Found out that this show will not be at Legacy Stadium this year. Most likely will be in south Houston. 

[MadHornist]

It will be held on October 5 at Clear Creek ISD’s Challenger/Columbia Stadium in Webster, TX.  The 10,000 seat stadium has convenient access to I-45 off NASA Road 1.  

[WoodlandsMom4ever]

The way the south Houston bands have been growing lately I think this is great! 

[LeanderMomma]

Name change and location change verified!

Was this formerly the Katy regional?

yes I do believe so, but I'd imagine most if not all the regulars at the Katy will still come here

[Online Marcher]

I know this is kinda early, but any thoughts on who might be going to this competition?

I would Imagine most of the regulars at Katy will be here, but hopefully we get some more class A/AA rep that are closer to this stadium, but should be a real fun one to watch next season!

Hoping to see the same number of groups enroll into this contest as we saw when it was hosted at the Katy ISD stadium. The past couple years the Katy contest has had over 30 groups enroll and perform throughout prelims. The Katy location on the far west side of Houston was easier to justify for some of those groups to travel to with it being an easy straight shot to get there. I do wonder if the San Antonio and surrounding area groups who would travel to the Katy Contest will elect to pass in lieu of a different contest that isn't such a haul to the south side of Houston.

Does anyone have any insight or information on why it was moved to Clear Creek ISD and to the south side of Houston?

From going to the other regionals throughout the years in Austin, Dallas, etc. it seemed to me like the Katy location was a pretty solid spot for a contest with the dual stadium lots next to each other, size of the parking lots for trucks/busses, seating capacity, the acoustics (always fun to debate what's the best stadium), the box location, etc.  

[homerchap]

I saw this yesterday and thought maybe Houston was getting a 3rd BOA contest. It’ll be interesting to see if some people move over to the North Houston contest. The first time I ever saw Reagan was at North Houston  about 6 years ago

Typical Cy-Fair/Katy Groups, cedar ridge could return, wonder if the woodlands may return.

I also thought they could make a BOA Cypress to replace katy, possibly at the berry center, Gigantic stadium capacity, very big size parking capacity for the bigger vehicles.

I would imagine so. There aren't really any other close regionals except Austin and the other Houston one, so maybe they'd do that if that's closer? But I'd imagine they still will

100%! 

[MadHornist]

Bands traveling from outside of the Houston metro area might like to visit the Kemah Boardwalk for lunch if time permits.

Otherwise, Baybrook Mall is likewise conveniently located to the stadium.

Clear Creek ISD Challenger Columbia Stadium to Kemah Boardwalk - Google Maps

 

This is a good 20 minutes away from the stadium location, may not be possible. Baybrook Mall is most likely the safer option. See the comparison here.

For those of us traveling from the (far) north side of H-Town... yeesh... I wouldn't bet on it.  Almost quicker to avoid the traffic and drive to Waco.

Nothing is official until they submit their registration fee, and even then they can transfer that fee to Super Regional if they want to (there's a deadline for doing that).  Band directors add all kinds of stuff to their schedules while they wait for Football schedules to be released, then they pare down to what really works.

I believe your 2023 is taken steictly from Pre-lims and does not show finals for the bands who made it.

Cy-Fair 3rd, Pearland 4th, woods 9th, 7L 10th, etc.

It looks like it’s all actually based on prelims results?
