I do not like this idea at all. Keep it the way it is. Bands in the tough areas know what they need to do to advance. You'll never have the same competition in any group no matter what you do. Different parts of Texas have more vigorous competition from every classification in the state. As a person who came from an extremely overly competitive area in my classification, I know that the competition around actually pushed my kids to get better which is not a bad thing for our programs! I will end at this. I have seen bands who came from "weak areas" that did quite well at State Marching Contest and beat a lot of bands from those "strong areas."
