They were going to this year since Cedar Falls this year was originally going to be on the same date as their home show in Sioux Falls. The directors did say prior to their 2020 show reveal that had Cedar Falls not been on the same weekend as their home show, they would've been at the regional. Now there is still a chance they skip BOA for YIM next year, but I have to imagine it'll come down to costs. What would be less expensive, a BOA Regional at the UNI-Dome or the Minnesota State Marching Band Championships at the state-of-the-art U.S. Bank Stadium?

This could have a very good influx of Illinois bands, what with St. Louis/Indy being the same day as ISU. Same goes for Toledo/Dayton/Clarksville/Central Ohio, wherever that will be.

It will be interesting to see how many Illinois bands attend. I agree, we may see a larger number of Illinois bands at Cedar Falls.
Bands like O’Fallon, Morton, Lincoln-Way, Lockport and others usually attend a Regional in addition to a Super Regional event and/or Grand Nationals. With the “quasi” state championship at ISU scheduled on the same day as the St. Louis and Indianapolis Super Regionals, we are going to see schools skip events they normally attend. For many Illinois schools, ISU is their biggest competition they participate in and will return there in 2021.
If schools skip either Super Regional event to perform at ISU, it opens a travel day for another competition. Cedar Falls or an Ohio BOA event will fill that slot.

I could very much see those four bands all opting to go to Cedar Falls versus Youth in Music.

If Rosemount joins Cedar Falls 2021 they could be the first Minnesota band to win a BOA regional only if Blue Springs High School doesn't pull a win just like 2019. But I feel like they're probably are not going to Cedar Falls because of their 4-year winning streak with YIM Championships.

Keep Lincoln H.S., SD in the Rumored List. They're currently deciding between this regional or Youth In Music in Minneapolis.

Blue Springs South has this distinctly marked as a "travel" day on their calendar rather than local, so while I'm not putting them in the confirmed category yet, it seems very likely that they'll be attending this regional.
