Hello, everybody! It is time for the Bands of America Grand Nationals competition! ~90 bands from around the country come together for three days of great performances culminating in one band taking home The Eagle.

GN started yesterday (thursday) with the first flight of prelims and will continue today (friday) with the second flight of prelims. Saturday will have both the Semis and Finals.

We won't be covering prelims itself, but we will post the announcement of bands advancing to semis live. For Semis and Finals we will likely only have short updates during breaks or after seeing something exceptional in addition to all of the results, of course.
