Flower Mound and Marcus both were never coming. I just didn't want someone on my behind for suggesting they are not coming.

Anyone hear what's going on with Union? 2021 obviously wasn't their year but I'm interested to see if the program continues to peter out or is able to rebound.

What about DB? Their calendar is somewhat conflicting still, maybe this was addressed and I missed...

Confirmed: Penn-Trafford H.S., PA - ( BOA Grand Nationals) Source: Band Calendar Last Time: Beating Gateway Sr. H.S. in Music Performance and getting 2nd place in class 2A, but 7th place overall at the 2011 North Huntington Regional Championships That's quite a leap for them. Going from a 10 year absence in BOA to going right into GN. Wishing them the best of luck and a great experience. Hopefully they'll continue doing BOA even if it is at a regional level competition. Those always can use more bands.

My assumption is the late announcement caused some sticker shock. Announcing a trip earlier in the year, at least internally, would have eased that burden. For one, I’m certain that plane and bus reservations right now are heads and shoulders above what they would have been in December or January. And second, parents would have only had four or five months to make payments instead of perhaps nine, ten, or eleven months. Thus, each payment is larger and can be a bit more overwhelming. Even for an area of a suburb as well off as the Seven Lakes catchment area.
Announce your trips early!!

Financially, dropping the two Texas events would not make a significant impact on being able to afford a trip to Grand Nationals. Competitively, for both BOA and UIL, dropping those events would have a negative effect.

We FINALLY have more than just a small handful of AAA bands at Grand Nationals this year. I feel like this is the most even class spread in a long time.
