Exactly two months until this contest! It's time for very early predictions. Rather than going through the headache of trying to guess placements, I'm making the predictions tier-based and in alphabetical order.
Medalist Contenders (1-4): Avon H.S., IN Carmel H.S., IN ---------- Castle H.S., IN Center Grove H.S., IN ---------- Other Finalist Locks (5-6): Lakota East H.S., OH Lawrence Township H.S., IN ---------- Likely Finalists (7-12): Anderson County H.S., KY Campbell County H.S., KY DeSoto Central H.S., MS Franklin Central H.S., IN Jackson County H.S., GA North Hardin H.S., KY ---------- Finalist Bubble (13-15): Decatur Central H.S., IN Floyd Central H.S., IN Ravenwood H.S., TN ---------- Everyone Else (16-26): Daviess County H.S., KY Finneytown H.S., OH Hamilton Southeastern H.S., IN Harrison County H.S., KY ---------- Oak Hills H.S., OH South Oldham H.S., KY West Clermont H.S., OH Woodford County H.S., KY ---------- Hamilton H.S., OH Meade County H.S., KY William Henry Harrison H.S., IN
A: Finneytown H.S., OH AA: Campbell County H.S., KY or North Hardin H.S., KY AAA: Lakota East H.S., OH AAAA: Avon H.S., IN or Carmel H.S., IN

By Alphabetical Order:
Finalist Locks (1-6): Avon H.S., IN Carmel H.S., IN Castle H.S., IN Center Grove H.S., IN Lakota East H.S., OH Lawrence Township H.S., IN
Likely Finalists (7-12): Anderson County H.S., KY Campbell County H.S., KY DeSoto Central H.S., MS Franklin Central H.S., IN Harrison County H.S., KY North Hardin H.S., KY
Finalist Bubble (13-15): Daviess County H.S., KY Decatur Central H.S., IN Floyd Central H.S., IN Ravenwood H.S., TN
Who Knows (16-27): Finneytown H.S., OH Fort Zumwalt West H.S., MO Hamilton H.S., OH Hamilton Southeastern H.S., IN Jackson County H.S., GA Meade County H.S., KY Oak Hills H.S., OH South Oldham H.S., KY West Clermont H.S., OH William Henry Harrison H.S., IN Woodford County H.S., KY
Some thoughts on a couple of the Kentucky bands: - Anderson County is currently going through a director change due to some unfortunate circumstances, but I doubt they fall from finals as the assistant has moved up as the head. - Harrison County received a major upgrade in hiring Bourbon Counties old director, Michael Stone, after an unfortunate circumstance (this seems to be a theme in Kentucky this year, sadly). - North Hardin missed State Finals last year, so I would expect them to be out for blood this year. - Daviess County was slatted to make State Finals last year, but missed because of a rogue judge, so I would assume that they're going to be gunning for anyone that made finals over them (Harrison County and Anderson County).
Some thoughts on non-Kentucky bands: - Avon is a question for me. They're going to be 1st or 2nd, that's obvious, but the question is how will Matt Harloff taking over as the head director and spending most of his summer with Crown set Avon up? - Has Lawrence Township bounced back from Covid?

Alright, let’s toss out some Kentucky Regional 2023 Predictions now that I’ve got a full list of attending bands (and performances times! Thank you!!!) Included scores cause why the heck not.
1. Avon 82.95 2. Carmel 82.80 3. Castle 77.12 4. Lakota East 74.65 5. Center Grove 74.30 6. Lawrence Twp. 72.40 7. Campbell County 71.75 8. Franklin Central 70.42 9. Anderson County 69.80 10. DeSoto Central 69.75 11. Decatur Central 67.60 12. North Hardin 65.30 <————————————> FO: Jackson County 64.45
Vis: Carmel Music: Avon GE: Avon
For some reason, I get this silly feeling in my stomach telling me Avons gonna make a statement and take gold. By the end of the season, Carmel might clean up better, but I’m just taking a harmless guess. I’m not super familiar with the bottom few bands I put in finals, so I based a lot of it off previous scores and general strengths/weaknesses I could find. Forgive me if I put someone in a place that looks like a toddler arranged the predictions 😅 As always, feel free to leave thoughts on what I said.

I know they just got a new director a couple years ago after some tough times but I thought they had been on an upswing lately? If anyone is going off Grand Nats scores to base their predictions on… something I just realized is that Campbell outscored Center Grove and Lawrence Township by a decent amount, which I think is interesting. But of course, late season is not early season. Though I do tend to agree that they will be around the 6th-8th mark.

I would say Desoto Central is a little low, but they tend to be a wild card from year to year so it’s anyone’s guess.

If anything, winning score may be south of 80…even for a Carmel or an Avon.

If Anderson County makes a dent, it will be a shocking, considering what is going on there. I did have someone tell me the band has been rehearsing daily. So who knows. I hope they don't suffer.
North Hardin is rebuilding!
Carmel 99.50 Avon 99.495

Or maybe inflation has finally hit BOA judging sheets🤪

North Hardin is rebuilding! Carmel 99.50 Avon 99.495 I concur on the Anderson County portion. Their assistant took over, but there is so much turmoil going on after the recent events that I would think it would be hard to put much focus on anything else. I was also told that their numbers were down as well, which doesn't bode well considering that their numbers have never really recovered after Covid.

I have been given way more information than I ever needed to know on this, and it's almost like an entire county divided. I'm just hoping for the best.

You aren't the only one, in both hoping for the best and being given way too much information on the situation. I can only hope that they are able to enjoy their season and the kids aren't harassed when they go back to school.

Do we want to take bets on if Carmel breaks 80? I will wager that Carmel "breaks" 80 - either up through it or down through it. I can confidently state that there is very little chance they score exactly 80.00.

Looks like Bourbon County is now on the participant list, and there's a slot listed as TBA before Harrison County on the schedule.

They just must not have updated the participants list since they dropped. Incidentally, a TBA is included before every official schedule.

Also, from what I saw last week, I’ll be surprised if Franklin Central makes finals, sadly (though they do have “benefit of the slot”). They still need a lot of polishing up.
