Confirmed:
Camdenton H.S., MO (Band Calendar)
Collinsville H.S., IL (Band Calendar)
As far I can tell from their band calendar, this will likely be Camdenton's only BOA Event this year.

Rumor has it Lakota East may attend St. Louis. Really wonder how much they’ll be doing competitively with the addition of their combined Hawaii trip with Lakota West.

Last I saw (which I definitely wasn't supposed to see ) there was an early season regional, but we may have seen different schedules. I was going off the Google Calendar on their website. I did see they had a festival scheduled for Sept. 23, and the thought of Camdenton going to Chattanooga crossed my mind but I decided to just list their confirmation for St. Louis until they revealed more information about their 2023 schedule to the public. Camdenton does have all of their 2023 competitions listed as Marching Festivals on the website calendar, but it's pretty obvious that they're going to St. Louis as that's the only Marching Festival they have listed that spans 2 days. |

According to the website, 6A OBA is going to take place on October 28th, 2023...which means unless it ends up getting moved, we will be seeing either a new St. Louis Super Regional Champion for the first time since 2013 OR a new Oklahoma State Champion for the first time since 2002!
It also means this might be a drier year from an Oklahoma attendance standpoint. Not only BA has to make the decision on which to attend, but also other groups like Jenks, Bixby, Owasso, Mustang, Union, Southmoore, and Yukon. Also have to wonder if this will drive some of those groups to Indy, SA, or some of the other regionals.

Also have to wonder if this will drive some of those groups to Indy, SA, or some of the other regionals. Owasso's calendar makes note of a fall break the same week of the Indy Super Regional, so it wouldn't shock me to see them there. My Dream Scenario which likely won't happen: The Big Boys (BA, Jenks, Mustang, etc.) stay for OBA, groups like Coweta (who I think is 5A) & Choctaw go to St. Louis with a better chance of making finals, Blue Springs finally gets the elusive Super Regional win, and groups like Rosemount & Bentonville have a strong chance of medaling. If we do have a drier year for Oklahoma, hopefully it'll be made up for with an abundance of other groups. Illinois should have a pretty strong group of bands here (O'Fallon, Morton, Lincoln-Way, Prospect, Normal, possibly Marian Catholic), the lack of a major Southeastern Regional might drive some southern bands here, and maybe a couple Mountain Time Zone-based bands such as Clovis (NM) and Air Academy (CO) come here again. Broken Arrow attending San Antonio would be pretty interesting though. |

My money is on BA doing OBA. State means a lot more than Super Regional for the school. If they were to make that choice I wonder if we'll see them go to another BOA show they don't normally attend. Assuming they go to Nationals I can't see them not wanting to have feedback from a BOA panel earlier in the season. San Antonio perhaps?  |

Wasn't it this week in 2018?
Not a fan of weekday competitions. The one thing I hated about WGI is they often have prelims on Saturdays and Finals on Sunday especially for the power regionals. Makes doing school work and life a lot harder :/ Much rather the Friday / Saturday arrangement.

There should always be a Midwest super regional this late, if not later. The days of the Indy regional/super regional the weekend before GN were the best. |

The days of the Indy regional/super regional the weekend before GN were the best. I feel the same way about BOA San Antonio and the timing of it right before GN. Fantastic timing! I just wondered why St. Louis is so late this year. Surely there’s no conflict with using that nearly abandoned Dome of the Americas. 🤪 |

Now that I think of it, it’s probably more likely they are going to STL. They have nothing listed the weekend of San Antonio meaning they’ll most likely use their funds to go to St. Louis instead, seeing as UIL state is paid for by the district. Also from what I remember, I heard someone mention SLC intends on going to STL every two years |
