I can not find it right now, but I remember reading that Indianapolis is within a day's drive of a high percentage of the competitive band programs in the United States. Also, BOA's offices are located in Indianapolis.
You will probably enjoy this website. The music of, in my opinion, one of, if not the most innovative and captivating composers/arrangers in the activity today: Aaron Guidry.

I've never noticed that before. Interesting. The only other band I know of that doesn't march tenors is Broken Arrow (and Tarpon Springs of course.)
What are the advantages/disadvantages to not having tenors?
Why are there members that sit in the endzones for most of The Woodlands show before joining the band towards the end? I can't figure this out and I've been wondering about it since Grand Nationals.
