Introduction of Regional A Class:
USBands is adding a new Class called "Regional A" used for "new USBands Next Generation strategy" to advocate budget friendly to these band with fee-free as well schedule friendly to provide competition that are convenient for them. "The Regional A Class will be focused primarily on bands by measuring their achievement and offering support in each ensemble’s emerging fundamental skill sets." To allow Regional A Class bands to compete with success with limited time, financial, or educational resources. 

It will only be used by local competition in the New England and Mid-Atlantic region.

I need someone to help me understand exactly what US Bands is in relation to BOA and if they prefer one over the other. I have never attended a USB competition. Should I go? And if so, which ones are the best?

USBands is run by the Blue Devils, formerly YEA! (the Cadets).  In competitions, bands are classified by size and compete with bands within their classification. The classes include range from Group 1, the smallest, to Group 6, the largest. Bands are also classified by skill level. The skill classifications include the A Class for inexperienced bands, new bands, and bands that have recently moved to a larger size group and the Open class for established programs. In total, there are 12 classifications ranging from Group I A to Group V Open, who perform and compete with bands of similar size and talent.  


Group I - 1 to 35 members (Texas: 1-59)

Group II - 36 to 49 members (Texas: 60-99)

Group III - 50 to 64 members (Texas: 100-139)

Group IV - 65 to 89 members (Texas: 140-169)

Group V - 90 and more members (Texas: 170+)

USBands in TX is getting better. It does attract more of the smaller and some larger bands that doesn't really compete or doesn't have much success in BOA. This is what I believe, and I could be wrong but Finals in USBands it's bit different from BOA. In BOA Class Champions who doesn't make finals and will perform in exhibition, but in USBands Group Champions that doesn't make finals will automatically be include in finals and compete with score, so it all depends on which Group Champion doesn't make finals that lower the amount top scoring bands that are able to compete in finals.

For Example, to make finals:
USBands Regional: (10 bands make Finals)

Example 1:	Example 2
Top 9 Bands	Top 7 Bands
+ Group I Champion	+ Group III Champ Group II Champ Group I Champ

But at the end of the season TX USBands provides Championships like Southwestern in Arlington, TX, Southeastern in Tomball, TX, and Central in Round Rock, TX where 12 bands instead of 10 bands make finals, and this usually during BOA San Antonio which bring bands who competed on Friday.

Good Choices for u LeanderMomma  
Saturday, Oct. 26
USBands Ark-La-Tex Regional - Bossier City, LA 8am Prelims | 7pm Finals

This is on the Northwest corner of Louisiana and is very new but had some great success last year, it brought 3 Texas bands who I've never seen before like Texas HS, Mt. Pleasant HS who won with their Wednesday show, and Pine Tree HS, Mississippi bands, and showcase many Louisiana doesn't get much recognition anymore and it even included LA powerhouse Lafayette Lion Band.

Saturday, Nov 2
USBands Open Class National Championships - MetLife Stadium - East Rutherford, NJ
If you are ever in Maryland and since BOA doesn't seem to have a Regional this week for now. You'll get to see finest bands in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic like Dartmouth, MA, or Norwalk, CT or Linganore, MD, and maybe will be lucky this year to get an outsider like Magnolia West, TX in 2015, Paragould, AR in 2017, and Roosevelt, SD in 2019.

The only problem is that it isn't indoor so ur really expose to the element so get blankets, hot chocolate, 2 gloves, 2 pants, 2 socks, 3 shirts, jacket, 2 sweater, a hat, handwarmers, a scarf, or an umbrella if it rain, but you might be lucky like in 2021 when it was like 57 degrees.

If you free on 
Tuesday, Nov 5
USBands Southwestern Championship - AT&T Stadium
Amazing choice. It is one out of two indoor facilities USBands uses which does have huge turnout with bands from Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas like Parkway, LA, Airline, LA, and Rogers Heritage, AR.

Saturday, Sept. 28
USBands Houston Regional - CCISD Challenger Columbia Stadium - Webster, TX 8am Prelims
This tend to be a great Regional. Dickinson has won consecutively and would love to seem in BOA always win against Clear Lake, Cinco Ranch, Pasadena Memorial.

Saturday, Oct 05
USBands Dallas Regional - Crowley ISD Stadium - Crowley, TX 8am Prelims
This is during BOA Bedford and is 35ish minute away and some big names does come her like Southlake Carroll, Burleson Centennial, Lewisville, Red Oak, Summit, Mansfield, VR Eaton, Pearce.

USBands Austin Regional - Bob Shelton Stadium - Buda 8am Prelims
Does have Jack C. Hays has been doing great here, as well W.J. Brennan, Liberty Hill, Lehman, McCallum who came in 2023 placing 2nd, and Copperas Cove beating everyone last year.

Marine Corps Invitational - Navy & Marine Corps Memorial Stadium - Annapolis, MD 10am
I would heavily recommend this show brings a lot of Northeastern/Mid-Atlantic top tier bands I would say it's on par with BOA Mid-Atlantic, but this has been cancelled by Hurricane Ian in 2022 and heavy rain in 2023 making a lot of bands drop plus, and this is during BOA Memphis and Bedford sooo idk.

Saturday, Oct 12
USBands Burleson Regional - Burleson Stadium - Burleson, TX 8am Prelims
They have some really good bands come here like Duncanville, Byron Nelson, Lakeview Centennial, Richland, Memorial, Fossil Ridge TX, Burleson, and etc

USBands Ark-La-Miss Regional - West Monroe, LA 8am Prelims
This is in North Central Louisiana which is new this year and idk how popular this will be or if it will stay.
U100 Regional: Rice Veteran’s Memorial Stadium - Altair, TX 8am Prelim
This is also very new this year if you want support some very small bands in TX that are less than 100 members this is the place.

Saturday, Oct. 19
USBands Quad States Championships - University of South Dakota - Vermillion, SD 10am
If you're feeling adventurous come here, it's great indoor show that showcase many Northern bands like many SD bands, not well-known Nebraska bands like Kearny or Pierce, Iowa bands like the Sioux City's bands, and Minnesota bands like Pipestone H.S. but this is during BOA Waco, Johnson City, Indy SR, and Newark.

I had heard that it was a BD run endeavor, but I simply can’t imagine a drum corps running something of this magnitude. They must make some serious bank off of it!
