Who won 4A was irrelevant to me. CR cemented their strong position as a top dog at Conway, that’s all I need to be convinced of their stature. I do think the panels SCBDA gets are not as comprehensive as BOA panels. But I think that is somewhat minor than many make it out to be. I do overall think CR is the stronger better program dispite whatever 4A results suggest. But TL is rightful winner no question Thats a quite interesting take. Because on the UT regional thread you were basing Fort Mill's projected placing on them besting River Bluff at an NC Marching contest. Are the NC panels somehow more indicative of BOA success than the SC judging panels? Also, I find interesting you are backing away from your early implying that TL Hanna only bested Catawba because of who is on the TL Hanna staff and the judging panel. Methinks you are trying to have it both ways. Either TL Hanna is the rightful winner OR they won because of The SC judging panel and TL Hanna connection thus they were not the rightful winner. No third choice here Same with Fort Mill, either SC/NC competitions are indicative of BOA success or they are not. Sent you a PM.

West Broward certainly brought some attitude with that show! Maybe not the cleanest “shave,” but very entertaining! Looking forward to seeing this one under the lights tonight.

WOW! Congratulations South Jones on your first BOA regional title. The last time a band from Mississippi won a BOA regional was way back in 1987.
Mississippi regional champs:
1983 - Pearl 1985 - Grenada 1986 - Pearl 1987 - Pearl 2023 - South Jones

Wow super close at the top!! Id love to know what people’s thoughts are if anyone was there Was lucky to attend this event. There were, in my opinion, three bands that stood out and they took the top three spots. I would have had a different order, but there is no need to get into any of that. South Jones was terrific, and a huge congratulations to them on their first regional win! Kennesaw also did very well and showed great improvement over their earlier runs this season. Catawba Ridge. I just loved it. I think for me, it is so refreshing to see something different. Their show had SO much energy and life, and not in a cheap way. They sound great, and they really shine when they attack the music. No doubt they’ll continue to mature next year. They probably wish these past two weeks ended a little better, but their time is coming. They’re leveling up quickly. Nice job by the Troy hosts as well. It was a very well run event!
