On September 28, 1996, Webster joined 20 other bands in the Bands of America (BOA) Regional Championships competition in Charleston, West Virginia. All 21 bands competed in the preliminary competition which ran from 10:30am until 4:30pm. It rained (sometimes poured!) during the entire preliminaries.

The top 10 bands returned for a second performance in the finals competition. By then the rain had stopped and the sun even peeked out a few times. Webster's preliminaries performance placed them in the top 10, and they drew the 10:00pm (last) slot for their finals performance.
