BOA has been screwed by the Rutgers Football schedule basically every year this regional has been run, if they could get this show on any weekend other than this one, I honestly think the attendance would increase a lot, because you would actually have NY bands here, in addition to whatever else you can get from New England area.

(the attendance and reach, NOT the attendees) Agreed. It's a shame that attendance is down even further. I really enjoyed this regional last year and the venue is great...other than that dang hill! 🥵

Could still be at 14, not that that's spectacular attendance.

But for our percussion friends I'm praying for them. Just one slip of a marimba and its huge pileup of kids at the bottom of the hill

Thankfully there is tons of room in the loading dock area to just store stuff down there as needed before or after a performance.

I was able to Tetris in everything for 17/20 bands while allowing Rutgers access to their storage containers and room for bands to transit to/from the field. Getting the other three in would have been a challenge.

Post by statechamp1239 on Sept 5, 2024 14:42:52 GMT -6
Oh, wow! Metuchen is a very surprising addition since they should be competing in TOB NJ States. They're one out of the four Class 1A NJ bands that's able to produce more than 100 members, and the fourth largest out of them in order with Ramsey, Whippany Park, and New Providence who came very close to 200 members. They compete in Class A at Tournament of Bands and competes in Open Class at USBands Nationals which is usually their only USBands competition. They never had must success in USBands. Only medaling (bronze) in 2013 USBands NJ States, and normally place in last place at USBands Nationals V Open, and only broke into the 90th percentile once: 2014: (IV Open) 7. 93.950: Urbana, MD 8. 93.330: North Warren Regional, NJ 9. 91.188: Morris Knolls, NJ 10. 89.975: Metuchen, NJ2015: (IV Open) 8. 93.212: Central Bucks H.S.
