One common theme I've notice is that all of our football teams sucked. I blame the football team for making me into a band kid. Dobyns-Bennett is something like the 14th winningest high school football program in the country But yeah seems more often than not the schools with serious bands don't have so much serious football Centerville is another outlier. They have been a strong football program in Ohio Division I (the largest schools) for a long time coinciding with the strong band program.

Strong football and band programs in Indiana… Carmel (multiple state football titles) Center Grove (just ended a 30 game winning streak with 2 state titles) Ben Davis Fishers (particularly for a school that didn’t exist 20 years ago)

I went to a high school of 1200 and would sit in the parking lot for an hour trying to get out. I can’t even imagine! Maybe they have such a powerful band because the kids can’t ever leave 🤔

Maybe they have such a powerful band because the kids can’t ever leave 🤔 I think it has more to with like the half a mile, uphill trek, it takes to get to the field from the school. And no, that's not an old person joke haha. When I competed at events they had, the band (and especially the pit), were tired from the uphill march lol. Endurance training!

This is one of the reasons Camdenton doesn’t host a local comp. The entrance into the stadium is HORRENDOUS. I feel like Carmel is obligated to host one no matter what though 😅
