C'mon, Dan! The website says "2023 BOA Adjudication Handbook Coming this Spring." It's still Spring for almost another full day! The solstice is at 10:57 a.m. EDT, June 21. They still have time. Since it is now summer, aka the worst season: I love the pettiness so much. 😂

I guess I’ll try to predict this. Obviously we haven’t seen anyone so this is completely based off last season/program history, and also staff changes/show design. At this point, anyone in the could be in any of these spots. I’d be surprised if most of these bands didn’t make it, but it’s going to be so competitive, can’t wait for this one!

Saw a comment on an instagram post by a Mustang student that said they were no longer attending this Regional. Mustang is still listed as participating on the BOA website, so not sure as to the validity of the comment. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I think Mustang should probably be placed a little higher and being L.D. Bell down a spot or two, but overall this feels like a well rounded take. Will be fun to see how Waxahachie performs - I’ve had my eyes on them for a while and they seem to be knocking out competition without anyone noticing. Same goes for Hendrickson. Would be great to see their program continue to grow and become a regular in the “Texas Giants” group that seems to rule to south 😆

There’s a couple bands on the boa website that are/aren’t going they are/aren’t on the list, but I wouldn’t be super shocked, but I’d be sad as I was really looking forward to seeing them here.

Exactly two months until this contest! It's time for very early predictions. Rather than going through the headache of trying to guess placements, I'm making the predictions tier-based and in alphabetical order.
Here’s all I can confidently say about this show. Keller or Wakeland will win. The fight for the bronze will be a fierce one. Twelve bands will make finals. Many bands that deserve to be in finals won’t be. I think a couple of “outer bubble” bands will surprise. Very excited for this one!
Medalist Contenders (1-6): Keller H.S., TX Wakeland H.S., TX ---------- L.D. Bell H.S., TX Prosper H.S., TX Timber Creek H.S., TX Waxahachie H.S., TX ---------- Potential Finalists (7-15): Mustang H.S., OK Robert E. Hendrickson H.S., TX Southlake Carroll H.S., TX ---------- Duncanville H.S., TX Forney H.S., TX Keller Central H.S., TX Lake Highlands H.S., TX McKinney Boyd H.S., TX Rock Hill H.S., TX ---------- Outer Bubble (16-22): Azle H.S., TX Highland Park H.S., TX Lake Ridge H.S., TX McKinney North H.S., TX Rockwall H.S., TX Sachse H.S., TX Tom Glenn H.S., TX ---------- Everyone Else (23-32): Lovejoy H.S., TX Fossil Ridge H.S., TX Walnut Grove H.S., TX ---------- Grapevine H.S., TX L.V. Berkner H.S., TX McKinney H.S, TX Midlothian H.S., TX Poteet H.S., TX ---------- Creekview H.S., TX Whitesboro H.S., TX
A: Whitesboro H.S., TX AA: Lovejoy H.S., TX AAA: Wakeland H.S., TX AAAA: Keller H.S., TX

Round about noon on the day of this event there will be a 90% solar eclispe in the area. That has to be a first for a BOA regional, right?

Don’t mind me, I’ll just be leaving the forums all season in solidarity
Just kidding, but this does make me sad! I was very excited to see them against some heavy Texas competition, but Midland will just have to do! Hopefully this is a nice off year for Mustang where they can recover financially and continue growing for an even better comeback!

Do y’all think Lovejoy having to go first will affect their chances of winning their class? They’ve got region later in the afternoon this day so I’d imagine that’s why they are going so early, but I’d imagine as long as they perform as well as they always do they should be fine. Considering how hot it’s been, I don’t think that while the kids will have to wake up early, they won’t have to perform in the Texas heat. Thoughts?

They’re on first because they signed up way past the registration cutoff. Personally, I think they’ll be fine if they have a strong early morning performance. In my opinion, the only other AA band here with the potential to win is Grapevine.

I'm just here for that Texas heat We need more light than heat. Speaking of which, as redpants mentioned a few weeks ago: Round about noon on the day of this event there will be a 90% solar eclipse in the area. That has to be a first for a BOA regional, right? An annular solar eclipse will be visible in part of the U.S., including Texas, on October 14. "Annular" means "ring-shaped": this is an eclipse where the moon is a little farther away from the earth than in a total eclipse, and thus the sun's light is not completely blocked but forms a "ring of fire." In San Antonio, the eclipse will be at its fullest, with more than 90% of the sun obscured. In Prosper, it will be seen as a partial solar eclipse with about 80% of the sun blocked. (Only about 40% of the sun's light will be obscured in South Carolina for the Conway show.) The eclipse will peak in Prosper at about 11:52 a.m. CDT. Too bad no band is scheduled to be playing at that point! Prosper will also be on the edge of the path of a total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024. That one will also be visible in Austin, Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Buffalo, among other places. If you're anywhere within a few hours' drive of the path of totality for that one, I highly recommend making the trip. A total solar eclipse is a really cool experience.

Will any of the bands at the Prosper regional be playing Johnny Cash?
