After a transitionary year for the group, William Mason High School out of southwestern Ohio is back on top with their first regional championship title since October 1, 2016 at the BOA Toledo Regional.
Brownsburg (IN) came out in dramatic fashion, surging all the way into second place in today's regional championship—a definite "wow" moment from the day. After being third in prelims, the group jumped Lakota East (OH) to take the second place spot in tonight's show.
Lakota East (OH) has nothing to be ashamed of, though. They have definitely set themselves apart today with a fantastic show that embraces modern show design and fits right into the bands that we see often at BOA Grand National semifinals.
