The 2014 Long Beach, California, Regional was held Nov. 8 at Long Beach City College. Twenty-three bands from across the Southwest competed, and Ayala was named regional champion.
Analysis
We were very confident that Cedar Ridge would have this one in the bag. They had beaten Ayala at Grand Nats in 2013 and seemed to be an overall better band. We were wrong as Ayala won by almost a full point over Cedar Ridge. Even though Ayala won, we were really excited to see some serious competition at the Long Beach regional this year.
Predictions
Regional Champion: Cedar Ridge H.S., TX
