This week, the GErMs break down another huge weekend across the marching band landscape. Vandegrift returns to BOA competition one week after losing to Vista Ridge, while Broken Arrow and Blue Springs face off in a heavyweight matchup at the St. Louis Super Regional. Southlake Carroll reaches a new milestone in Memphis, and Vista Murrieta makes its case out west.
But in Texas, the conversation has changed. UIL Area competition is underway, where rankings become cutoffs, a single ordinal can change a season, and getting to State sometimes means making exactly the right move at exactly the right time.
We'll dig into who survived, who moved, and what the results tell us as the road to San Antonio gets considerably narrower.
Plus, we'll check the latest Team Texas: Hold 'Em, take the temperature with Hattie's Heat Index, unveil the newest National Rankings, talk a little sports in Stick to Band, and put the GErMs through another Chair Test.
BOA is building toward Grand Nationals. UIL is building toward State. And from here on out, every weekend sends somebody home.
