About
The 2014 Jacksonville, Alabama Regional was held Oct. 11 at Jacksonville State University. Sixteen bands from across the Southeast competed, and Harrison was named regional champion.

Analysis
After the Jacksonville regional was moved to Powder Springs in 2013, Music For All decided to hold both events this year. With a two week gap between Powder Springs and this regional, we got to see how much these top groups can improve in only two weeks of rehearsal. The biggest story from these two regionals is that Harrison is solidly on top of all other Cobb County bands. For the past couple of years, Harrison and Kennesaw Mountain have been attending different regionals, so it was hard to compare them, but this year, we can say for certain that Harrison is the better group. Another interesting note it Fort Mill. Fort Mill has shown solid improvement the past couple of years and we would love to see them take a trip to Grand Nats soon to see how they stack up against the nation's top competition. Also, we were really excited to see East Coweta. Their Powder Spring prelims performance had some severe technical difficulties resulting in huge penalties and pushed them far out of finals. Their Jacksonville performances were very captivating performances free from those painful difficulties.
