Glad to see Waukee back next year. Aside from the wind, it seemed to be a good change in venue from the UNI-Dome.
As for who attends, well that's completely up in the air. Rosemount is confirmed, and I do expect a lot more Minnesota bands next year. Lincoln will very likely be back to defend their regional title. Brandon Valley, unfortunately, has their home show that weekend so they won't be able to come. We already got 3 Illinois bands that can't attend. Perhaps we'll see bands like O'Fallon Township, Camdenton, Grain Valley, & Millard West, but it's going to depend on if Golden Regiment Invitational falls on this weekend.
Hopefully, we'll see more Iowa representation. MOC Floyd-Valley was a great addition last year but I think if Pella attends next year, they could easily sweep through Class A.

There may also be a Kansas powerhouse attending that will challenge both those A groups.

Hoping to see Rock Island again this year! Their show last season was super unique and innovative. I love watching groups play around with what you can do with a smaller ensemble.

Now all we need is Pella to join in on the fun. If the rumors about Marian Catholic going down to 1A next year are true and they decide to come to Iowa though... Official IHSA enrollment for 2023-2025 has been posted at 878.5, which is the average enrollment for 2021 and 2022 as reported to the Illinois State Board of Education. For comparison's sake the 2021-2023 enrollment was 967. Smallest school competing in Illinois is Broadlands Heritage at 121.5 students; the largest (outside of the Lincoln-Way and Normal combinations) is Waukegan at 4,396.61.

So unless there's an outrageously large freshman class, they're just barely in AA?

Figures from ISBE from 2020 and 2021; haven't found 2022: 2020-2021: 902 2021-2022: 855

Golden Regiment Invitational has been confirmed to be on this date. Still too early to tell, but I have to imagine we'll likely see little to no Missouri bands attending this regional, especially the ones from the KC area (Blue Springs, Blue Springs South, Grain Valley, etc.)
