23 bands who were a past Grand National Finalist at least once and 9 previous Grand National Champions (classifying MPLT as a different band from the Spirit of Central).

Looks like La Salle may have dropped since the 10/17 update, or possibly moved to the other panel since they were 49/51. The "final" schedule was updated in the director's lounge on MFA's site today and there is a (HOLD) in place of their name. They were supposed to have performed Thursday at 8:15pm.

Can confirm LaSalle has dropped - that time is being left open in case there is need to shift anything around during the day

In addition, there are 46 bands that have been a semifinalist in the past (counting all participation by Lawrence Township bands as a single entity unlike boahistorybuff's finalist count). 26 bands are making their first appearance at Grand Nationals.

Being from southwestern Ohio, I’m so excited to see all the Cincinnati and Dayton area bands this week! Excited to see Lakota West too. I dont recall them making the trip to GN in recent years or ever. I’m sure someone would know better than I would though😂

First-timers include Catawba Ridge, Grain Valley, Green Level, Moe & Gene Johnson, Robert E. Hendrickson, Southlake Carroll, and Stoneman Douglas. And of course several bands we know virtually nothing about who may just come in and surprise us all.

I’m certainly curious yet oblivious on how Lake Hamilton, Windermere, Green Level, DeSoto Central and the likes will do here. They’ve all had relatively successful seasons recently but we haven’t heard too much out of them this year either. They’re all on the semis bubble for sure, but I‘m struggling if they’d be just out or a little further behind in the 40s.

Does anyone know for sure if Marian Catholic will be in Class AA or if they slipped down to Class A? From what I can find online, looks like they may again be just into Class AA. However, that is assuming they dont have a very large 9th grade class.

Having seen all the bands, and really all the bands have cleaned it as much as they can... will predict the final 12.
No one is beating Carmel this year....(an opinion)
Carmel H.S., IN 1
Avon H.S., IN 2
Broken Arrow H.S., OK 3
William Mason H.S., OH 4
Robert E. Hendrickson H.S., TX 5 (feeling RH could jump William Mason, but not Broken Arrow) Tarpon Springs H.S., FL 6
Dobyns-Bennett H.S., TN 7 (feeling M&G could jump DB, but not Tarpon Springs) Moe & Gene Johnson H.S., TX 8
Southlake Carroll H.S., TX 9
Castle H.S., IN 10
Brownsburg H.S., IN 11
O’Fallon Township H.S., IL 12
a couple of us heading out tomorrow for all 3 days...should be a great competition, maybe not as thrilling as last year...

Hendrickson H.S., TX 5 (feeling RH could jump William Mason, but not Broken Arrow) Tarpon Springs H.S., FL 6 I dig Hendrickson's show this year, but I really don't think they are cracking top 5. I believe you will see a Texas band top 8, but I think you got the wrong one. Will be curious to see how they shape up come Saturday!

I go back and forth on how many TX bands get in... and I didn't see Prosper this year. But I am including the bands that I have seen as a consideration..over another.. when I am not sure.. I'm very happy I don't have to choose and that this forum is just a bunch of bandos postulating and flexing...

I just saw a video of MGJ from the 3rd, and while they look like they're a 7th/8th band they definitely don't really sound like it at all right now and I wouldn't be surprised if their music (ME in particular) score in particular drags them down to 10th/11th. It was their blind spot at Waco and they're going to have to do quite a lot to fix it if they want to peak into the single digits.
Prosper though looks way better than I think a lot of people are giving them credit for. I don't think I'd call them a finals lock but I'd be more surprised to have them out than in at this point.

Just checked Competition Suite. Marian is listed as AA, and according to my sources, "over by about 10 and very likely A next year."

Ummm... Fishers has beaten both Brownsburg and Castle numerous times this season, including at the Indy Super Regional. Although I can see Brownsburg getting into finals, I don't see Castle in with Fishers out.
