BOA Shenandoah Preview

This weekend, we have the first of two regionals in the Houston area. This show takes place in Conroe ISD’s Woodforest Bank Stadium in Shenandoah, TX. BOA initially planned the Houston regional split for the 2020 season before COVID-19 had its way with the activity, so 2021 was the first year we saw the two separate regionals…

BOA Iowa Preview

BOA Cedar Falls at the UNI Dome is dead. From its ashes has risen the BOA Iowa Regional, located roughly two hours away by car in Waukee, Iowa at Northwest High School. It’s 40 hours if you got the whole band together and marched from one to the other, which is what Google Maps must have assumed I was planning on doing when it gave me the walking distan…

BOA Austin Preview

Well, it’s that time of the year again, the final weekend of September. The weekend where BOA Austin at the Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex (or “Da KRAC” as the kids say) has been held every year since 2013. With bands in the Austin area improving drastically over the past decade, this Regional has quickly become probably the most competitive regular Regi…

Midwest Preview 9/24

During the fall, marching band invitationals are held across the nation. Most of them are run by a local high school or school district. These events are important to these band programs as fundraisers for the host and a chance for smaller schools that may not be able to participate in major events like USBands or Bands of America.

Going west to the west side of the United States, there are fewer contests before October, but we still have a decent amount this week. There are no contests in California, where a majority of the bands that you will recognize from this half of the country are from, but there are still some exciting events to keep your eyes on…
