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.

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.

On Monday, the Music For All forums will be shut down. The official statement from DaveAdmin: "In keeping with our mission and goals to best serve students, parents, teachers, and supporters, the forums will be closed and deactivated as of 12 noon Monday, March 4, 2019. We are announcing the closing of the forums in advance in order to give our users the opportunity to connect with each other in the remaining time. The forums were created as a place for fans to connect, at a time before there were places to connect online like social media, etc. Since its beginnings, we have appreciated our forum users and your passion and enthusiasm for Bands of America, Music for All, and the hundreds of thousands of student performers at our events. Friendships have been formed via the forums that continue to this day, both online and in “real life.” Thank you for being part of our community and we hope you’ll continue to connect with us through our other online channels. The forums have far outlived their expected lifespan and intention. With our ever-growing programs and online presence, Music for All is no longer able to maintain and monitor the forums to our standards. Music for All will focus on maintaining the social media connect points that are most active today and consider ways to improve that experience on those channels."

Westwood will also be attending.

Unfortunately, it looks like Westwood will not be attending St. Louis as their current calendar has them listed for UIL Region that weekend. They will be competing at Austin, Katy, and San Antonio.
