USBands Southwestern Championship 2023

[Arstneio]

The USBands Southwestern Championship will be held AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on November 7, 2023.

Looks like they pushed back the AT&T Classic to a later date and give it a bit of a rebranding to increase attendance

is this just a really unpopular competition or does it get overshadowed by UIL and BOA? i had never heard of this competition before this year

[RyanRaider22]

Ryan High from Denton is now attending. This is the first time they've attended a contest after area! Super proud to see all the growth from my Alma Mater!

[RyanRaider22]

North Forney, Mt. Pleasant and Ryan going up against Louisiana schools should make this an interesting contest especially after all the growth we've seen from these bands at Area contests.

I'm also interested to see how Lake Worth and South Hills performe as they've been getting stronger as well. Best of luck to all the bands competing at AT&T stadium. I hope more folks will start to talk about USBands. Apparently the band directors are loving them.

Brewer HS will also be in attendance. They were the champions last year so it will be interesting to see how they preform.
