Don't throw up that white flag so quickly. When the discussion includes well-reasoned comparisons it is of value to us all. As boahistorybuff pointed out, the variety of styles is a blessing and we each have slightly different preferences.

It frankly doesn’t matter a hill of beans if it’s Texas or Indiana or Hackensack New Jersey. Thank you LeanderMomma for including us Northeasterners. We're finally seen. I’m still hoping that my grandson will end up in the Urbana MD band some day!

Maybe I’m just weary in general but I get tired of these Texas vs everyone else or BOA vs UIL arguments. I don’t understand why it matters. Texas does really well at GN when they go, and the other top bands in the country do well at BOA San Antonio when they come down. I truly don’t understand why it matters if some people think one group has better brass or woodwinds or colorguards or marching techniques or the way they hold their drumsticks or how funny their hats look or how much they spent on their dang trailer. It’s band. It’s awesome. It frankly doesn’t matter a hill of beans if it’s Texas or Indiana or Hackensack New Jersey. You have obviously never been to Hackensack. oh but I have. 😉

I just get weary of the Us vs Them commentary I sometimes see on these forums. I think it’s a guy thing really and so it is just one of the great mysteries I may never fully understand. (Now the guys are gonna come after me 🤪)

It's cute that you think Maryland is in the Northeast LeanderMomma. Of course, I was surprised to see New Jersey referenced as "including Northeasterners" by statechamp1239.

And not very far from NJ or NY because I like to go sight seeing up there when I’m visiting my daughter. I’m anything but cute. 🤣

I am as competitive as the next guy/gal. Just unsure what the beef is between Texas and Everyone Else when it comes to marching and musicality. 🤷🏻♀️

It’s been going on for ages. 😁 Probably always will. And I guess it DOES give us something to talk about outside of marching season.

It's south of the mason dixon line, but never left the Union. So ... yeah. "border states" sort of thing in a lot of ways. As someone who grew up in North Indiana, Maryland has always felt 'not quite north, but not quite south.' It is the Cincinnati of states.

Having lived in the area, I learned that Cincinnati was more like Atlanta than Columbus or Indianapolis. That's an accurate read as well. But the northern most burb of Atlanta. So...furthest from "The South" without quite entirely leaving it.
