stand a chance. Not exactly a hotspot for the marching arts, or at least not the BOA-driven kind. |

Not a high school band, but Jacksonville State University has been confirmed as an exhibition band.

Not a new entry, but just stating that a year ago today the 2018 enrollment lists were posted. Hopefully we'll see the 2019 enrollment lists sooner rather than later.

I hope so but I think they may hold off until more locations are announced for the events that don’t currently have one secured. With the Northeast Ohio regional now being relocated to Central Ohio, a handful of bands will likely be changing their plans around. Could be that way with a couple of others and I’m sure they want to change the enrollment lists as little as possible once released. |

I wouldn't be surprised if they wait until after May 15th - that's their cutoff date for dropping regionals if there's not 18 bands signed up. Hasn't happened in a few years, but with the mediocre stadium just announced for the Ohio regional (placeholder for cancellation?), I wouldn't be surprised. |

Agreed. But, if their attitude towards the maintenance MFA discussion forums are anything to go by, it seems like they want to do minimal work/updating. |

And I'm pretty sure WGI's been doing that for at least 10 years. If not 10, then close to 10. |
