321- Snowmageddon!

We catch up on what we have been doing this semester, including sledding during the snow/ice storm that shut down school for 2 weeks!  We also talk about indoor drumline and All West Honor Band.  Then we start talking about field show reveals for Drum Corps.  Yes, it's never to early to stalk bands for field show reveals!  

We give just one more look back at the 2025 season and discuss what makes a successful season.  Then we share our Santa Wish lists that include everything band related.  What would be on your Band Christmas Wish List?

We give out awards to the best, most fun, most improved, and many others to show our appreciation for all hard work, creative shows, and fantastic players that we see every week from the marching bands in West Tennessee!  Who was the best band in West Tennessee?  The most fun?  What was the best moment of the year?  Find out the answer to these and more as we celebrate this awesome activity!

We recap the BOA Grand Nationals Finals, the official end of the national high school marching season.  How did everyone place, and do we agree with the placements?  How did the Tennessee Bands do?  It was an exciting event as the best bands in the country went head to head in Indianapolis!

We preview the excitement leading up to the BOA Grand Nationals in Indianapolis, what we consider the official end of marching season!  We cheer on the Tennessee bands, talk about who might win this year, and discuss potential reasons why some of the top bands don't attend the Grand Nationals sometimes.    

We go over the results of the Division I and Division II State Championships as well as the Bandmasters Championships at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.  We also talk about how the rain and cold affected our performance and our experience on the last marching day of the year.   As a bonus we brag about the band family in Texas that came together when Vandegrift's equipment trailer got hit by a train on the way to their state championships and how the other bands helped them out!

Wow!  There are so many competitions happening!  It's great!   We recap the Crockett County Marching Invitational, the Choctaw Classic, Contest of Champions and take a quick look at the results from the BOA Indianapolis Super Regional.   Then we preview Championship weekend - The Division I and II State Championships and the Bandmasters Championship at the Liberty Bowl.  What a whirlwind to end the season!  Good luck everyone!!!!

We are in the middle of the competitions season with multiple competitions happening in West Tennessee and across the nation.  We try to keep up by recapping the Gibson County Marching Invitational, the Bethel University Renaissance Marching Invitational, and BOA Regionals across the Nation.  Then we look ahead at this weekend's equally busy slate of competitions!   It is exhausting and exhilarating at the same time - Welcome to Band-tober!

We are back from Fall Break!  We recap not only the Huntingdon Invitational, but also the BOA Memphis and BOA Chattanooga Regionals.  Then we preview the Gibson County Marching Invitational and try to pick the favorites from each class.   We also realized after the recording that we missed previewing the Bethel University Competition this weekend.  Sorry we missed it!  We will make sure that we recap that competition in our next episode.

In this episode we do a recap of the Union City Invitational and the Championships at Bartlett Station.  Then we do an in depth preview of the Huntingdon Marching Invitational, which is happening this weekend with 19 bands!  We also go ahead and do a quick preview of which Tennessee bands will be at the BOA Memphis and Chattanooga Regionals because we will not be here next week because of Fall Break. It's October!  It's the most exciting part of Marching Season!  Good Luck to everyone wherever you may be going the next few weeks!
