Wanted to have some theoretical fun, so here we go!
Saw the states in attendance for Grand Nationals this year and was thinking about representation. So, let's say you are a very generous billionaire who decided to sponsor 100 bands no matter the distance and cover 100% of the costs of show production as well as traveling to Grand Nationals for fair competition. What 100 bands would you, a band nerd billionaire, choose for an ideal perfect competition?
Rules;
- No more than 10 bands for a state.
- Represent as many states as possible.
- Can be the top scorer(s) of said state or just who you want to see attend.
- All state level rules are lifted (ex. Texas wouldn't have timed rehearsal restrictions).

I know next to nothing about CT and MD bands so I just went with the picks from those above me xD OH! lol. I get it. Ok I just wanted to know if u picked them for their classification or their size or history or random reasons. Well East Haven is an amazing small band. It was a great choice. |

Wasn't in band, but I checked them out at the time when my friend sent me a video. Mountain Ridge is a band I've seen in person, I've also seen Urbana so it could've been either, but the list was hard to make so Urbana didn't make the cut on mine lol |
