Wow. So NOBODY from out of state is going to give this a try this year? How very disappointing. Well… that we know of. Typically, the news has made it out by now.

Hays H.S., TX - (USBands Austin Finale) James Madison H.S., TX - (USBands San Antonio Finale) Source: USBands Attendance list is US Bands picking up steam or what? No. US Bands (nee USSBA, formerly owned by the Cadets, now a product of the Blue Devils) has been around since 1988. 100+ shows around the country, primarily on the East Coast, trying to get into Texas (including a show at AT&T Stadium in 2022.) They classify based on band size, and then on skill level in that grouping. So, Open Class and A Class each has 5 champions at the National Championships. Recaps seem to be almost non-existent. I'm fairly sure it's cheaper than BOA events, as if you sign up for an annual membership, you're allowed in unlimited local competitions. The following is based on a 2019 Participant Guide that I stumbled across: -7 judge panel - Music Performance Individual, Music Performance Ensemble, Visual Performance, Overall Effect Visual, Overall Effect Music, Percussion (caption award only), Color Guard (caption award only) Sheets are located here: usbands.org/sheets/As of right now the Austin Finale has 8 bands signed up, Houston has 13, and San Antonio has 7. Also, Jack C. Hays & Dripping Springs both still have San Antonio listed on their calendar on Friday. In addition: CONFIRMED:W. Charles Akins, TX

All I’ve ever really heard about US Bands is that it’s truly terrible in Dallas inside the AA Center.

I wish the AT&T Stadium was a more viable venue since I now only live 10-15 min away from it. Beats driving 4 hours to SA every year.
