It’s been INCREDIBLE seeing the growth of band in Arkansas. This thread is long overdue.

Anyone have the scoop on Van Buren and their future with BOA? They used to attend Tulsa events like Renegade Review and BAI regularly, as well as BOA. I know they recently won @ Branson and have been winning 6A state for several years, so I think they'd be pretty successful in the circuit.

So many good bands that don’t get to compete across the classifications. |

ARKANSAS STATE BAND AND ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION State Marching Contest War Memorial Stadium, Little Rock, AR Pre-Purchase ticket link here. PLEASE check that you purchase the correct day: 4A, 7A on Monday; 3A, 5A on Tuesday; 2A, 6A on Wednesday. All tickets are GA $10. Disclosure: I am providing this link and schedule as a convenience only to my fellow band parents/families and do not have any affiliation with the ASBOA or the Arkansas State Marching Contest. This information is current to the best of my knowledge as of 28 October 2023. For all event questions, please check with the ASBOA web site. Bands to Watch is just from my own observations and opinions from the marching season and should not be construed as any sort of prediction. These are merely bands that I look forward to seeing either because I've enjoyed them in the past or I've heard from parents of other schools that this is a show to pay attention to. YMMV. Thank you for your understanding. Others have posted the full schedule in this thread, so I will not include that in mine. MONDAY 30 OCT Class 4A Bands to watch: Fountain Lake, Arkadelphia, Pottsville, Ozark Class 7A Bands to watch: Bentonville West, Bentonville, Fayetteville, Cabot, Bryant TUESDAY 31 OCT 2023 Class 3A Bands to watch: Centerpoint, Bismarck, Shiloh 1:15 PM Judges’ Break Class 5A Bands to watch: Hot Springs, Lakeside, Maumelle, Brookland, Paragould WEDNESDAY 1 NOV 2023 Class 2A Bands to watch: TBH, I a haven't been able to find video of these nor have they been at any of the competitions I've been to. So, I just figure there's four of them, they're 2A with budgets to match, and they made it to Little Rock, d****t. Watch them all. Class 6A Bands to watch: Lake Hamilton, Siloam Springs, Greenwood, Greenbrier, Greene County Tech, Van Buren |

I know they recently won @ Branson and have been winning 6A state for several years, so I think they'd be pretty successful in the circuit. They attended BOA St. Louis regularly from 2011 to 2015. They haven’t made an appearance since then. 🤷♂️ They're something of an enigma. They do small comps that are not listed on Hornrank, far as I can tell. They won Branson this year, though the only other band that looked even remotely competitive was Mountain Home. They mostly avoid anything that has other significant Arkansas bands before state. The other one I know they won I can't even recall the name of, but I think it was mostly small schools in Oklahoma. They don't put a lot out on video, though this was posted by statechamp1239 on the Current Year Competitions>Non-BOA Circuits and Independent Shows 2023>Completed Competitions>Local Shows Weekend of 10/21/2023 thread following regional assessments, but it seems to have been switched out with some other random video now, though the caption still says "Van Buren." It's the most complete vid I've found, but it cuts off at the end: insert code here<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OwGx_IpkCkY?si=D8ckyKACYwavOrH2" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> insert code hereThe video was posted to YouTube by Fort Smith Northside, who hosted the Region VIII assessments. Video also exists of one half-time show in shorts [football home game vs. Russellville] and their prelim and finals run at Branson. |

1. Bentonville (M, V)
2. Fayetteville
3. Bryant
4. Cabot
5. Bentonville West
ASBOA doesn’t use BOA scoring. No GE. Bentonville scored 93.11, I believe.

K, I was pumping gas at a gas station on my way back from state when I posted that last message. My wife called and gave me those results that she saw on a parent Facebook page, but I can’t seem to find them, so I can’t give exact scores, but here are my notes/thoughts.
1. Shout to the 4A schools! I got there early to watch most of the 4A bands. Multiple schools that have great shows: Pottsville, Rivercrest, Pocahontas - all really amazing shows. Great frameworks. You can tell the directors know what they are doing. I’m sure it’s hard in these small towns to find things like private lessons and hard to keep teachers(or budgets) to continue to develop the music programs from middle school on
2. Shout out to all bands today, especially all the guard in the sleeveless costumes. The weather was brutal all day. Super cold and windy. By the end of the evening it was in the 30s with a nasty windchill.
3. Shout out to Bentonville and Bentonville West. They have both travelled ~16 hours(10+ to St Louis ~6 to State) and performed 3 times in the past few days. Neither had their best runs today, but those kids are freakin amazing to power through all of that.
I’ll try to make some comments on the performances tomorrow. And find the actual results.

Sad to see Arkadelphia lost their unprecedented 7-year streak. However, congrats on Rivercrest wins and being the only band to beat Arkadelphia, as well Pottsville medaling again for the third time.
