The four boa bands from Cary have an exhibition this week but I don't know that I'll have a chance to check it out.

Is Fort Mill ok? I haven`t really seen them participate in anything since 2018. Did the split and COVID hurt their program?

To be fair yes, Covid, director change, and school split for CR all within a 3 year period - would be a cocktail to disrupt any band program. They took 2021 v lightly
Last year we learned their current director does not wish to compete much with the other FMSD schools. This spiked quite a debate on here, (which hopefully we can avoid on this thread, but I’m not holding my breath).
At the end of the day they have their work cut out for them to get anywhere near they were pre pandemic/ split.

Any idea what finals times/schedule would be? I would imagine about a 2 hour break after prelim awards with first band around 6:30 and finals awards around 9:30

Nope.
Looking at the daily schedule, gates open at 6:30, National Anthem at 7:00, Class exhibition (if needed) at 7:15, first band at 7:30, finals competition ends at 10:30 with class exhibition (if needed.)
Awards at 10:45.

Green Level is fairly big this year at over 160 I'd guess. It will be nice to see a full size Cary Band for the first time since the school split and pandemic. Haven't seen panther Creek.

What are y'all predictions?

Post by marimba11 on Oct 10, 2023 8:37:55 GMT -6
What are y'all predictions? Sort of unchanged. The top 6 to me should be: 1. Wando 2. Byrnes 3. Catawba Ridge 4. Clover 5. Green Level 6. Nation Ford If I was betting that’s probably what I would say right at this moment. I’ve also heard rumblings of a weaker Wando, but I wouldn’t put any money on that! Byrnes also is a wildcard to me. Haven’t seen anything, but they must still be strong even with their new director. 3-6 I could kinda see going a variety of ways. Catawba has a state-of-the-art show. Clover is really trying to prove themselves, Green Level is like 10 pointing every NC band in Cary … Nation Ford feels kinda unchanged to me from last year. As for the remaining finalists, the drop-off may be somewhat steep in scoring. Potential remaining finalists probably are: Stratford, Blythewood, Lakeside, Apex Friendship, Corinth Holders, TR, Cape Fear??? Dutch Fork has been scoring relatively well recently.

Just from a highest score perspective, even though it's not really possible to compare one competition's scores to another:
1 Nation Ford 93.5 2 Clover 90.7 3 Dutch Fork 89.22 4 Lakeside 88.6 5 Northwestern 88.45 6 Stratford 88.35 7 Catawba Ridge 86.15 8 St James 85.55 9 North Myrtle Beach 85.4 10 Travelers Rest 84.15 11 Green Level 83.92 12 Apex Friendship 82.22 13 Blythewood 81.42 14 Corinth Holders 79.75 15 Carteret 79.5 16 Socastee 77.62 17 Carolina Forest 75.15 18 South Johnson 72.23
No scores yet from Wando, Byrnes, Jack Britt, South Brunswick or Cape Fear.
side note, NC has raw score total and adjusted score total(raw score/half+50), I used raw score as I felt it would compare better to SC scores... but it's just for fun.

Wish Fort Mill would show up here. We haven’t seen all three of the schools in the district at a competition together since Catawba Ridge opened in 2019. Although I understand that it’s definitely a cost issue with their trip to Utah

Also hoping weather clears a bit, either way I think there will be some rain.
Fort Mill should attend yes absolutely. They also just had their first competition last week so they are off to a late start compared to everyone else. Perhaps because of their large incoming class.
If they’re avoiding competition they could at least go to Johnson City.

Green Level will obviously be comfortably in finals in this crowd. For the rest of the NC bands, Friendship, Corinth and Carteret are all likely to battle to slip into the finals and I wouldn't expect them all to do it.
Green Level is usually a supremely talented musical group, for them it will come down to show design and visual execution in terms of their ceiling.

Really was pretty impressed considering their jump up in size with all their new members. They are flying under the radar this season for the most part but should safely make finals in Utah and have the potential to push even higher IMO.
