Bahama bowl makes most sense, as OU did Mobile Bowl last year and Montgomery Bowl the year before. I guess they could end up back in Idaho, as it's been 6 years since last trip there.

Wow, interesting! going from, what?, about 250 members for a halftime show to only 70? that sounds like more of a Varsity Band (for basketball games) kind of thing. maybe they will still do a post-game of just the classics like they do at home every game but I can't see them doing any sort of pre-game or halftime show with only 70 members.

I wonder if the university just doesn't have the money to take everyone from the band. That can't be a cheap ticket to the Bahamas.

that's possible!

Ohio uses a charter from Rickenbacher. The University only allocates 70 seats on it to 110 for bowl games they can’t bus entire band to. initially, for Idaho bowl in 2011, the University offered 80 seats. But rescinded 10 seats after taking in consideration weight of instruments. The band was able to negotiate with the University to provide commercial seats for those 10 who were told they were going instead of ripping the trip from them.
