Wow, this is early this year!
Can Jenison 3-peat?(assuming they attend)
Will Rockford finally get their 1st regional title (once again, assuming they attend)
Any big names that will attend with it being so early?
I guess we will see as the confirmed list grows!

Some bands I’d like to see go are Homestead,and Rockford.
Homestead didn’t go this year which was surprising to me as last year they did so well In fact now that I think about it, they didn’t really do much this season anyway other than grand nats… as for Rockford I just like to see them. They have neat shows and I hardly ever get to see them.

While I am glad to see this being held at the Glass Bowl again, I really wish this competition was a little later in the season. While regionals so early in the season can be a bit of a crap shoot, if Brownsburg attends, they will be really really hard to beat assuming bands like Carmel, Avon and William Mason are not attending.

Brownsburg does have a competition marked on that day on their calendar but it says tbd… it’s on a Saturday though so there’s lots of competitions on those days. Who knows last year that second Saturday they hosted an invitational instead of going to one if I remember correctly. |

They haven't necessarily gone to Toldeo every year even before 2023. And with a new director making the calls, who knows? (One assumes that last year's schedule was determined prior to the new director coming aboard.) |

Don’t know if they will attend this year or not. |

I hope the're able to attend next season. I think an early season regional would be good feedback for them, compared with some of their other regular early season outings. |

This past season was all kinds of messed up, being a week shorter because of FFA. Things didn’t line up well. They are hosting their fall festival again this coming season after a year off. |

Will definitely see a different group of bands attending this regional than normal. Something tells me that having this so early will drive a lot of regulars (who prefer extra time to clean) to other competitions taking place later in month… could possibly see them rerouting to Obetz or Louisville (assuming Louisville is a week or two later).

I think the exception will be the Michigan bands, especially those planning on attending Grand Nationals. Toledo is a day trip for the Michigan bands, whereas most other regionals are not. I suppose for the metro Detroit bands, Obetz is a possible day trip, but definitely a late night. That is why us Michiganders have typically not liked this regional being so dang early. For most Michigan bands it is the most cost effective of the BOA regionals. |

Things are heating up! Agreed on Miamisburg not being at Obetz. It must be homecoming weekend for them. Additionally, they typically only do one BOA regional before Grand Nationals. |

From what I know, Obetz and/or Louisville are more likely, with the possibility of a Super, before Grand Nationals. |

From what I know, Obetz and/or Louisville are more likely, with the possibility of a Super, before Grand Nationals. what’s most likely is they will sign up for all three, a super, and grand nats. Depending on the preformance times given at first they will drop certain competitions, obviously keeping grand nats. |

They'd normally do Waukee, but that's homecoming weekend, State is Indy weekend, St. Louis is all-state auditions weekend, and Nationals are the same weekend as State Thespian. |

So they really are going to Cedar Point after all! Low-key, Cedar Point is worth a trip for any adrenaline junkie. |
