Alright, let’s toss out some **way too early** Obetz 2023 Predictions. For future predictions I’ll include notes on why I put certain bands at different places, but for now we’ll keep it sweet and simple.
1. Lakota West 76.40 2. Lindbergh 76.10 3. Miamisburg 74.32 4. Lawrence Twp 72.38 5. Campbell County 72.15 6. Beavercreek 70.76 7. Worthington Kilbourne 70.20 8. Madison Central 69.45 9. Westfield 68.50 10. George Rogers Clark 66.80 11. Archbishop Alter 65.45 12. Plainfield 63.32 FO: Mars Area (62.65)
Vis: Lakota West Music: Lindbergh GE: Lakota West
EXTREMELY early predictions so wouldn’t be surprised if this looks completely different by September.

Drop: Campbell County H.S., KY (switching to Louisville) Ah, bummer! I’m sure they had good reason for the switch but I looked forward to seeing how they would do in Obetz once again this year.

This really is shaping up to be quite the deep Regional. Lots of parity happening which is going to make this a really fun one to watch. Could see a lot of shifting from prelims to finals just like Toledo did last year. Very exciting high-end mid-tier Regional!

Could see a lot of shifting from prelims to finals just like Toledo did last year. Very exciting high-end mid-tier Regional! Parity is definitely the word. Potential finalists from the confirmed groups alone: Archbishop Alter Beavercreek Bourbon County Central Crossing Evansville North George Rogers Clark Lakota West Lawrence Township Lindbergh Madison Central Miamisburg Norton Reeths-Puffer Westfield Worthington Kilbourne That’s 15 out of 21, mostly pretty evenly matched across the board. The clear #1 to me is still Lakota West. I’ll buy fully into the Lindbergh hype if they have another great year. They made finals last year in an arguably weaker STL lineup, so I’ll be waiting to see what they do this year. Always down to see some new blood crowned regional champion!

It’s already been alluded to that this regional is packed to the brim, but I got confirmation from a director today that there are currently 32 bands enrolled here. Still missing 10!
Crazy that a couple years ago there were only 12.

Crazy that a couple years ago there were only 12. The lack of a Dayton event certainly boosts the attendance here. Southwest Ohio bands have one fewer "in the back yard" option than in previous years.

Confirmed: Goshen H.S., IN (private message from member) West did better than Goshen at Grand Nats (prelims and semis) but they will definitely give Lakota a run for their money. Not sure if they can pull another win or not with so many great groups attending.

Not sure if they can pull another win or not with so many great groups attending. You certainly can't sleep on them though either. They came out HOT last season and pretty much sizzled all Fall with their best show/performance ever imo for the band. Don't forget, they did technically win Prelims at Toledo over Rockford, Jenison, and Homestead. I'm sure they are hungry for more.

Bourbon County still doesn’t have a band director for this season. Will be interesting to see what happens to this program. Hopefully someone steps up ASAP!

31 bands currently registered - amazing what the lack of a Dayton regional does for enrollment in Columbus. Ten Cincinnati or Dayton area bands plus seven from Kentucky, many of which may have done Dayton instead if it was offered.

Have never been looking forward to this regional as much as I am this year. So many good bands, HUGE attendance numbers…what more could you ask for? Can’t wait to see how this event plays out in September! Will definitely be full of surprises!
