About
The 2014 Dayton, Ohio, Regional was held Sept. 27 at Welcome Stadium. Twenty-seven bands from eight different states competed and at the end of the night, William Mason was named regional champion.

Analysis
At first glance, we noticed groups like consistent Grand National finalist William Mason and other prominent groups such as Centerville and Grand Nationals Class A Champion Bellbrook. The middle to bottom of this competition was impossible to predict. There were so many groups that deserved to be in finals and not enough spots for them. Ultimately, the fact that the point spread between first and second is equal to the spread between fourth and ninth pretty much sums up this competition.
