Heath competed last year for the first time since 2014 (I don't know their history prior to that). They qualified for OMEA state finals, and at finals, they got a superior rating from all judges. That said, at their final scored show two weeks earlier they were given 80.8, and their performance at finals wasn't vastly better than that, so as I suggested last year, their defining quality was consistency. An 81 in OMEA probably translates to a 60-62 in BOA. And that was at the end of the season. That said, on the weekend last year that this year's Columbus regional last year is happening, Heath scored a 78.8 in an OMEA competition. So I'd like to predict a score of 55-60 at this event, but based on some other bands who I thought were worthy of a similar score when I saw them at early season BOA regionals in the past, I suspect they'll be scored in the low 50s.

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.
I think the top 3 will be somewhat close, but given Goshen’s momentum over the last few seasons, I’m going to give them the edge for this show. I think Bourbon County will be just fine, even with the director change. Lawrence Township seems to be a wild card lately, but I’m confident they’ll comfortably be in finals.
Medalist Contenders (1-5): Goshen H.S., IN Lakota West H.S., OH ---------- Lindbergh H.S., MO Madison Central H.S., KY Miamisburg H.S., OH ---------- Finalist Locks (6-8): Beavercreek H.S., OH Lawrence Township H.S., IN Westfield H.S., IN ---------- Finalist Bubble (9-15): Archbishop Alter H.S., OH Dublin Coffman H.S., OH Reeths-Puffer H.S., MI Worthington Kilbourne H.S., OH ---------- George Rogers Clark H.S., KY Louisville Male H.S., KY Plainfield H.S., IN ---------- Everyone Else (16-29): Bellbrook H.S., OH Central Crossing H.S., OH Dixie Heights H.S., KY Fairfield H.S., OH Hilliard Bradley H.S., OH Mars Area H.S., PA Norton H.S., OH ---------- Archbishop Carroll H.S., OH Grayson County H.S., KY South Point H.S., OH Walter E. Stebbins H.S., OH ---------- Greenon Jr./Sr. H.S., OH Heath H.S., OH LaRue County H.S., KY
A: Archbishop Alter H.S., OH AA: Miamisburg H.S., OH AAA: Goshen H.S., IN AAAA: Westfield H.S., IN

Wanted to touch on the top 4 places for this regional a bit! Currently, my locks are Goshen and Lakota West, and then either Lindbergh, Lawrence Twp., or Miamisburg taking the other top spots. When looking at West vs Goshen, it’s tough to figure out who will top who. If we go by stats and previous years scores, west has the upper hand. They tend to perform very well early season, have decently high GE for the first week of BOA season, and have also placed above Goshen a good amount (primarily looking at Grand Nats, where they placed above them in prelims and semis, prelims being a full point above and having GE placing them 4 places further than they even scored overall). Goshen has also had some huge leaps and bounds in recent times. Winning the Toledo Regional in Prelims last year, they’ve demonstrated their capabilities in BOA Judging Sheets and know what to put in their shows. In complete honesty, they probably have more consistent design criteria than West does, but I have no idea what this year will be like for them. As a side note, Lawrence Twp. Could totally come in and wipe the competition if they bounce back from a “less competitive” few seasons. So, who do I see winning? With stats and general design early season, I’d say Lakota West has it. They’ve won 2 years in a row, and as they continue to get more and more competitive, I doubt they plan on giving up the win without a tough fight. Goshen knows what they’re doing, so whoever wins it probably won’t be scoring much higher than the group right below them. Would love people’s thoughts. Really excited to see how things play out - finals are tight, and it would be a lot of fun to see some early season stir-ups with placements!

Beavercreek is probably in the top 10 bands going to Obetz, but it's in that bubble of bands that could range anywhere from 4th - 9th place.

How long has Hilliard Bradley been attending BOA regionals While Bradley is a relative newcomer, off and on for the last 10 years, Hilliard Davidson has been a frequent participant off and on for decades. Before the suburban population boom hit Hilliard, there was just one high school, Hilliard. In 1979, Hilliard made Grand National Finals. They were a Class A band back then and in the 70s the top 6 Class A bands were advanced to Finals. It was their only appearance in Finals but did mark the first time an Ohio band made Grand National Finals. As Hilliard grew during the following decades, more high schools had to be built. I believe the original Hilliard was renamed Hilliard Davidson.

I believe the original Hilliard was renamed Hilliard Davidson. You are correct, what was once "Hilliard High School" is now Hilliard Davidson. Hilliard Darby opened in 1997, and then Bradley opened in 2009. In recent times, Bradley has been by far the most active of the schools both in MSBA and in BOA. Both Davidson and Darby basically compete solely in OMEA. Bradley's director was previously the assistant director at Dublin Coffman when they were more active in BOA, including their one semifinals appearance.
