Besides the host school, other notable attendees include Southern California state champions and 2022 National champions Sierra Vista Middle School, previous Southern California state champions Jeffrey Trail Middle School, and previous Southern California state champions Kraemer Middle School.

Among the test writers, many were former Orange County School of the Arts competitors, although others came from Troy High School, Northwood High School, and Temple City High School. Food trucks were stationed nearby to serve wonderful tacos to the competitors.
