I think most of the people we discuss here have shot themselves in the foot. In some cases to the point of it being reported in local media. At that point, I don't think the ramblings of a low-traffic Internet message board are your biggest problem.

I’m gonna lay my money on October 30th at University of Kentucky. I feel like KMEA wants UK to be the site whenever possible. It has great options for semis that are mostly close by to the stadium. It would be the best option for our first year with an expanded finals. Louisville isn’t a bad option but I think it’ll be the back up. I doubt we use WKU or Eastern ever again. Especially with 6 bands in finals.

Well.. have you? I remember applying for several jobs a few years ago. I would see who they hired and wonder what they were thinking. Some of us claim these people as colleagues and many of us know them well enough to say what is said.

I would love to apply to any of these music jobs, just to have people on this board run my name through mud and shoot me in the foot before I even get a finger chart up....

As a current music ed major, I can say that a massive problem with the culture is that half the people that go to college for music ed do so because they loved being in high school marching band, not because they love teaching and music. Now I could go on about how this is a side affect of directors only pushing marching band, specifically the competitive aspect, but I digress. Of course, over half of those people realistically get filtered out and don’t make it to student teaching, much less a classroom. But plenty still do. And it’s becoming more and more of a problem

Harrison will need to prove they still belong under their new direction, which I don't think really produced at the previous 2 stops (and didn't stay long at either). If they come out swinging, then I'll be a believer. We have Lafayette, then NH slightly below. Then the next group is on a lower tier, and pretty much all equal (Adair, Bourbon, Anderson); then below them you would have Beechwood, maybe Murray and Russell County (who has been somewhat inconsistent the last few years), and Mad Central (until they produce at BOA regional events, this is where they are. Some of you all need to

Anyway.. Lyon county has been reposted.
