I have a feeling they won’t release them until all finals contests have concluded. Not that there’s any reason for that, I just have a feeling.

Ehh that sounds about right tbh. This is definitely a rebuilding year after the school split. Some swinging ordinals for them though.

So upsetting that finals were cancelled I’m part of the Walton band and i know that we had unfortunate circumstances regarding the rain and wind during our performance, so there was a lot more that I could’ve done do have had a better performance. Fourth place is great but I wish I were able to end the season with a more significant performance and I was hoping to do that in finals. Though anticlimactic, I’m still glad to have made finals and i’m very proud of the band!

Does anyone know if this competition was judged particularly harder than other recent BOA comps? Harrison only got an 84 in first.. seems awfully low to me.

Scores do not matter in the grand scheme of things and should not be compared across competitions, years, etc. 1st place with 5 points is still 1st place. What matters is rank, then spread, then range. Exact scores are arbitrary and made up for the most part.

Harrison has a great show this year IMO. They played better than Byrnes visual is good... but I think they will struggle to make finals - they’re on the bubble. Their ballad is gorgeous a highlight definitely the best moment of the show.

But Byrnes would have won in finals if all of their electronics worked!! We can’t call a competition just based on prelims if it was judged fairly!

Way to go, Fayetteville, AR! First time regional finalist, I think(BOAhistorybuff, help me out here). You were so clean at the Owasso contest earlier this season - I'm not surprised one bit.

JUST KIDDING🤣 1st that's toxic and you should be more respectful of all of the band that worked they're butts in the rain while you sat under an umbrella and watched. 2nd they were a tenth of a point away from Harrison with theyre tarps blowing in the wind and NONE of their sounds working they would've stolen GE from Harrison by a solid point if everything worked...

Let me respond to this in two parts. First - most of what you said is spot on. We need to respect the bands and their hard work. As to marimba11 being toxic, I must disagree. Some context is needed for the many new forums participants. Historically on the old BOA/MFA forums, new posters would regularly show up when a finals was cancelled by rain and post something like marimba11 did in his original "but so-and-so would have won if such-and-such." His immediate "just kidding" was not meant to disparage any band but rather to make fun of such comments we have seen over the years

First off, Marimba said he was joking but not really.
You have to understand that he is a Fort Mill Apologist.
The context is a few years ago Fort Mill bested Harrison at a BOA Regional in the South. Cant remember exact context. BUT, that BOA Regional had their finals cancelled and since FM was leading in prelims, they were awarded the Regional Championship. Thats called an incomplete contest. Still makes no sense that BOA would declare a Regional Champion at a Regional that was not completed. It would be like declaring a BOA National Champion after just prelims or semi-finals.
Now that the shoe is on the other foot for FM, I am sure they are thinking that they would have finished better than 6th if there would have been a Finals and I am sure that is what their Directors would tell them BUT they disregarded that same logic when they "won" and incomplete Regional.
And the same people that tell you on this forums and others that prelims are just used to place proper bands in the finals and their rankings in prelims should not be closely examined are the same ones that are OK with declaring a Regional Champion after just prelim performance.

So should Harrison have not won the 2019 BOA Powder Springs regional? Should they have just burned the trophy’s and told everyone to go home?

Regional or National Champions should not be named in incomplete BOA contests. So, Harrison should not been awarded trophy and title of Regional Championship and yes, everyone should just go home

In the end, this was just one band competition. Relax a little bit! All the bands that performed worked very hard and put on great shows. But in the end, someone had to win, and someone will always be unhappy with the results. Whether they give awards based on prelims or finals doesn't really matter much imo, especially in a scenario like this that was less than desirable weather-wise.

I have a question for someone! It was posted earlier in this thread that Harrison is a bubble band? Do you mean they’re on the bubble to make finals at Grand Nats? After watching all of yesterday’s prelims on FloMarching I would agree that Harrison and James F Byrnes were the two best bands. Would Byrnes have won had everything worked properly? Who know but I do believe it would e been much closer. If any of you more seasoned band folks would like to chime in, who would be the top four or five bubble bands going to Grand Nationals this year?

Looking at the recap it seems Byrnes is doing well in music and music effect but struggling a little in visual achievement and content. I’d say they have a great chance at being top 22, but finals is probably a long shot. It’s a super cool show
