They bid so high it has been impossible for any other school to have a chance so they have all stopped trying. Also lets be so real here... Daren Davis has many many connections and absolutely uses them. I mean come on, Nola Jones is the chief judge... as well as the biggest Broken Arrow fangirl. Not quite sure what Nola Jones has to do with OBA's location. If that's the case, maybe Union should use their Wayne Downey "connection" and get him to increase the bid. She doesn't have anything to do with the location, but she does have a say in what judges are hired for the panel.

Where at all did you find that BA bids so high? Daren Davis does have connections but if directors in the bandmasters association suspected foul play I assure you something would have happened by now. Some of this seems like rumors spread to discredit a program. Bidding "high" in this case does not just mean money, there is more that goes into these bids than finances, an example is the volunteers you are able to provide. In the end it's kind of up to what will bring in the most money for OBA because that still matters. Also no rumors to discredit anyone here, but saying that BA is the only group that bids for OBA or puts in any efforts at all is what totally discredits all other groups and organizations who have actually continued to put in thought and effort into this matter but are completely over looked. I have no problem with OBA being hosted at Broken Arrow, I think it's great and their band program is obviously phenomenal, but it just doesn't stop there.

Oklahoma marching season is pretty much officially over since no groups are attending Grand Nats this year, and WOW what a season it has been. Overall, such a year of growth and boundaries pushed. I am so incredibly excited for the future of band in Oklahoma, and I think next year will probably be even more insane.
I am also happy with the increased activity on the Oklahoma thread here on HornRank. Lots of people following the Oklahoma band scene. Sometime when I have a chance, I will try to post a season in review plus a super early preview for next season. I am already looking forward to it!
Thanks to everyone on these forums for making the season so much fun, and thanks to the students for letting us nerd out about your programs! Congrats to every single student, parent, and fan!

The neutral ground is an issue with holding at high schools. Really needs to be rotated amongst the 6A bands. Schools have to bid to host. No other 6A school wants to host. There are other 6A schools that put in bids. Yukon, Owasso, Tulsa, and BA are the main ones that have at least for next year (sorry im super late to the party)

Those in charge of the English language should define a preformance as a performance that takes place before something. Like opening for a game or some event, or another performance. Also ik this opinion of mine is very stupid XD
Also I know no specific group of people are in charge of the English language
