I would imagine Wakefield, MA will attend this event. Nothing to support that, but looking at their attempt to dip their toes into BOA the past couple of years (including a trip planned to the Florida regional last year), it seems likely. There are no major events currently scheduled in MA or New England for that weekend across US Bands and NESBA (save for a US Bands show at King Philip which I don't believe they've attended in recent years anyway).

I saw Blackstone-Millville and King Philip live at the 2019 IV Open National Championships they were amazing, both of them were better than most of the bigger bands at that competition. I would love to see BMR HS and KPR HS come back to BOA.

Bring back the New England/Northeast regional! How well is Shuart Stadium kept up since Hofstra dropped football? It has received continued use since the football team folded, but not as a football stadium (Hofstra has a great lacrosse team). US Bands has a history of booking multiple shows a year at big locations (MetLife Stadium, for instance), so I'm sure there are a number of other places that could be explored. Stony Brook is another unexplored option. Rutgers?

Spring-Ford - Confirmed (on their calendar) John P. Stevens - Confirmed (on their calendar, assuming the regional is in Delaware...they have no other reason to be in Delaware apart from a BOA competition) Williamstown - On their calendar they have "BOA TBD or TOB competition" which tells me they're waiting on venue to make a decision

Ah, my bad. I was looking at the 2nd list posted. I'm really curious how the US Bands/NJ Circuit split will end up affecting BOA attendance. I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot attendance in the future from the NJ bands who committed specifically to the new NJ circuit, given that they now will have a much more limited amount of shows to commit to, unlike the 10+ show options they have previously had each weekend in a typical US Bands season along with a "championship" event almost every weekend starting the middle of October. This first season may not have much participation though while they test the waters. However, I think consistency in BOA contest scheduling will be really important to allow that to happen. Two years ago the regional was two weeks later, which I argue works better for bands in the Northeast since they start competing later than most regions. For anybody interested, here's the current schedule for 2021: www.njmarching.org/2021-event-schedule.html
