I would highly doubt seeing Norwin H.S. attending this regional because there local circuit PIMBA usually schedules the Championship’s the last Saturday in October

USBands just release a premiere for their tentative 2024 season, and all four States Championships are on this date again. Surprise! Updates: NJ States might have a possibility of having three locations. USBands will stop the "New England State Championships" and create individual states championships. So, Connecticut State will be in New Britian, CT and Massachusetts will be somewhere in Eastern Mass. which will allow RI, NH, ME, and other state in New England to compete there. Maryland/Virginia at Stevenson University, MD. Pennsylvania State will be broken up into two Saturday one on Oct. 26 (Upper Moreland HS - 2A, 3A, 5A, 3O, 4O) and Oct. 19 (Downingtown West - 1A, 2O, 4A, 5O) which is on BOA Delaware so we could see Unionville and some others not come to DE. usbands.org/news/article.php?ID=121 |

Just what USBands needed: more events! With the exception of 2015, every NYSFBC championship dating back to at least 2000 has fallen on the last Sunday of October, with some as early as the 26th/27th. With the following Sunday being 11/2, I'm guessing 10/27 is the championship date and we'll once again not be seeing any NY bands here. I'm sure we'll see more of the larger PA bands coming given the new split, but NJ attendance will once again be dicey. At least NJMBDA championships are the following week. I don't think this will interfere with the decision to attend from any of the MA bands. Wakefield doesn't compete in USBands, and KP and Dartmouth have shown they don't mind skipping USBands state championships. |

Interesting also, they've partnered with Conn-Selmer to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the company, with a competition on September 28th in Elkhart, Indiana, which I think is USBands' first foray into Indiana. usbands.org/news/article.php?ID=119 |

I passed the Conn-Selmer factory almost every workday. |

Highly HIGHLY unlikely, but DB has "TBD" written for Oct. 26th on a schedule that was handed out to parents a couple weeks ago. If its a BOA event, I think this comp is the most unlikely of the 3 for DB to go to, but you never know.

Usually, this competition doesn't have any NJMBDA show but since Yom Kippur cancels 10/12 weekend, they had to pushed everything a week forward. It's sad to see these NJ bands drop.
