Anyone see any of these groups yet/know how they are doing? I was planning on going to two events on Saturday. One is Scotch Plains to see (Westfield and JPS) and another is South Brunswick to see (Edison), but I had a little accident at work so I decided to stay home. But John P. Steven beat Westfield by 8.1 points and achieved the highest score in the competition they are looking great for finals. However, Edison got the 4th highest score and lost to Hillsborough (NJ).

Excited for this one this year. It's going to be interesting to see who takes it this year with Norwin, Kiski, James Madison and Trumbull there! Anyone seen any of these 4 groups yet?

Saw a video of Trumbull. They won't be challenging for the win this year, unfortunately. Right now I'm worried about them even making finals. They're our only remaining New England presence so I'm going to be really bummed if this ends up being more than a speedbump.

Hopefully it's a fluke from Covid and they bounce back!!!

I think this is Cleveland's first competitive performance (they hosted a show). They will be in with all the Cary bands next week. I suspect they might win that given the heavy Cary redistricting but too early to draw a bead on them.

I saw their 2019 show and looked and sounded pretty good but as far as show design, to me that was the part that was lacking a bit. That's just my personal opinion though.

No idea as they've been up and down. I think they have a more similar style to Norwin than did Green Hope when they were up there, similar size and more similar visual approach. So I think it will be a matter of execution and design. Not that it isn't pretty much always about that. My hunch is that they could be on the cusp of a good run as the state's best marching band. But it's no more than a hunch.

Does anyone have videos of Kiski, Norwin, or James Madison from this year?

Don’t know enough about half of these bands to make any predictions worth a damn, but my one prediction is that Cleveland will win their first BOA regional here.

There's a rehearsal video from Norwin a few weeks ago and a few James Madison headcams on Youtube right now. Still haven't seen anything from Kiski this year.

Something else I'm interested in is what bands had a season last year? I know Norwin did a show as well as Kiski. Did JM or Cleveland have any sort of season?

This looks like a pretty early/incomplete run, and Norwin usually takes a while to get their stuff together so I wouldn't base my predictions on it too heavily. I've been told Norwin won't be marching their last few sets this week (although they will play to the end of the show). Also I can no longer find the James Madison headcams. Sorry about that.

To my knowledge there were no shows in NC last year as there wasn't even football let alone competitions.

Obviously Norwins and Kiskis shows weren't their usual design but they were at least marching and playing and I know Norwin submitted videos and did the BOA showcase. The fact that they had a season may give these two a leg up over Madison, and Cleveland.
