Crazy how early this regional is this year! It will be interesting to see how many “full shows” are put on the field. My bet would be not very many. Either way, glad to be so close to the start of the 2024 season!

Quick question but is Homestead competing in 3A or 4A? Kinda confused from some sources saying they're 3A this season and what not, just wanna make sure. Using last year’s Indiana Department of Ed numbers, Homestead is AAA by 5 kids. Official count day in Indiana isn’t until early October.

This is the final week I can pray the sponsors start sponsoring so we can get more than 5 commercials in the Box5 rotation 🙏

Note from the director's packet re: parking ... Interesting. I parked for free the three times I attended BOA's Toledo event (in 2016, 2021, and 2023). Now they're charging for it and they're making it difficult to buy? So dumb. (I take it this is a new policy of the university and not anything BOA is doing. And I am used to paying $5 to park at OMEA state finals each year. But you can pay on site, with cash, in those instances. And it's faster -- at least for those, who are more than a few, who don't know to pay in advance.)

I can assure you that I didn't pay to park in those three years. Maybe it's only in certain lots?

Toledo Predictions since we are almost 1 week away!
CLASS A:
1. Archbishop Alter H.S., OH 2. Grant H.S., MI
Music: Alter Visual: Alter GE: Alter
CLASS AA:
1. Jenison H.S., MI 2. Miamisburg H.S., OH 3. Reeths-Puffer H.S., MI
Music: Jenison Visual: Jenison GE: Jenison
CLASS AAA:
1. Homestead H.S., IN 2. Rockford H.S., MI 3. Goshen H.S., IN
Music: Rockford Visual: Homestead GE: Homestead
CLASS AAAA:
1. Carroll H.S., IN 2. Plymouth-Canton E.P., MI
Music: Carroll Visual: Carroll GE: Carroll
Finals: 1. Homestead H.S., IN 2. Jenison H.S., MI 3. Rockford H.S., MI 4. Carroll H.S., IN 5. Goshen H.S., IN 6. Miamisburg H.S., OH 7. Plymouth-Canton E.P., MI 8. Lake Orion H.S., MI 9. Reeths-Puffer H.S., MI 10. Archbishop Alter H.S., MI 11. L'Anse Creuse H.S., MI 12. Central Crossing, H.S., OH
Music: Jenison Visual: Homestead GE: Homestead
I could see any of the top 4 or 5 winning this regional. I think it'll be super tight. Watch out for Miamisburg to steal Visual in prelims from Jenison. That colorguard is incredible. Should be a fun show!

I’ll throw my hat in.
1. Homestead H.S., IN 2. Jenison H.S., MI 3. Carroll H.S., IN 4. Rockford H.S., MI 5. Goshen H.S., IN 6. Lake Orion H.S., MI 7. Reeths-Puffer H.S., MI 8. Miamisburg H.S., OH 9. Plymouth-Canton E.P., MI 10. Plainfield Central H.S., IL 11. L’Anse Creuse H.S., MI 12. Central Crossing H.S., OH
A 1. Archbishop Alter H.S., OH (Sweep) 2. Grant H.S., MI
AA 1. Jenison H.S., MI (Sweep) 2. Reeths-Puffer H.S., MI 3. Miamisburg H.S., OH
AAA 1. Homestead H.S., IN (Sweep) 2. Rockford H.S., MI 3. Goshen H.S., IN
AAAA 1. Carroll H.S., IN (Sweep) 2. Plymouth-Canton E.P., MI
Puffer is quite a bit stronger than last year after seeing some of their show. I guess Miamisburg had to rewrite a lot of their opener drill very recently, which is the only reason I gave Puffer a slight edge, so I’m hoping that doesn’t affect them too much here. Plymouth-Canton is always a wild card, so who knows with them; I could see them as high as 6th. I see the most shuffling happening between 6th and 10th. Plainfield Central and L’Anse Creuse could very much surprise!

Not a super hot take, but from what I’ve seen and heard, watch for Jenison to take at least 1 caption in finals. My guess would be Music
Super excited to see how the MI bands do, especially L’Anse Creuse and Dewitt!

One week away. Final predictions!
Prelims:
A: 1. Archbishop Alter (all captions) 2. Grant
AA: 1. Jenison (all captions) 2. Miamisburg 3. Reeths-Puffer
AAA: 1. Homestead (all captions) 2. Rockford 3. Goshen
AAAA: 1. Carroll (all captions) 2. Plymouth-Canton EP
Finals: 1. Homestead (Visual, GE) 2. Jenison (Music) 3. Rockford 4. Carroll 5. Goshen 6. Miamisburg 7. Lake Orion 8. Reeths-Puffer 9. Plymouth-Canton EP 10. Archbishop Alter 11. Plainfield Central 12. L’Anse Creuse
This is going to be a fun regional. I know my predictions show all sweeps in prelims, but don’t be surprised if Rockford steals a caption in AAA. As for Finals, who wins, I believe, is going to be determined by performance order. The top 4-5are going to be close!

Trying to figure out my cravings lol I won't be at this event, but I do hope they're staffing up the concessions to meet the size of the audience this time. Last year, after waiting 15 minutes in line with little progress during the lunch break, I gave up and walked more than half a mile each way from the stadium to a hot dog place at the corner of Dorr and Douglas and returned to note that the person who had been in front of me in line at the stadium still hadn't gotten to the concessions.
