Avon (IN) Marching Band 2021

[bret]

Just curious if anyone has seen Avon (IN) yet this year? No videos on You Tube (they typically don't allow them until late season). I heard they are smaller, 200'sh (usually 250 - 275). Wondering how they are looking. If memory serves me right, they haven't placed below 3rd at Nationals in at least ten years. I know the show is called "Passing the Torch."

Apologies. My first post ever. Clearly this post should not be under the "band contests / competitions" section. If anyone knows how to move my post to the proper topic, please do!

Been wondering about Avon myself! ?

Yep, was able to see them practice recently.  They look a tiny bit smaller than 2019, as do a lot of bands, but I don't think its that much difference.  Last time Avon placed below 3rd at Nationals was back in 2006 when they were 7th and I believe you are correct on the show name.  Looked like what you would expect from Avon, so this year could get interesting.    ?
