CONFIRMED: Franklin, TN Source: Trust me guys A very exciting and surprising addition. It's a shame this regional won't happen, though. Being nosy/greedy, do you know if they are attending any other regionals?

Being nosy/greedy, do you know if they are attending any other regionals? I was kidding lol, it'd be hilarious to have seen them come though. I just wanted to post something stupid since this regional is basically gone now I do talk with a few kids from Franklin about once a month or so, I'll post anything in appropriate threads if I hear anything valid. I assume Clarksville and Nats are already confirmed for them but outside of that idk. I'd love to see them take a trip to St. Louis soon though if they aren't already this year

I think when Cedar Ridge lost to Ayala in 2014, nobody out of state dares to venture to challenge them from such a distance. As well as there are better events to attend for a more well rounded trip, St George: Vegas/ Grand Canyon, Orlando: The parks, ect.

Hmmm, I would think that the majority of bands in the country don't go into events with the expectation that they will win.

But I am sure that set a precedence… maybe it has expired nearly 8 years later

Honestly despite how sparse this regional is I don't really mind it. I think Cali being so isolated from the rest of the country has allowed them to make their own little marching arts culture revoling around perc and indoor performances. It's definitely not ideal but imo it stands testimate to how diverse and flexible out activity can be.

There are reportedly approximately 10 more bands currently signed up for this regional that we're missing. Just a rumor I've heard.

If the rumor originated from a director of an attending or prospective group or someone from Music for All, I totally believe it. I totally believe it either way though, haha! I am hoping this regional stays running, but recent history hasn’t been kind to this one.

I realize this is a late addition to all the speculation, but BOA has always been able to draw in enough bands to justify a SoCal regional each year. It's typically pretty hard to speculate because:
1. Seriously, the late confirmation venue issue BOA has every year does hurt numbers pretty often early on. Many tend to hold out until a venue is selected.
1a. Even so, the venue choice can have a pretty large impact. There were a few years BOA got lucky and hosted in Long Beach, consequently seeing a pretty healthy number of competitors. Bakersfield nearly got canceled back in 2019 but was able to continue. See 2....
2. Cali is pretty divorced from the BOA world-but there is a healthy scene, just not as ingrained into BOA. There's still a healthy pool of bands that would seriously consider BOA, just they don't tend to come by fairly often, either because of logistics and cost efficiency (i.e. why pay $900 to travel 3-4 hours perform when that money could go elsewhere in more effective need).
There are a few BOA regionals that have probable cause to get written off occasionally, but SoCal really isn't one of them.

Keep in mind something hostrauser said earlier in the thread: California bands tend to finalize their schedules much later than most of the country. There may be quite a few bands planning to attend this event, but none of them have posted a calendar yet.

This has changed to a "date TBA" regional. This regional currently does not appear on the schedules page, after having been listed as "date TBA" on the schedule.

As far as volunteers are aware, there are no plans to host the regional in the fall.
Sad to see the regional fall to the wayside this year.
