Then there is this district in Pennsylvania: Central Bucks East, Central Bucks West, and Central Bucks South. North East H.S. is in Erie County, the northwesternmost county in Pennsylvania. Lakota East and Lakota West in Ohio...the school assignments are on an almost-perfect north/south split (Liberty Township vs City of West Chester) The University of South Florida is located farther north than the University of Central Florida. And the physical location of the two Lakota schools has more North-South difference than it does East-West.

Do we know if some of the bands that would potentially be flying/traveling longer distances have dropped this contest? I think it’s a valid question to ask with what’s been going on recently.

Confirmed: Marshall H.S., MN A few years back I thought Marshall was ready to do some damage in BOA Class A, but the area kept growing and they eked over into Class AA. Still, pre-pandemic they marched 180-200 every year from a school of about 850 (9-12). Longtime director Wayne Ivers just retired, so I don't know what to expect from this group this season.

Would love to see Nixa attend. Their 2019 show was great. I'm really looking for some powerful groups to start coming out of MO within the next few years.

The following bands on the lists are not included on the Director’s Checklist on MFA site as of September 9:
Parkway South, MO River Falls, WI
Note that there are five bands on published schedules and one on the list for GN that aren’t on the checklist either, so a band’s absence from the checklist is not a definite sign they aren’t participating.

Short of Rosemount your Finals list looks good. They have always made it to Finals in a Super Regional, St. Louis or Indy, and I don't think that changes unless COVID has affected them severely. It's always a crapshoot what they'll do. Last year they almost beat Blue Springs in the Iowa Regionals, but didn't score well in St Louis. This year so far, the only info we have of them is that they scored well in the Eastview Festival. Interesting that they now have Leon May, Boston Crusaders, as drill designer instead of Wes. I'm glad you included Lincoln, their show this year looks really strong. It's always confusing for me why they don't get into Finals more. But I'm crossing fingers that they make it this year. Otherwise I'm just excited we're all talking about Marching Band competitions.

Does Wes actually write drill ever? I thought he was always just program coordinator anyway

Cartwright coordinates, but doesn’t write drill (or at the very least, hasn’t written in at least a decade and a half in any meaningful way). Leon May writing drill means that Cartwright is still likely involved.

Last year they almost beat Blue Springs in the Iowa Regionals Last year (2019) they did beat Blue Springs at Iowa Regional Prelims. Being from Minnesota, where the snow can hit mid-October, Rosemount has historically peaked early, which has led to some frustration at BOA St. Louis. I don't know how long it has been there, but I know Rosemount H.S. now has an inflatable dome to cover their practice field, so Rosemount should be able to keep working on their show regardless of weather. I'm eager to see what they do at St. Louis and Grand Nationals this season.
