Vanguard Cadets: "On Cloud Nine"

This is them:

If the MiM shows are the same as the shows listed on USBands site as "The Marching Band Series powered by USBands," here's where the shows are so far: -October 11th: Texas - this show will compete with a BOA regional in Conroe. -November 1: Annapolis, MD I also saw a show listed on their site for the Midwest on October 25th-no site given, but this may be a terrible idea as there's a BOA Super Regional that weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium, and I can probably count on one hand the amount of Midwestern bands that have participated in a USBands show.

According to the BOA restricted composition list, the ban hasn't been lifted. http://www.musicforall.org/resources/copyright/restricted-compositions#RestrictedVideo

Coin flip, yes.

I just checked my account. You're not the only one.

10 99's and 1 100 on the recap. It's still Thursday, right?

They say the shows are in the bundle though...who knows?
