The Hornrank forums has the most accurate up-to-date list of performing groups at Grand Nationals next season. In terms of Texas groups going, the only confirmed schools so far are Coppell, Reagan, Round Rock, & The Woodlands.

Sounds like Coppell is making the trip to Indy next year. Heard it was announced at the 25th anniversary celebration of their 1999 4A State Championship. As for other Texas groups I've heard that are rumored to be attending. Marcus - 2025 is a rotation year for Marcus. Highly expect them to be in attendance. Flower Mound - Again, 2025 is a rotation year for Flower Mound. I'm a bit more skeptical on them attending since they're performing at the Macy's Parade next week. Claudia Taylor Johnson - Would be a Grand Nats year for them based on the current rotation. However, considering Lipman's departure & CTJ's recent struggles, I wonder of they might put a pause on attending Grand Nats. Vandegrift - Again, I've only heard rumors but nothing concrete. If they were to attend, they would easily be in contention for the eagle. Timber Creek - I've also heard rumors about these guys attending. Would easily be a semifinalist if they were to attend

Looks like for the first time since 2019, there will be an out-of-state band attending San Antonio this year. Organ Mountain H.S. (NM) will be attending San Antonio this year.

Once again, a little bit late to this, but a third non-Texas band has been confirmed for this regional. Mustang (OK) will be attending this regional. This is the 2nd year in a row that Mustang will be attending a regional in Texas, following their 2nd place finish at Midland last year. Like with Jenks, Mustang will also be attending Grand Nationals later in the season.

McNeil H.S. from Austin is confirmed to be attending St. Louis.

Well, if their calendar holds true, Vista Ridge will be returning to Grand Nationals this fall. EDIT: Never mind.
