Though, MFA has been pretty slow with those updates. You remember how long it took them to update the Austin schedule to reflect the dropped bands, for example. I guess we won’t know until day of or Haltom posts about whichever upcoming contest on their socials. BISD is also their home district, so they could have wanted to attended their home festival.

Also, after visiting Haltom’s website again, it looks like they were planning a big days-long trip to Orlando that included BOA, but literally nothing in their band calendar that week says that they’ll be in Florida. I’m afraid it seems like it may have been canceled or postponed to next year. I think we can confidently say they aren’t going, assuming they update their calendar regularly. I don’t pay THAT close attention. 😉

Catawba Ridge showed out today at a local competition, beating Fort Mill, Nation Ford, and Clover by a sizeable gap. White Knoll was 7th place overall, but still had an impressive performance. Can’t wait to see these SC bands show out next weekend

Dialed up the Scoville level a little bit, for sure. Probably a tad ambitious, but I can’t see them not in finals after the results this past weekend. We’ll see how they translate on a BOA field!

Catawba Ridge just beat Nation Ford AND Fort Mill at a local SC competition. It should be no surprise to see them make Finals.

So Haltom has finally been officially removed from the schedule. I guess they like to keep things exciting by waiting to the last minute to revise the schedule and let us know who dropped.

Shoutout to Catawba Ridge. First BOA regional. Should handily make finals. Easily one of the best bands of the day so far next to University. You can tell they just fielded their closer recently but their opener and ballad were pretty excellent.

Wow Catawba Ridge is definitely going places, love the aggressive percussion.
Also why is Chuck so loud?

So is that a sound effect, or are the mics on the field picking up the sound of the wind?
Tarpon is fantastic as always. I really like those uniforms.

Tarpon’s show is wonderful but… man, I’m not sure if it’s the mics or what but I’m hearing a lot of overblowing and individuals sticking out in the upper brass, particularly mellos. Their woodwinds, however, are chef’s kiss, as always.

Their woodwinds, however, are chef’s kiss, as always. Heard the same, but I've learned not to trust what we hear on the stream vs. in-person; a lot of overblowing somehow sounds completely fine sitting in the audience (at least that's my experience in Lucas Oil Stadium). This wasn't my favorite Tarpon show though, but just my personal opinion
