From what I've heard/seen, it sounds like Coppell is going. If that’s true, it’s looking more and more like the top 10 in finals are gonna be darn near impenetrable. Coppell is a very stable and steady program, based on their last several years it’s safe to say they’re another finalist “lock” if they’re added to the list.

From what I've heard/seen, it sounds like Coppell is going. I live in the area and am hearing the same. Very excited if this goes through, the directors and administrators there have been discussing a Grand Nationals trip for awhile now but decided to take a couple trips to St. Louis first to prepare the students and program.

After looking at a few band's calendars, I think it's safe to say that the Austin Regional will be held September 23rd.
Rosemount will be attending whatever Super Regional is held on October 20th-21st, whether that be St. Louis or Indianapolis.

I can’t remember if it’s already been talked about, but is there any chance of STL and Indy being on the same weekend next year? I do remember a conversation about Indy possibly being the weekend before Grand Nationals?

So State has to be the last weekend in October. Semi State is usually that week before, but maybe it could be two weekends before and Indy Super is in the middle?

The current schedule from ISSMA shows: Open Regional Marching: October 7 Scholastic Finals: October 14 Open Semi-State: October 21 Open State Finals: October 28 It IS feasible to have Indy that weekend, but not likely. My guess is St. Louis 10/21 and Indy 10/14. We'll find out around the 19th! Late season Midwest regional somewhere else? Look at a Champaign regional? It was briefly discussed like 5 years ago...

I can't imagine that Indy Super would be the same weekend as Open Semi-State. That basically requires all of the Indiana Open Class bands to forego ISSMA competition that year. I don't see a band like Brownsburg competing Friday afternoon at LOS, Saturday at Ben Davis in Semi-State and then again Saturday night in Finals.

From a director.
Some confirmed Midwest BOA regional dates:
9/16 - Louisville 9/30 - Clarksville and Toledo 10/7 - Obetz 10/14 - Youngstown 10/21 - Indy Super 10/28 - St. Louis Super
I would create separate threads for each of these shows, but I think it wise to wait until the "unofficially official" dates are released by BOA within the next couple of weeks.

Indy interferes with ISU again, but that's okay because we have a late(ish) Midwest regional again, for the first time in 6 years! Schedule is traditionally released at Midwest, which is the 19th through the 22nd.

Second this. It's pretty unrealistic to me that Indy Super matches up with ISSMA Semi-State. It's gotta be 10/14 for Indy Super unless BOA is confident they'd be able to pull in a decent number without the Indy bands (which isn't completely out of the realm of possibility).

Then Cam is either incredibly confident in their ability to draw or amazingly unable to read a calendar. Maybe she promised the Indiana big dogs a good spot in the “random draw”. When we see a loaded noon block we will know.

How often is St. Louis after Indy? 2018, but that's the only time ever. Generally the same weekend or the weekend prior. Indy (prior to the extra weekend of the ISSMA schedule being instituted) was almost always the weekend prior to GN and St. Louis was mid-October.

If the information above is correct we'll probably see SF Lincoln at Lucas Oil Stadium, one way or another next year.

Why do I feel like they're going back to the past. Piscataway Regional, then Whitewater, and now Youngstown. What's next a Moscow Regional?

When we see a loaded noon block we will know. Given the way the ISSMA semi-state performance times are assigned, there wouldn't be any way to "randomize" an Indy SR draw until AFTER the semi-state draw unless all the Indiana schools are guaranteed Friday SR prelims performances. That is certainly in the realm of possibilities and would likely create a loaded Friday evening block with all the other heavy hitters assigned to the opposite panel based on the published procedure for SR panel balancing.

Indy (prior to the extra weekend of the ISSMA schedule being instituted) was almost always the weekend prior to GN and St. Louis was mid-October. The 2018 St. Louis Super Regional was a very good one. Blue Springs going toe-to-toe with Broken Arrow, and Lincoln-Way, Clovis, & Weiss all having outstanding showings were the highlights. That being said, I'm not sure if we'll see much, if any, participants from Texas at St. Louis next year since that'll very likely be the same weekend as UIL Area (at least for 6A). OBA is also traditionally that last weekend of October, but they'll probably do what they did in 2018 and move it up a weekend.

Yet another reason that Indy SR and ISSMA semi-state should never be scheduled on the same weekend.

I love my Texas bands, but I wouldn't mind giving the Midwest bands a little more room to breathe. I hope Camdenton will make it up this coming season. I wish they would have this year! I'd also really like to see some Southwest bands make it over.

We saw this year that a lot of bands are more than willing to skip Area if it isn't a state year (and the every year state thing almost definitely won't start in 2023), so I wouldn't count out the 6A bands from going, as well as a lot of 5As dipping their toes into BOA now that could really make some noise here. Argyle would not surprise me at all knowing their eventual goals for BOA.
