Just the last 5 years cause I only feel like thinking so much right now 2022 - #HennyTrain 2021 - MG Johnson 2019 - Leander 2018 - Blue Springs 2017 - Claudia Taylor Johnson Gotta say I was on board that Henny train, and even though I thought BA had the most passionate show of the night, Hendrickson’s energy was infectious. I wonder how far they could have climbed if they hadn’t had a large chunk of kids sick

Alrighttt this took a bit! This had me remember that although I didn't start high school this far back, I was always torrenting early-mid 00 shows because a lot of them were never on prehistoric YouTube lol good times
2002 - Lassiter 2003 - LD Bell (imo best arr. of those pieces out of the millions of bands that have performed them) 2004 - Kennesaw Mountain 2005 - Ronald Reagan 2006 - Seminole 2007 - Marian Catholic 2008 - Avon 2009 - LD Bell 2010 - Tarpon Springs 2011 - The Woodlands 2012 - Avon 2013 - Broken Arrow 2014 - Tarpon Springs 2015 - Flower Mound 2016 - Cedar Park (sorry not sorry nothings beating nightmare before christmas) 2017 - Dobyns Bennett 2018 - Ayala (honestly i've just always loved the percussion feature) 2019 - Hebron 2020 - Flower Mound 2021 - Fishers 2022 - William Mason

2022: Hebron 2021: Hebron 2019: Ronald Reagan 2018: Carmel 2017: Castle And a shoutout to Avon 2013 while I’m at it 💯. 2018: I’d have to say Flower Mound but they surprisingly dropped the ball at SA imo. Carmel’s wind book had no demand but Gaines design was arguably his best designed show. But if I had to choose a 2018 overall program it would have to be Blue Springs but Vista Ridge did outplay every program that year along with the cleanest visual. 2018 is too tough for me to call…. Spring 93 Lassiter 2002 Avon 2010 Broken Arrow 11 Tarpon 12 Woodlands 2013 Flower Mound 2016 CTJ 2017 Flo-Mo 2018-Vista Ridge Co-Champs Reagan 2019 and Hebron 2021 and 2022.

Le me try to do this (picking just one is really really tough). I will stick to Grand National Finalists because for me those are the shows that I have watched the most and have a better memory of.
1980 - Flushing MI (yes I am biased here) 1981 - Rocky Mount NC 1982 - Danville KY 1983 - Ben Davis IN 1984 - Chesterton IN 1985 - West Genesee NY 1986 - Rocky Mount NC 1987 - West Genesee NY 1988 - George Rogers Clark KY 1989 - Marian Catholic IL 1990 - Westfield TX 1991 - Lake Park IL 1992 - Centerville OH 1993 - Spring TX 1994 - Westerville South OH 1995 - Westfield TX 1996 - Pomona CO 1997 - Center Grove IN 1998 - Lassiter GA 1999 - Plymouth-Canton MI 2000 - Marian Catholic IL 2001 - Marian Catholic IL 2002 - Lassiter GA 2003 - Ronald Reagan TX 2004 - Lafayette KY 2005 - Tarpon Springs FL 2006 - Broken Arrow OK 2007 - LD Bell TX 2008 - Avon IN 2009 - LD Bell TX 2010 - Broken Arrow OK 2011 - Marian Catholic IL 2012 - Broken Arrow OK 2013 - The Woodlands TX 2014 - Tarpon Springs FL 2015 - Hebron TX 2016 - Carmel IN 2017 - Marcus TX 2018 - Blue Springs MO 2019 - Claudia Taylor Johnson TX 2021 - Broken Arrow OK 2022 - Avon IN
I knew I could not just list one, so here are my second place choices 1980 - JM Tate FL 1981 - Danville KY 1982 - Ben Davis IN 1983 - Rocky Mount NC 1984 - Centerville OH 1985 - Westfield TX 1986 - Union OK 1987 - Cicero North Syracuse NY 1988 - Centerville OH 1989 - Norwin PA 1990 - Lake Park IL 1991 - Duncanville TX 1992 - Plymouth Canton MI 1993 - Lake Park IL 1994 - Kiski Area PA 1995 - Center Grove IN 1996 - Lawrence Central IN 1997 - Marian Catholic IL 1998 - Centerville OH 1999 - Center Grove IN 2000 - Union OK 2001 - Lawrence Central IN 2002 - Marian Catholic IL 2003 - Kiski Area PA 2004 - Centerville OH 2005 - Carmel IN 2006 - LD Bell TX 2007 - The Woodlands TX 2008 - Ben Davis IN 2009 - Avon IN 2010 - Tarpon Springs FL 2011 - Broken Arrow OK 2012 - Carmel IN 2013 - Harrison GA 2014 - Broken Arrow OK 2015 - Avon IN 2016 - Cedar Park TX 2017 - Broken Arrow OK 2018 - Jenks OK 2019 - Leander TX 2021 - The Woodlands TX 2022 - William Mason OH

U liked Ayala 2016? Being curious btw 2016 was a weird year from my perspective! I liked almost none of the shows at GN, especially the top bands. If I had to choose one from 2016 grand nationals it would have been DB or Leander. From the Texas contingent I liked Keller and Hebron. Flower Mound was the best band I’d say, but not my fav show from them by a lot. My parents were at a conference/rewards trip in SoCal and I got to come along bc of fall break at college. So I was actually fortunate enough to see Ayala in 2016 at mission viejo WBA. I was absolutely blown away by them though! Individual playing and visual was amazing, and I was in front ensemble and their percussion is obviously just chefs kiss amazing. Yes shattered probably wasn’t as good as their 2015 show, but my test in picking these shows was “am/was I obsessed with it” and “do I like the entire thing from start to finish,” and Shattered was the one for me!

Ok I understand. I had the same experience with another band in 2016. Also, I agree 2016 had a LOT of shows that weren't personally my favorite at GN, and I see we both like the same bands. Cool.
