As we enter the mid-way point for the 2017 Bands of America season, things are starting to get more exciting! At this weekend's BOA Dayton Regional, 24 bands will head to Welcome Stadium in the backyard to the mecca of Winter Guard International (WGI), University of Dayton Arena.
During Saturday's show, you'll be able to see a couple bands take the field for their second time in Bands of America competition, like: Miamisburg (OH), Firestone (OH), Licking Valley (OH), Olentangy (OH), Dublin Coffman (OH), and last but not least, Avon (IN).
Avon (IN) and Carmel (IN) met at the top during last year's Bands of America Grand National Championship. The two tied in overall score which launched the tie-breaking procedures resulting in a win for the Carmel Marching Greyhounds at Lucas Oil. The tie-breaker relies on the higher General Effect (GE) score between the two bands, in which Carmel held by a mere .30 points.
Let's check in with Avon and Carmel and see what they're up to this season!
Show Title: "TEST4MENT"
Music:
Symphony No. 4 by David Maslanka
We got our first look at Avon this season at the BOA Northeast Ohio Regional, where they ended up on top of the pack with an impressive 76.10 to start off the season. Over the last few weeks they have been honing their skills in preparation for the Fishers Invitational at Fishers High School and their own Avon Invitational where they hosted over 30 bands at their home stadium. Their biggest strength so far this season seems to be their General Effect (GE) and if the students rise to the occasion, they could manage to push themselves into the top spot.
Check out their battery in prelims warm up at BOA Northeast Ohio.
Show Title: "Serenity"
Music:
Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Paert
Meditation From Thais by Jules Massenet
Original music by Richard Saucedo / Michael Macintosh
​From just up the road of Avon, Carmel will be making their 2017 Bands of America debut this weekend in Dayton. They have certainly been pushing to start off the BOA season strong, even in the presence of one of their closest competitors. Recently, you could have caught Carmel perform in their own Homecoming parade on September 15, or the Greenwood Invitational on September 23 where the group ended up taking first!​
If you simply can't wait until this weekend to see Carmel perform, check out this video of their parade walk from their Facebook page!
