Tarpon Springs officially confirmed for both Johnson City and Grand Nationals.
A change from earlier plans, but a very welcome surprise.

Wait, that’s a surprise? I feel like we’ve known about this for a while. And the participant lists have been out for almost a month. |

The plan was announced at the community preview to be do either Johnson City or GN. They were signed up for both in advance to secure their spots. Clearly, something happened that made them decide one way. Glad to see both trips happening. I'm thinking they're feeling pretty strong about their show this year, so we'll see. |

Ohhhh, that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying! I am excited to see what they have in store. They have quite the busy fall ahead of them! |

Indeed! Orlando, Johnson City, GN, and then Macy's. What a truly fun year! But I'd hate to see the band fees this year too haha. But that's the parents problem. 🤣 Hope they've got lots of fundraisers going.

Trust me the kids are upset, especially my senior. wow I’m so sorry to hear that! Thanks. I just feel so bad for these kids. Especially the seniors. They have only really had one solid year of marching, since last year was recovering from Covid year. The kids want a great show, my child came Home feeling defeated because of what’s going on. My child knows and loves the guard program, loves spinning, loves being on a great guard ( and marching band) and now , my child feels like there is no use to putting their heart and soul into it. |

But, hopefully next year will be better. Difficult/challenging seasons happen. No reason your band cant quickly bounce back. Look at the comebacks of William Mason after 2017 and Wando after 2015 for inspiration. |

Coweta is no longer attending per one of the band parents. Is this Coweta or East Coweta? Coweta still has it listed on their band calendar, and I know it was discussed previously that East Coweta would no longer be attending. |

I had only seen Coweta, OK and thought they were simply taking about them. That is 100% my bad. Sorry for causing confusion! I should have read more closely. 😓 |

Classification update.
Clover moves up to AAAA from AAA.
South Jones moves up to AA from A.

It definitely seems abnormal how unbalanced the classes are at this show.
A-1
AA-14
AAA-4
AAAA-3
Obviously that's just a product of what bands signed up but it seems like we don't usually see one class having so much more representation than the others at a BOA show. At least outside of Texas shows that are full of 3A and 4A bands with few bands in the smaller classes.

Post by Marching Observer on Sept 16, 2022 16:50:26 GMT -6
Same for the Columbus show tomorrow (assuming no Class change surprises).
A - 6
AA - 10
AAA - 2
AAAA - 5
It's good that these smaller groups are going to be getting some representation and have a chance to be a part of something big without getting lost in the shuffle of a Super Regional or GN. Whether that is due to financial reasons or whatever, several groups are going to get to perform twice which is quite exciting for them I'm sure.

Also, FWIW, I will also not be updating my predictions in real-time with participant updates. I will just update them a week or two before the respective contest.
