I was just thinking that myself. Also sorely missing Homestead (IN) today as well. How come they aren’t there? Lafayette switched to a USBands Event & Homestead is focusing on Semi-State.

I was just thinking that myself. Also sorely missing Homestead (IN) today as well. How come they aren’t there? ISSMA semi state is today, and Homestead did not ask for an exception to the draw to do both events. Bands expecting/hoping to be in the SR finals tonight were slotted to perform at Ben Davis in the first half of the afternoon (except Elkhart).

I haven't been able to catch any of Prelims, unfortunately - it sounds like this was an exceptionally strong Indy Super Regional! I've been perusing the blog & forums the last two days when I could, and this is what I am ascertaining, crowdsourcing info from everyone's posts:
The 7 pre-assumed locks (Avon, Carmel, WM, Bburg, Fishers, Castle, OFT) seem to be locks as expected. Sounds like most everyone agrees that L-W, Lincoln, & Union round at 10 locks for tonight. Seems like most everyone has Bixby, Yukon, & Lakota West as upper bubble, but seemingly too stacked of a contest to call them locks. I've gathered that Centerville, Center Grove, Grain Valley, Southmoore, & Choctaw will be fighting for 1, maybe 2, finalist spots amongst the 5 of them. Sounds like other bands that will score well are Deer Creek, MPLT, Westfield, Noblesville, Kettering Fairmont, Beavercreek, Decatur Central, Ben Davis, Edgewood, Jasper, Columbus, Warren Central, & Decatur Central. Sound accurate to everyone?
Based on that info, AAA & A seem to be easy sweeps for Castle & Edgewood, with Bixby & Lincoln almost assuredly rounding out the placements in AAA, although in what order will be interesting. I am interested to see who of Western/Forest Park/Lewis Cass/Fairfield rounds out the placements in A.
Sounds like AA will be more of a battle than anticipated (I assumed going into the regional that GV would sweep); the top of that class will be exciting. Also interested to see who grabs 3rd. AAAA sounds like a terrific mashup of Mason/Avon/Carmel. Looking forward to awards!

It's going to be a wild ride tonight! Oh, and if I did miss someone obvious, please let me know and I can adjust lol. Like I sad, very tired heh

Great job by all the bands so far!!! This is an "out there" question, but I'm volunteering at finals tonight... has anyone ever volunteered for BOA? I think we get a t-shirt to wear, and that's cool. But do we change and lock up our belongings? For some reason I have this feeling I'm going to be stuck in the battery warm up with my walk in shirt and jacket in a pile on the floor! (I know, random!) you can bring a clear bag to put your stuff in, or wear a long sleeve shirt and put the T over. It has been running a tad warm in here though. You’ll keep your belongings with you… just a bump here for OP
