The Western Carolina University marching band competition will be held on October 14th, 2023.
Not an official affiliate event, but traditionally utilizes BOA sheets and is often included in the HornRank results.

Hopefully this year the lineup will be larger and more filled out with higher tier groups since they aren't, at the moment, going up against one (or two last year) BOA shows in the region.

I think this show could be very popular with w/ the 1a-4A SC bands since they will not be able to attend Orlando, Johnson City, Newark regionals the following weekend bc of upper state.
That is unless BOA does add a show

Something that has never happened that I would love to see happen is for Tarpon Springs to come up to WCU. Looks like about a 9 hour trip. Could be something different to do in a non-GN year for them, I'm sure a lot of those students don't know what Fall in the mountains looks like. As far as I can recall Florida has never been represented at WCU.

Green Level moved to Potential, as they are considering the Carolina regional.

Anyone think it'd be possible for Tarpon to skip Orlando this year in favor of Johnson City? Winning Orlando seems like a long shot with Broken Arrow in attendance.

Winning Orlando seems like a long shot with Broken Arrow in attendance. I definitely think it’s possible, in fact I think it’s more likely than not.

I definitely think it’s possible, in fact I think it’s more likely than not. They would have to know in advance that Broken Arrow is going. And one of the only ways to find out right now would be to read this forum. Are there any staff or students are creeping on here…? 👀

I've been out of the loop on North Carolina bands for so long that I'm honestly not sure how to forecast this competition. I assume Catawba Ridge will win, but beyond that, I have no idea. My peeking online from last year says other finalists will be Smithfield-Selma, Boiling Springs, Mill Creek, Dorman, Hillgrove, Bassett, Cox Mill, Marvin Ridge? Cuthbertson? Help me out.

I just realized Catawba is doing both this and BOA, apparently. That’s gonna make for a busy day considering they will handily make finals at both shows, unless they are skipping WCU finals in favor of BOA.

There is no way CR is doing both at a 5hour distance between them. I bet they’re just doing Coastal Carolina.

WCU does have a tendency to be slow in updating their website so it wouldn't surprise me if the schedule doesn't get updated for awhile if Catawba Ridge is doing BOA instead.
