American Athletic Conference schedule has dropped today, which affects Memphis. Sun Belt conference is claiming their football schedule will be out no later than March 1, which would affect the Conway show. Memphis open dates: 9/14, 9/21, 10/5, 10/12, 11/2. Coastal Carolina open dates: 9/14, 9/25, 10/12, 10/26, 11/2, 11/9. For the southeastern regional, I'm wondering if it could possibly be held at Troy again, or at Center Parc Stadium, the former home of the Atlanta Braves, now the home of Georgia State: Troy open dates: 9/14, 10/5, 10/12, 10/19, 10/26, 11/9. Georgia State open dates: 9/21, 10/5, 10/19, 10/26, 11/2, 11/9. I believe I've heard that the southeastern regional will not return to Troy. Don't hold me to that tho |

Georgia is a great choice for Southeastern Regional. GSU isn't bad. They were able to host a show with 22 bands back in 2018 even included Nease, FL and Ooltewah, TN, as well late Powder Springs Regional isn't bad of a choice it does bring in a good crowd.

Don't hold me to that tho Pelham H.S., AL has posted an event on their calendar for October 12th labeled “BOA Troy”. |

New date teased to directors for the Memphis regional: 10/5 Actually, this seems to be 100% the case. Snippet from an email to directors today: "Please take a look at the information below, and if you need to make any changes to your registration, please REPLY VIA EMAIL. October 5th, 2024*Memphis, TN - Simmons Bank Stadium Chattanooga, TN - Finley Stadium October 12th, 2024*Conway, SC - Coastal Carolina University *Troy, AL - Troy University" |

Memphis shows up on both the schedule page and the registration availability page at this time. Conway and Southeast TBD are both without dates on those pages. yayband914's email snippet appears to be ahead of website updates. |

October 5th, 2024*Memphis, TN - Simmons Bank Stadium Chattanooga, TN - Finley Stadium October 12th, 2024*Conway, SC - Coastal Carolina University *Troy, AL - Troy University" As noted in the Memphis thread, this combination of pairings is very disappointing for me. |

Very disappointing, but Troy is quite a distance from Conway |

Still technically no regionals confirmed for the weekend of 11/02. If California is indeed the only show that weekend that feels kind of blah, especially since the California regionals are notorious for folding due to low attendance. I highly doubt BOA wants a weekend in the season with zero events (not counting Affiliate shows).
It won't happen, but if they scheduled Moscow for 11/02, that would make it a neat little BOA weekend exclusive to the west coast.

At the public request of a poster, I did a bit of cleaning up in the Current Competitions (BOA) board- added dates & events as listed on the website. I'm still waiting on Conway to be updated to the website, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
Barring any surprise announcements, every event with at least a location mentioned in the schedule release episode of Break Ranks has been assigned a date fully once Conway is given its date.

There was actually a rhyme and reason to the way some threads did not have an event attached - Midland and Shenandoah are still officially tentative, Conway does not have a date listed at all let alone confirmed, California/PNW/Southeast are all technically fully TBD.

Emails to directors this week suggest otherwise regarding the Conway and Southeastern regionals. Not sure why they haven’t updated the website yet, but I suppose there’s a reason… |

But still nothing about what category an event falls into if there are 6 to 9 spots open. ::smh::
And what's the difference between "call for info" and "full" in the status?

I think "call into info" probably just mean that it's full on their estimated enrollment capacity but are willing to add a few more schools probably smaller bands. |

I moved all the threads for affiliate events to a sub-board since there are so many this year and them all getting threads created at the same time pushed many of the actual BOA events off the front page

Not something about a schedule, but I’ve heard some unfortunate news that Southmoore will very likely NOT be attending any BOA events this year.
The positive is that it sounds like they have plans for returning in 2025 with a likely trip to Grand Nationals đź¤

Another non-schedule related comment, but I’ve heard that some BOA judges have been getting schedules and info about events they would be judging at over the last few weeks. Unsure of any specifics beyond that.

Looks like they need to do one of two things with the undefined Southeast Regional:
a) Just call it a bust and move on OR
b) Finalize a date and location and hope that drives registration.

Interesting note:
Indianapolis SR is shown as being 10 over capacity. That means there is a full show with 10 bands already waitlisted.
Chattanooga is shown at 5 over capacity. Full show with 5 waitlisted. Might we see some migration to Memphis on the same date?
