Cape Fear is listed on the Cary Band Day schedule as well same day. I'm wondering if they signed up for both pending any Covid related restrictions.

Drop: Campbell County H.S., KY Cape Fear H.S., NC Dorman H.S., SC River Bluff H.S., SC Booo I believe Campbell County is under travel restrictions. Cape Fear is going through some rough times, from what I hear. As for the other two, I have no news or T.

Cape Fear marched and played just fine but their show is not remotely as ambitious as what they've historically done. The stunning thing is that their guard, which could perform with any band anywhere, is just not strong, not even at this local level. Not sure what happened to that program.

I did not know Tarpon Springs would be here Almost certainly a win for them, but it'll be interesting to see how the top half shakes up with Byrnes, DB, KM, etc. Although this is a thin regional in terms of enrollment, there certainly isn't a shortage of powerhouse bands.

It has been announced that everyone attending this event must wear masks indoors. Student performers and band staff are exempt from this while they are on the field and in the performance flow.

Does anyone know how Kennesaw is doing this year? Strong as usual I'm guessing?

Does anyone know how Kennesaw is doing this year? Strong as usual I'm guessing? I would temper any expectations of winning. I would not be surprised to see KM in the middle of the pack. I would be surprised if they were beating Bassett or JFB.

I would be surprised if they were beating Bassett or JFB. Agreed, and I certainly don’t see them placing third again this year. They have a beautiful show, but after watching them last weekend at WCU they have a good bit of cleaning to do. Probably still top half though

I agree with your finalists though!

What's interesting to think about here is how placements would shake out if Walton, GA had attended. They won Powder Springs back in September, but it looks like they kept long on going. Fair amount of hype about them around GA from what it seems. I didn't know much about them before Powder Springs but they seem to be moving in a good direction. Random video from this past weekend that seemed to make it's way to youtube:

Top Half Predictions:
1. Tarpon Springs H.S., FL (M, GE) 2. Dobyns-Bennett H.S., TN (V) 3. James F. Byrnes H.S., SC 4. Kennesaw Mountain H.S., GA 5. Bassett H.S., VA 6. Mooresville H.S., NC
Outside of the top five, I’m not very educated on any other bands attending this regional. Would have loved to see Wando, James Madison, Green Hope, Cleveland, North Hardin and Lafayette attend this someday. THEN it would be a southeastern Grand Nats!
Although I think Tarpon is favored to sweep, I could see DB splitting captions by winning GE or visual (the latter is more likely imo). Nevertheless, music is out of the question for any band not from Tarpon Springs, FL

I think that was the only cary band slated to be there. Lynchburg is a shorter drive and I'm hoping that one shifts back to winston.

What is keeping MFA from bringing a regional back to Winston Salem??? It was a great place for competitions and it certainly never had issues with enrollment. I get a little disappointed every year not seeing it on the list of regionals 😔

But I’ll take a regional in a dome. BB&T field is probably one of the best stadiums BOA had in their pocket that wasn’t a super regional or the Katy Regional. So much space and good acoustics as well.

Left a sour taste.

Wake is hardly known for its music programs, so I'm not sure what sort of advocacy they provide either. It may just be that with Covid they didn't want to take on another thing to deal with. Maybe next year if their football team doesn't have a home game.
