That’s a little disappointing for Bellevue West. When I saw them in prelims I was certain they’d see a medal in their class. AAA is tough! They’re AA this year. Even tougher here.

Thanks for the correction. You’re right- AA IS even tougher. This competition has me really wanting to make a “Ranking by Class” thread…

If they lose a caption to Camdenton or Morton I can see them lower, though.

Move Prospect to third or fourth and I completely agree! Really? Everyone around me had them as a steady first. If they lose a caption to Camdenton or Morton I can see them lower, though. Truly, their battery sounded like they were overpowering a lot of the winds, and no other band had that issue to me. It’s just a turn off for me. I noticed a plethora of front to back timing issues as well. Who knows though? I’ve been surprised before. I hope do hope their finals run is enough for them to medal! Big fan of the program, just thought they were off this afternoon.

I *AM* surprised to see CR Prairie there! Good on them! Some big improvement since 2019 (when they were 56th out of 69 bands at BOA St. Louis, and almost 14 points behind Bellevue West and almost 19 points behind Camdenton in the same Prelims panel).

Bellevue West IS top half. Okay, now I’m confused. The graphic on social media and the announcement here at the dome has Bellevue AFTER PLVS. So does the page on the MFA website. The quick recap, though, has them in bottom half. What is the truth @ MFA 😮

Struggling to see how Hymn of Acxiom fits with Davenport Central’s theme. It’s done well, but how does this relate to “Snow”?

Wow, very cool results. Huge shoutout to Morton and PLV for their impressive performance this weekend, and hats off to Camdenton of course. I really like this regional, hopefully it sticks around next year.

Congrats to Camdenton on their first regional win! Congrats to Morton for their outstanding showing today after missing out on finals here two years ago. And congrats to Papillion La-Vista South for medaling in what I think is their first BOA regional!

Altogether, incredible showing today and tonight. There were many moments that felt like a Super Regional to me. Powerful A and AA bands like these show that you don’t have to be selective to make champions- you have to raise them. Any kid is capable if they have band staff who believes in them.
This regional is just more evidence for me that Missouri desperately needs to have a state contest like OBA or UIL. Who cares if Blue Springs always wins- Camdenton, Grain Valley, Nixa, Kickapoo, and Rockwood Summit have all proven that they perform at a caliber of excellence that warrants more than just BOA St. Louis. Congratulations to Camdenton once again, as well as Morton, PLVS, and every band here tonight.

Congratulations Camdenton. I remember seeing them in 2017 Powder Springs and knew they were onto something

Yes congratulations to Camdenton on their first BOA Regional Title. They are now the second Missouri band to win a BOA regional (Blue Springs was first at this regional in 2019).

Had Independence stayed for finals, they would have been top half and move Bellevue West into bottom half +1.
