I even tried to do hangman once, and I'm totally up to doing this again, but I just don't think everyone will be willing to participate every time that where I was coming from. Didn't mean any harm.

You’re fine lol. I don’t think you’ve said anything that angered anyone. If if someone is mad over a game of wordle well then too bad.

Copley's 2023 show, in my opinion, marked a big step up from their shows over the previous ten years, by which I mean that in Grand Nationals terms they went from shows that would score in the low 60s (or lower, in some years) to one that would score in the high 60s or very low 70s. I liked Copley's show, Your Life's Blueprint, more than Norton's Puzzled (70.70), Hamilton's The Masters (71.35), or Stebbins's Reflections (72.85),* but not as much as Nordonia's A Day in Paris (74.15) -- the scores I list are what those four bands got in Grand Nationals. For several years, Copley seemed to be the biggest band in their OMEA class, sometimes with 200 members, but they've been smaller since the pandemic.
*(It boggles my mind that Stebbins's 2023 show could receive almost the exact same score at Grand Nationals as Pickerington North's 2017 show received at the Indianapolis Super Regional. Different years, different shows, numbers management, blah blah blah: while that was far from my favorite show from Pick. North, and while I thought it was a mistake by the Buckeye Invitational judges to score it over Beavercreek and Lakota West a week before the Indy event, it was clearly of like quality to those shows -- there was a clear top four at OSU that year -- and thus obviously deserved a score of at least 75 from BOA. Time and again I feel that good bands are underscored at that Super Regional and merely fair bands are overscored at Grand Nationals.)

Don't tease us now.. we get enough of that from statechamp! I won’t tease then, I’ll be forthright! I was planning on being a little quieter this season, to be honest. If I do any predictions they probably won’t be until closer to competition season. But who knows how I’ll end up feeling once the lists are out?

They have been on my BOA wishlist for a LONG time. They will be AA. Finished third at state in Flight II (Behind Jenison and Byron Center - another band on my BOA wishlist). Historically, they've been a GE focused program, which would help on BOA sheets vs MCBA sheets, but with how early this regional is this year, might not make a ton of difference. Here is a pre-state rehearsal run from last year.
