I'd love to see Ohio's best Class A band, which in my opinion is not Norton, show up at a regional: would BOA's judges agree with me about that? Depends on the year. Visual program variation leads to different levels of BOA success for traditional OMEA bands. One measure that would tell much about potential success at BOA would be for the band to participate in some MSBA events. The sheets are modeled on BOA sheets. To a lesser extent, depends on the panel.

My whole problem with this is that you see circuits based right here in PA such as TOB/TIA, USBands, Cavalcade, along with 2 drum corps right in the area (Cadets, Surf). And it's my firm opinion that the single riskiest drum corps show of the past ten years, by which I mean the show that deliberately set its corps the biggest design challenge to overcome, was in DCA not DCI. Thank you for this post––DCA corps' shows do not receive the credit they deserve. I'd be curious to hear you share which show you're referencing here! I've always thought of Boston Crusaders 2014 ("Animal Farm") to be the most audacious drum corps show design ever, but I'd love to see another show challenge that.

Flower Mound, Ronald Reagan, Leander, and Round Rock merge to become SuperBand, Avon HS collapses in the war and the band has to rehearse underground to avoid detection, Lockport overthrows MFA and renames BOA 'Kentucky Sucks', teleportation allows more Western bands at GN, Class AAAAA is founded, Vista Ridge sweeps AAAA at GN

I'm totally on board with the notion that "Animal Farm" might be the most difficult drum corps show ever, so let me qualify my claim to note that quite a few DCI shows have had more drill, more notes, or more of both combined than the DCA show I'm thinking of, which comes from the same year: "Break On Through" by the Buccaneers, where all but the last minute of the eleven-minute show (apart from one horn feature) was performed without using the front ten yards of the field, and that was before DCA allowed brass amplification. Talk about tying one arm behind your back! Especially for a group that only rehearses a couple days a week.

It always impresses me what DCA corps are able to do with their limited rehearsal time, especially the top groups like Buccs.
