Old Corps Guy Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) I have been trying to keep track of what states and band organizations have announced the cancellation of their season using a different thread. I though I might as well start a single location for tracking. Please respond and I will continue to update this first announcement as we learn of cancellations. I will add circuits as well if you can provide them to me.

DAvery Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I think Iowa, Mississippi, Virginia, and Louisiana are additional state systems that have cancelled so far. I heard PA cancelled, but can not find it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
