Should we really be listing every competing band in BOA? That's a little much.

[edit]  !st BOA Grand National Champs

http://www.bands.org/public/businessmedia/boa_info/history.asp

The First Grand National Championship was held in 1980, not 1984 and the school that won was J.M. Tate High School in Gonzalez (sometimes said to be in Pensacola) Florida. The first championship though was in 1976 and I'm not sure who won.

[edit] Information

I was just wondering where the source is for the champions. I could not find a list of champions on Bands of America's website. Hikiaroo 14:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some extra info

I'm not sure of the context of this information -- it seemed out of place in the article -- so I'll leave it here for someone to possibly incorporate later.

In March of 2007, for the first time in Bands of America history, two middle school bands also competed: Rising Starr Middle School Symphonic Band from Fayetteville, GA (with director Steven Tyndall), and Bailey Middle School Wind Ensemble from Austin, TX (with director Bill Haehnel). They performed in the Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis, Indiana. Muscle Shoals High School also competes at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. They have made 4 consecutive class champion awards as of 2006.
