Wow. For a new regional it doesnt seem like they are strugfling to find participating bands! Agreed. This is going to be a very strong regional, and with its success already, it could be a permanent location (at least in the same region).

I know we’re just over the amount of finalists with the bands currently confirmed, but this regional is of particular interest to me being so new and already attracting some big names, and potentially some new ones, too. Who do we think is making finals so far?
My predictions in ABC order:
Bellevue East H.S., NE Blue Springs H.S., MO Blue Springs South H.S., MO Blue Valley West H.S., KS Eastview H.S., MN Greendale H.S., WI Lincoln H.S., SD Lockport Township H.S., IL Morton H.S., IL Rosemount H.S., MN
Obviously if O’Fallon and Prospect attend, they are both locks.

A director I know spilled some tea from an MFA rep during indoor bang and blow finals. There are currently 26 bands enrolled at this regional. Official lists should be out early May. Obviously take all of this with a grain of salt.

Way-Too-Early Class AA-AAAA predictions
Class AA:
1. Greendale 2. Camdenton 3. Morton
Class AAA:
1. Rosemount 2. Lincoln 3. Prospect
Class AAAA:
1. Blue Springs 2. O'Fallon Township 3. Lockport Township

It looks like Prospect will not be attending this regional. They will instead compete at the Red & Black Classic in DeKalb that weekend.

Also, just Blue Springs, Lockport Township, O'Fallon Township, and Rosemount filling out the AAAA groups. Sorry, Lockport... finals, but no medal!
AND... 15 out of 27 bands are in AA. Nuts.

A great mix of familiar BOA bands and groups we haven't seen before - location, location, location.
