Really hope enrollment picks up for this one. I do wonder if moving this show two weeks later than it was in 2019 will draw a smaller lineup. 22 bands was a great showing and it would be disappointing if the enrollment drops off. Arizona is so well positioned to draw bands from NM, CO, UT, NV as well as SoCal and maybe even El Paso. It would be a shame for it to fail.

I have no idea how this could affect participation from outside states, but I think we'll see more AZ groups at this regional because of the later date. In 2019, this show was the last Saturday of September, which made it the FIRST competition of the season for most groups. I suspect groups would be more inclined to attend if they had the time to attend some local competitions first and to get their entire shows on the field.

If this regional stays in the Flagstaff area it could also potentially be one to draw bands from outside the southwest looking for a "destination" trip for a competition, with it's proximity to the Grand Canyon.

It seems like Air Academy will likely be going since they shared Bands of America’s post on their FB page.

Lots of Colorado bands considering this regional.
Have heard rumors that Rampart, CO could make the trip a second year in a row. They were a finalist at this regional last year, good Colorado band. Other rumored Colorado bands are Lakewood High School, and Air Academy High School. I would love to see Air Academy make this trip. With the quality of Arizona band, and if some of the California rumors are true, this could be a really fun regional this year.

I, too, would love to see Air Academy make the trip down!

Also likely:
Desert Vista, AZ
DV - Now I could be wrong about this, but if Vista Murrieta doesn’t go I don’t think it’s out of the realm for a silver or maybe gold for this reigning bronze medalist. With the perfect show design, I think they could pull it off. Plus, it’s only about 2 1/2 hours away, which is good for a BOA Regional in that area.

Ahhh, and I must mention.
If The Big West 5 (my new name for Ayala, Upland, VM, American Fork, and Foothill) don’t show up, I have another band in mind that would most certainly take the title 😎

Add: Coweta, OK.
Now I would still keep this in rumored, considering I didn’t get this from the most trustworthy sources. (Aka student word, and they didn’t even directly say it.)

I doubt that Coweta will attend this regional again. I have a reliable source that I can check with later though to confirm.

Like I said, my source wasn’t exactly anyone reliable but they were pretty positive. Personally, I’m just glad this Regional is back!

I’d be surprised if Ayala didn’t attend. I think they were scared off as it was so early in the season last year.
