Interesting regional add. The biggest New Mexico band, Clovis is about 4 hours from the site. Not sure they’ll make the trip but I also can’t imagine MFA didn’t at least consult with them in adding this contest.
This contest will be a good one for El Paso bands. These bands want to burst onto the BOA/MFA scene but it’s a little difficult for them without taking a massive trip, and they have potential to do great. Americas is doing wonderful in the winter guard scene and I hope we see some El Paso marching talent burst into the scene with the push of this regional.

This would be a very interesting Mega Super Regional. I do think the majority of the bands will probably be from Texas and New Mexico, though. I could see several Colorado bands favoring this regional over Arizona. California bands will probably take advantage of their home regional that's made a comeback. It's also a very long trip for Utah bands, so I would imagine most would stick with the St. George regional. Kansas and Oklahoma, same thing -- pretty long trip, but I do expect a couple of surprises from the latter. Would love to see any of those Oklahoma bands attend. As far as Arizona bands, it'll be interesting to see how many make the trip considering their home regional is just two weeks after. I imagine there could be a few eastern and southern AZ groups that decide to make the trip. Definitely did not mean to rip that apart as much as I did haha. Just trying to make my self-imposed job a little easier. 😅 Definitely hope to see some surprises! |

Kansas and Oklahoma, same thing -- pretty long trip, but I do expect a couple of surprises from the latter. Would love to see any of those Oklahoma bands attend. I already know this list will most likely be shortened by 3/4 to the actual attendance due to the distance and timing. But having most of the bands at this regional would be wicked. Union, Coweta, and Jenks would have a shorter trip than going to the Flagstaff Regional in AZ as they did in the past. That's why I included some Oklahoma bands as it wouldn't seem like a huge problem. However for the Californian and Kansas schools, it was purely out of fun. Don't worry I love ur feedback yayband914. |

I would expect a very healthy showing from El Paso bands, all things point to it. With the incredibly anti-BOA fine arts director retiring, the fact that this regional has already popped up is a strong confirmation of whispers I’ve heard between El Paso programs and BOA.

Likely/Rumored (6): Oñate H.S., NM (AA) The LCPS School Board approved a vote in 2020 to change the name of O nate HS to Organ Mountain HS btw. The board said "the new name would reflect the mountain range east of Las Cruces named for the resemblance to the pipes of an organ." Organ Mountain HS had a really good year almost beating Clovis HS in ZIA MB Fiesta by 0.15 points, and placing third place at the NMSU Tournament of Bands. Can't wait to see them next year. |

I should mention that this will be the first BOA regional ever held in the state of New Mexico. In 2007, a BOA Regional was held in El Paso, won by Rampart HS CO. Now we just need to get a regional in Oklahoma. A BOA regional has never been held in that state. I hear Oklahoma has some pretty good bands  |

Colorado has a number of solid programs and a strong state circuit. The next several are a toss-up. Minnesota is propped up by Rosemount, the others have several good groups but no stalwarts. I didn't include Louisiana because the benchmark program Lafayette has been off the radar in recent years. |

It really is a crime there hasn't ever been a regional in Colorado, so many great programs that have a history of competing in BOA going back to the 90s with Pomona. There's a lot of hidden gems too, like we saw with D'Evelyn making finals at Midland. |

Post by thewho on Jun 21, 2022 14:28:24 GMT -6
Cannot confirm on the amount attending, but BOA will be sending their best staff to this regional. I would wager it would look something like Midland in the first year where the enrollment isn't quite as high, but still substantial.
Anyone on the fence about attending, you WILL get a taste of what a regional is ran by some of the most accommodating and experienced staff. I can assure that any questions by any programs will be answered directly from the horse's mouth. Late fee? Yeah, it's worth paying for this particular one.

Eight? Are they going by way of Dallas??? I just went by what Google told me, whether which way they go it’s still a long trip out there from San Antonio El Paso (and Las Cruces) is quite far. San Antonio is the closest triangle city to it and it very much is an eight hour jaunt. Los Angeles is about as close or maybe even closer than Houston is. |
