I suspect Castle is on the hunt to win this one again, which is probably what will happen hahaha I don’t know, Castle seems to be going downhill. If North Hardin could overcome an early season Castle, which is a very good possibility since they are always close in score as Franklin has a show like 2019, it’s not out of the realm for them to win. Or Castle could stay the same and Franklin could’ve had an “off” year and could take it. It’s hard for me to see Franklin over Castle, but it’s easier for me to see North Hardin over Castle. 70% Castle 20% Franklin 10% North Hardin Or ya know... O’Fallon could show up and sweep. Personally, I would rather see O’Fallon win. With all do respect to Castle, their shows have been repetitive even since before Sophie. I want a new show, something out of Castle’s comfort zone. Don’t get me wrong, I love Castle, but if they have the same kind of show in 6 or 7 years, I may not feel the same way. Yet, I still think they had the music to win that caption at Louisville. Oh well. Predictions: 1A - KY Band 2A - North Hardin gets second in visual for the third year in a row 3A - Bloodbath 4A - Non-Finalist band or O’Fallon sweeps

I really hope Castle gets some top notch design because those kids are AMAZING performers, so now they just need a design that reflects their crazy abilities. I also hope Franklin figures themselves out because they can never seem to find a consistency in design and performance:( If they can return back to their 2012-15 show style and performance, they'll be golden. I also want the best for North as well cause lord knows that band can PLAY!!! Overall, this regional is one of my all time favs to watch:)

If O’Fallon shows up, I can’t see them NOT taking the title.

Thoughts on McGavock returning? Really good TN band but has taken out of BOA field recently. I have a cousin that goes there and she said that their band is going downhill. Fast. Issues between the directors and students led many to quit and they could be smaller than ever now. Does anyone know why they’ve taken such an absence to the national stage lately?

I think they're a pretty decent band. They even beat Franklin at the state championships this year-though there was apparently some shady business with the judges this year but I didnt say that;) But yeah, the overall numbers have unfortunately been going down for them a lot in the past couple years, and there's this growing disinterest in band overall. It's very disheartening considering the crazy potential they have:(

He was their director during their BOA finalist years.

Interesting. Did he retire in general, or did he move to another school? I know I’m plenty of instances where a great director leaves a school and the other school they go to becomes amazing out of no where. Example, North Hardin in it’s finalist years had a certain director, and he moved to another school (can’t think of it, maybe Lafayette or George Rodgers Clark) and they haven’t made finals since and that other school became one of the best in the nation.

Jeff Beckman went to Tennessee State University after he left McGavock.
Craig Cornish was director at North Hardin in the late 80s. He left after the highly successful 1989 season. I believe he went to Paul Laurence Dunbar for a time before going on to teach at the university level.
Jeff Hood was the director at George Rogers Clark during the late 80s/early 90s. He went to Paul Laurence Dunbar (I think in the mid 90s). He was director at Dunbar during their most successful years in the 2000s.

Well, that's a surprise if I've ever seen one. Indeed a surprise. Brings a little more competition to the top end of this regional, especially if O'Fallon is not attending like its rumored. I wonder if there are going to be any other surprise attendees to this show.
