Nice topic. Would anyone like to make an attempt on the California Medal Count for BOA (in AAAA, AAA, AA, A). I'm curious. It should be a battle between Etiwanda, Upland, and Ayala, right?
Doing a class count for BOA Regionals would be a little pointless since 90% of the CA bands are in the top class (and the classifications have shifted over the years). Also, BOA Regionals are prelims/finals.
SO, based on BOA Regionals FINALS...
BOA MEDAL COUNT (Gold/Silver/Bronze)
10 Etiwanda (8/1/1)
10 Upland (4/3/3)
8 Ayala (5/1/2)
5 Clovis West (1/1/3)
3 William S. Hart (1/1/1)
3 Vista Murrieta (0/3/0)
3 Diamond Bar (0/1/2)
2 Beyer (1/1/0)
2 Mission Viejo (1/1/0)
2 El Toro (0/2/0)
2 Valley View (0/2/0)
1 Poway (0/1/0)
1 Fountain Valley (0/0/1)
1 Rancho Buena Vista (0/0/1)
1 San Marcos (Santa Barbara) (0/0/1)
This is based off recaps on BOA's site, which go back to 1985. Let us not forget that Live Oak HS from Morgan Hill won BOA National Championships in 1976 (the very first BOA National Championship!) and 1978, and won BOA Class Championship in 1977.
