Do we expect to see Kiski ever make a return trip to Nationals? It would be awesome to get all the big hitters in AA together in one year. (Kiski, Grain Valley, etc).

Carroll H.S., TX is confirmed Really great to hear considering the success they had this season! Is this from a source at the program?

There should be a good showing among the NC bands next year. Cleveland is likely to return, along with the Cary bands unable to make the trip this year.

I wish they could be apart of it.

There were rumors a couple years ago that they would make the trip in 2020. Obviously that didn't work out, and I don't know for sure if the rumors were true, but given their improvement over the last few years I could see them trying again soon. The last time they went was 2015, earning 21st overall and 2nd in AA.

Does Jackson Academy still do BOA? I believe the last BOA event that Jackson Academy attended was the St. Louis Super Regional in 2015, where they placed 2nd in Class A and 46th out of 63 overall.

Carroll H.S., TX is confirmed Carroll's improvement over the last few years has been amazing. This school has a LOT of resources and tons of success in other sports. With continued focus on the matching arts, they could quickly become a power. They already are.

A band, not on the list already, that comes from a state with many former finalists and semifinalists (including one former finalist that up until recently was a consistent lock for finals) and isn’t Texas, Indiana, or Ohio will be attending Grand Nationals in 2022.

Lockport? My thought is either them or maybe Prospect. I'd love to see Prospect make the trip down. Have they ever attended GN before?

Prospect is a past BOA GN Finalist but would struggle to make it out of prelims. They’re closer to Lawrence Township in odds. 35-45 placement.

Lawrence Township up until this year was a very good band, we’re talking high 20’s to low 10’s in semis. I think they just had a rough COVID showing, nothing to say that a placement in the 35-45’s is “Lawrence Township Odds”

I think Lincoln-Way would have probably squeaked into semifinals this year, but whoever had them pegged as a 25th place band or so probably has it about right. Not a high ceiling, but a high floor.

That’s the neighborhood I would have figured Prospect would live. The same neighborhood as MPLT.

I think they would’ve been in finals 2018, maybe 2019. This year was just rough. I do think their ceiling is pretty high though. They’ve had some crazy amazing underrated designs the past few years and the GE is good.

I think they’ll build back up, COVID just naturally hit them very hard.

Ohhhh, yes. Can’t think of a better option. They’re going on the likely list until the identity of the mystery band is confirmed.
