Does anyone have any predictions? Yes. The show will be rained out. There is a 90% chance of steady rain all day... Too bad. I was looking forward to seeing everyone

I hope the weather holds out! I am looking forward to seeing these shows. I've never made predictions but why not try it? 1. Dobyns-Bennett (although I do believe Byrnes will give them a run for their money this year) 2. James F Byrnes 3. Kennesaw Mountain 4. Green Hope 5. Walton 6. Panther Creek 7. Mill Creek 8. Lassiter And I haven't seen anyone else so that's all I can guess

Still not quite sure what to make of the weather situation - looks like finals might be spared

PC Green Hope and Cleveland dropped out too. They made it a standstill performance with music judges only. Too bad really, this was going to be a fabulous lineup

I wonder if WCU will explore moving this show to a different weekend in the future. It seems like every year now we have almost no measurable rain in western NC from July-September and then in October Mother Nature decides to make up for it with rainy cold fronts galore or tropical systems. WCU already had the snafu in 2013 with BOA so I doubt they'd move it forward a week. Going a week later might work as it's still before SC 5A championships and the BOA Atlanta super doesn't exist anymore. The only potential problem is having bands perform in 30 degree weather who are definitely not used to it.

Weather wise it would be nice to move it up because it has been been pretty ideal as far as rain, that September was brutal with the heat though. But wcu provides a show to those 5A bands who don’t want to do boa the week before. Usually a great panel and and great stadium. The floor in their indoor arena is big, probably close to football field size LOL. It provides a good mid season large show. Super bummed

The reality is this is as stable a time of year as NC gets. It's just bad luck. Hurricanes and tropical storms generally cease to be an issue here much after 10/1 but this one is coming out of the gulf.

Show's off. Green Hope and PC will compete with Cleveland and Cary, etc in a local show. I won't be there but it should be a good competition. With GH and PC going on first and Cleveland last no less out of aroun 20 bands.

Wow, that's such a huge bummer. This was looking like a pretty cool show overall, but to have these issues year after year....
