The Stig

As we all know this season is almost not going to happen. At this time (which is subject to change) there are only a few competitions to be had that haven't cancelled or done so publicly. It also appears that the band is marching on in many locations. This thread's intent is to showcase the exhibition shows that will be performed this fall. With that in mind, please share shows and videos of such.

As of 8-2-2020, Only only 16 contests have either decided to keep planning or not have an announcement for a contest. An update will be available tomorrow--8-4-2020.

I would honestly advise against it. The pool is shallow for one. Also, if you were to host a competition, money would be lost. Honestly, are there any bands still doing something competitive? Every circuit that would be a feasible option has already closed up for the season.

No

They kind of have to. Football is a revenue sport that brings in a ton of money to the schools (supposedly).

I would put North Hardin in the same category as Ben Davis. I am not certain they'd would make finals in class A. I'd say Lafayette would be bottom 5 as well. HOWEVER, would North Hardin be a Class A band in Indiana? I doubt it. North Hardin could possibly win Class B. In the past members of this board complained about 5A on a regular basis--discussing the fairness of it. All I can really say is go look at Class A in Indiana.

Cool it with innuendo or I’m shutting this down.

Definitely not a bad idea. How many opportunities do many students have to play in such ensembles? Such a great opportunity for these kids to learn more about their instruments.

As of right now, nothing has been said. Tennessee is still in phase 2 and the Murfreesboro area has been hit real hard with Covid.

Competitive marching band season canceled in Indiana There's your answer for Indiana. Running list of other states.

Any word on any other circuits?

No!!
