I don’t think Leander has a set rotation they just show up whenever.

Robert (Selaiden) posted last year on the LHS band parent page specifically to address this and he said there is no rotation for Leander, it just worked out that they went in both ‘16 and ‘19. I have not heard of any future plans for Leander just yet but obviously I would love to see them return!

Going to throw out one name that should consider making the trip: Edgewood, IN. I know they've been electing to pass it on over the years, but I think they'd be a definite pick for Class A rep in semis and have a legitimate shot at the Class A title. They've put out three solid years of shows that make me think this will remain consistent enough to put a quality show out again, not to mention this will be the senior class that won them their first state championship in 2019.

I have a feeling that may or may not be more than a feeling that a band known for their rotation, scheduled to be on an off year, may be in Tarpon Springs perhaps?

I have a feeling that may or may not be more than a feeling that a band known for their rotation, scheduled to be on an off year, may be in Camdenton? They haven't been since 2018 and use to go on the even years. And I think you have some connection to them? that would explain how you would know something.

It isn’t Camdenton that I’m referring to, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them here. The plan (or so I was told) was every other year, which obviously got thrown off by covid. They have a parade this year, so if I were to guess, the rotation will pick up again starting next season. But that’s simply a guess 🤭 I hope we see them again soon.

From what I have heard you can count out any band from the Fort Mill area attending GN next year. Catawba Ridge is going to London for the New Years Day parade, and Nation Ford and Fort Mill have both been vocal about not returning until they have a program that will make semis. Wando is likely to be the only SC representative next year, and Cleveland is likely to be the only NC rep. From what I have heard, Green Level is planning to return.

Castle will most likely not go because they take a big trip every 4 years instead of grand national. For example next year will be rose bowl in 2020 is was to Hawaii. With Indy being under a 3 hour trip, does Castle need to skip GN every 4 years to take a big trip? Can't they do a big trip & GN in the same year? Also, I know Dean established that rotation a few years back, but a) I feel like that was before they became a regular & reliable contender for GN Finals and b) was obviously prior to his retirement. Any chance the new leadership wants to keep them as regular attendees?

We've had a couple different people in the know confirm over the years that despite an apparent pattern (sitting out GN in '13, '16, & '19), BA always plans to attend yearly, only holding back attendance on years when other factors were at play (primarily director changes, if I remember right).

There is a reality where a non-competition trip has value and not hainvg to deal with the pressures of GN competition AND a trip would be nice.

Hot Take.
I've never understood the 'big trip' that all bands seem required to take. Like, how did that become a thing bands do, as opposed any other group in the school?
Hotter Take.
If you have to choose between going to Grand Nats and going on a 'big trip,' you should go to Grand Nats.

Hottest Take Every community has their own sets of norms and expectations on these kinds of things and we should be respectful of that. I’m pretty confident that every director knows what’s best for their constituents more than any of us on this board do.

I’m pretty confident that every director knows what’s best for their constituents more than any of us on this board do. Well, of course... We need a forum codeword for "I, being a rational person, completely understand that my opinion is not even remotely important compared to that of the people on the ground who know the situation, but just in the interest of making conversation I am going to throw out an opinion for discussion since it hurts nothing for us to discuss it." How about 'ocelot'? Here, I'll demonstrate: " Ocelot: I don't get why bands take big trips and if you have to pick I think should go to Grand Nats."

There will be another director change this coming year as Darrin Davis changes roles to be the Director of Fine Arts at BA and Kelli Pence takes over as head director. They were co-heads this season.

There is a reality where a non-competition trip has value and not hainvg to deal with the pressures of GN competition AND a trip would be nice. I think it's a bit up in the air. To do both would require a either a step-up in up front fees, an increase in fundraising, or both. Now with the Rose Parade, it's a question of do they do all three, only two (and which two, GN or trip), or only the parade.

Those bands should at least do 3 Regionals and GN the next year for skipping out for a big trip.
