Many places around the country are having those activity's for the kids along with school in session since mid or sometimes early august. Eventually the public are realizing where the high risk is at and what types of preventive actions they can take.

Glad we left MA when we did. Those restrictions are ridiculous. So, there's no football, soccer, or cross country going on currently?

I think he must be in between laughs.

Majorette @2:00 & 4:00 -- but you need to watch his entire routine. He's incredibly funny. Big Pookie @2:30!

Getting personal is never the way to go.

Although not a ton of competitive bands out there, Hawaii has several strong bands as well.

Stupidity often has few boundaries.

Didn't know Alabama had a band! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkPbF846Yjk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVP4CRKvOy8

PA, NJ, DE and NY have many very good bands, but few do national circuits like BOA, but stick to more regional circuits. Also because many of the bands are not the size of the big BOA powerhouses, they get overlooked.

Just a thought to consider. Texas has what's called the "8 hour rule" which limits the amount of rehearsals you can have outside of the school to 8hrs for the calendar week. Monday-Sunday, 8 hours TOTAL rehearsal time allowed outside of the school day. Groups like Marcus, LD Bell, Duncanville, Westfield, Spring, Vandegrift, Reagan, Leander, Cedar Park, Johnson, Churchill (I'm just trying to think of the groups that have attended and placed well at BOA Grand Nationals in the past). These groups have done what they've done in significantly less time than the groups they are competing against nationwide. IMO, if BOA ever decided to move Grand Nationals to Dallas, San Antonio or Houston, we would see a SIGNIFICANTLY different finals line up and several groups that are perennial finalists would be done on Friday. The actual Grand Nationals takes place in San Antonio the week before.It's an amazing line up of bands.

Thank you Jeff. Your title should be "DCP Whisperer" which is sort of like Ghost Whisperer or Horse Whisperer but attune to what is actually being said on here.
