Is this not in UNI anymore?

Is this not in UNI anymore? It still could be. We just don’t know yet. That said, I’m definitely holding out for a venue with better acoustics.

Rosemount could be either way on this one. The last weekend of September is usually when they hold their home show, but if I recall they moved it in 2019 so they could do the Regional. We'll just have to see.
I do believe this regional will have better attendance in 2022 than 2021. This date is a lot more friendly for bands than 2021 was.

Morton is unlikely to attend this year as this will most likely be when their invitational is.

Not being on the same day as YIM, there's high likelihood that Lincoln SD, Brandon Valley SD, Rosemount, Eastview, Eden Prairie, to name a few, would be here.

Really hoping to see Papillion La Vista South again! Maybe this year someone will be able to tell me who their designer is 😅
I’m on the fence if whether Camdenton will show up here or the new Kentucky regional. In the past, they would attend a different early season every year- but I would be surprised to not see them back here again in 2022 to defend their medal status.

Regarding some midwest bands:
Lincoln: Will probably show up here.
Rosemount: Depends on when their home festival is.
Brandon Valley: Home show weekend. Won't attend Iowa.
Eden Prairie: Will probably show up. Were scheduled to come in 2020 before the season was cancelled.
Blue Springs/Other Kansas City area bands: It's going to depend on when GRI is scheduled.
Eastview: Will probably come as well. Would've made in finals in 2019 with the current 12 band finals format.

That was a VERY Cartwright show, so I’m not surprised in the slightest to hear that. The style of flagwork is always such a dead giveaway. I hope to see more out of them in the future!

A survey was sent out to the directors of prospective and past Iowa regional attendees asking about venue preferences. They were asked to choose between the UNI Dome and Waukee Northwest High School and share their pros and cons for each venue. Apparently very few are signed up currently, which is unsurprising, given the acoustics are likely a major turn-off.

I’m honestly not sure. They must be if Music for All is considering them as a host site.

Des Moines Register said in August 2021 that the football stadium seats 2,000.

Nice to see Kickapoo going! They’re easily a finals contender here (provided this isn’t a repeat of 2021 and everyone is). I’m hoping we see Blue Springs and Nixa again as well.

I would imagine Northwest HS would be performing at this regional since they are the host. It's possible they won't, but I don't see that happening.
