I say why just stop there.....I think there should be a BOTB for each conference (SWAC, SIAC, MEAC, CIAA, INDY) and the top band (or top two) from each conference should be able to attend the Honda BOTB.......then again that's just thought of mine lol......

Yeah I see what u sayin. With the economy and high gas prices etc. all of that WOULD be something hard to try and pull off. But it would be interesting to see how all the bands within each conference would match up tho....

i think an all star band battle would be better....the best players from each school in each conference....or a pep band of the best combine and have an all star battle (best of the swac vs. best of the meac)...then we could see who is the best the SWAC or the meac
i agree.......as of now i march corp style and we have somethin called DCI (Drum Corp International)....and that is the best of the best show style marchers and player across the nation...and they travel and do show and have there one big comepetition as well.....pretty good idea....i agree it should get judge....at our comps we get judge on a 1 to 5 scale.....1 bein tha best 5 bein tha worst.....most ppl strive for a 2 at least because that is excellence....but a 1 is superior.....
