2024 BOA Las Cruces NM (Sept. 21)

[LeanderMomma]

I’m adding this contest because of the number of Texas bands attending. I love that the addition of this contest to the BOA schedule allows so many of our west Texas friends to attend a BOA competition.  The 2024 New Mexico Regional will be held on Sept. 21 at Aggie Stadium on the campus of New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM.

I've had the chance to watch Group 1 (group before the break) and here is my personal rankings-

Eastlake
Volcano Vista
Andress
Del Valle
Bel Air
Los Alamos
Valencia
Mayfield
Alamogordo
Thatcher

 

I really enjoyed Eastlake's show! I could see them having a chance to advance to State if they keep performing as well as they did in prelims! Volcano Vista had a really fun show and I really loved the Egyptian theme for Andress! Can't wait to see group 2!
