It sucks but the 15th is the only weekend WCU could have their competition due to fall break. I wonder why Winston Salem got moved to that weekend as well, football game maybe? Wake Forest has a home game on October 22. That’ll do it.

WCU will almost certainly take the hardest hit to their lineup of the three shows without Dobyns-Bennett or likely any of the heavy hitter SC bands being there. Who knows, maybe an NC band will finally win WCU

Of note, I see Mooresville listed as a possible attendee for both Johnson City and Winston. However, that 3rd weekend of October is historically when they host their home show and it has been that weekend for many years running. Hard to say what they are doing for certain though. As far as I can tell they do not maintain a band website and the website for their boosters has not been updated since literally 2001 yet is still somehow live.

Likely: Apex H.S., NC - (MB Competition) (Source) Band Calendar It just says competition. It would be most unlike them to do BOA. They don't even tend to compete in major locals other than Cary Band Day.

They don't even tend to compete in major locals other than Cary Band Day. Yea ik it say competition but isn't a BOA Regional an competition or not? There is an small possibility they might come as it is close to them. That's why I put them in likely and not very likely or confirmed, and until they have on their schedule they're going to an different competition then I or someone can drop them.

The part of your post I changed to bold is exactly what cornet means. This is a band that has never done BOA (including North Carolina Regionals in the past) and rarely does anything other than small local shows. Apex is NOT "likely" to attend this event. There are many, many bands that will probably never venture into BOA.

Randolph and Wayne Valley has never done BOA and now their going to NJ BOA Regional 2 very unlikely bands as they aren't so competitive going into an highly competitive standard competition. Plus Randolph only does one or two barely three USBands comp. and 1 independent invitational now that doesn't seem like an band that would gravite to BOA Regional. LIKE I said it doesn't matter at the end of day when the almighty calendar says something else I WILL DROP THEM! 😁😁😁😁. I'm done. Now have an nice day gentlemen.

You guys, there’s a reason the “Likely” list also includes — key word here — “Rumored” ensembles.
Unless we’d all like to change the name to “Likely/Rumored/Possible/Unlikely/Probably Not But Who Knows/But Still, Maybe” then let’s just take all the info with a grain of salt, like has always been said.

I would assume all of the Fort Mill bands in the "Likely" category for this one. Does not interfere with 3A/4A state. So they won't be going to Jacksonville or Orlando most likely, I guess Fort Mill could since they're 5A but probably won't. Could see some division if any of them want to go for the dome at Johnson City. That's what I assume Wando will do, at least. But that is just a guess.

Oh my gosh lighten up. I was pointing out that Apex is highly unlikely to go to winston. And the premise was that they had a competition on their calendar. That's not likely, it's not even rumored. I wasn't trying to be harsh but rather simply making a clarification. I would venture a guess that 80-90% of bands who compete will be in some competition on October 15. Here's the thing.... I'd like to see them do it. They are older school but they are good. Sort of the Casper Troopers of local marching band.

But since I was brought back into it, all due respect, I don’t think I am the one that needs to be told to lighten up here. (And I’m not talking about you.) I wasn’t even upset. Someone else’s case of OCD isn’t going to ruin my day. It’s all good!

I don't particularly want to wade very deep into this but I feel like the issue over the probability of some bands attending or not boils down to the usage of the word "likely" which the Oxford Dictionary defines as "having a good chance of happening or being something; probable or expected". Where a band like Cleveland certainly fits that definition, a band like Apex does not. But its really just an argument over semantics so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On a general note, I don't feel good about how I responded to that matter on this thread, so I apologize for that. No bad blood here. Apex is removed from the list. If they end up attending, great. If not, great. The world spins on! Go band!
