Tarpon Springs officially confirmed for both Johnson City and Grand Nationals.
A change from earlier plans, but a very welcome surprise.
This is what threw me off. I was looking forward to seeing them. I guess we’ll see them at GN though.

Hmm. That is interesting since I had received that confirmation from them at the beginning of the season. May have run into fundraising issues perhaps? They are doing A LOT this year so would be completely understandable.

Tarpon Springs no longer attending really changes the complexion of this show now. First off we can probably safely assume that Dobyns-Bennett will not only win, but win by a significant amount. This could end up being the show with the largest margin of victory this BOA season. Also, Class AA is now much more interesting with a few bands that are likely to be in contention to come out on top.

I definitely agree that DB will no doubt come out on top, but I wouldn't be surprised if Elizabethton finished closer to DB than most people would think. They are another great band from DB's area and they are slowly on the rise. I believe they beat Kennesaw Mountain last year at WCU. In a few years they'll the next high semis contender out of TN in my opinion

I wonder if DB chose that time. Pretty nice to perform early, go home and rest and come back for finals if home is only 30 min away

I wonder if DB chose that time. Pretty nice to perform early, go home and rest and come back for finals if home is only 30 min away There are over 300 kids traveling to Johnson City by school bus. They don’t get to go home. They will be at ETSU all day with a huge gap where they will mostly practice. Letting them all go home and then come back would be a logistical nightmare. Just checking roll is an event when we travel anywhere. Imagine if one students couldn’t make it back, couldn’t find a parking spot at the school (it’s a challenge on a normal day), was late warming up, had an accident on the Interstate (it’s very fast and curvy), parents had to work….. There are also uniforms and instruments to contend with.

Yeah I wasn’t sure there were any exceptions for grand National finalists picking a performance slot at a regional… but I think no such thing exists… just made up in my head lol

This is what threw me off. I was looking forward to seeing them. I guess we’ll see them at GN though. Yeah, my understanding from those familiar with the program was that one or the other was the plan at the start of the season, but Marching Observer reached out and seemed to get confirmation that they planned on both. Who’s to say what was actually the plan at any point but now we have a clearer picture of what they’re doing

Everything on their website makes it seem like it has been scheduled for October 15 for some time. Seems odd that they would have stayed on the BOA list long enough to actually make it onto the schedule.

I think Clover would love to medal here but Park Vista and a few others could surge ahead Park Vista ran into a bit of a rough patch last year, and they're still playing a major game of catch-up with numbers. I personally don't think they'll be challenging for a medal here, but making finals will hopefully provide some motivation in an attempt to get back to where they were.

Updated predictions. I might end up modifying these slightly as more local competition results from this past weekend appear.
This show is entirely Dobyns-Bennett’s to lose. I haven’t seen Elizabethton this year, but they are being very hyped-up so I am looking forward to seeing if they meet the measure. Alpharetta and Lakeside both had fabulous showings at their respective BOA regionals last year, so I expect them to do well here. It’s also very exciting to see Lake Hamilton attend what I believe is their first non-Grand Nats BOA show ever. Park Vista is a wild card, I am also anxious to see how they fare here. Methinks there will be a lot of shuffling around in 3rd-7th.
I have a feeling after 8th place (whomever ends up claiming that spot) there will be a sizable gap in score, but there will be several great programs rounding out the bottom three or four spots of finals. Really tough to call those last few slots.
1. Dobyns-Bennett H.S., TN 2. Elizabethton H.S., TN 3. Alpharetta H.S., GA 4. Lake Hamilton H.S., AR 5. Lakeside H.S., GA 6. Park Vista H.S., FL 7. Clover H.S., SC 8. Coweta H.S., OK 9. South Jones H.S., MS 10. Mauldin H.S., SC 11. Whitewater H.S., GA 12. Archbishop Alter H.S., OH ——BUBBLE—— 13. Seymour H.S., TN 14. Enka H.S., NC 15. Station Camp H.S., TN
A — Archbishop Alter H.S., OH AA — Elizabethton H.S., TN AAA — Dobyns-Bennett H.S., TN AAAA — Park Vista H.S., FL

Lake Hamilton did attend the Atlanta super regional at least once or twice, but I think it's definitely been a few years since they've been to a non-GN show.

I just have a hard time putting Park Vista much lower than say 4th, but I haven’t seen them so I can’t judge correctly. Alpharetta has been on the ride so their medal opportunity is certainly high.

I can definitely see that. They were 3rd in my original predictions. Lake Hamilton and Lakeside both have the advantage of size on their side, but that sometimes doesn’t mean anything. I’m also thinking of the possibility that they may have lost a lot of rehearsal time due to Hurricane Ian.
