Eh, they're close enough to Illinois. We'll annex them! a lot of Indiana is "might as well be Illinois/Kentucky/Michigan/Ohio"...pretty much if it isn't Indy and surrounding, it probably wants to not be Indiana in Dixon Indiana there's an outdoor warning siren that's controlled by Van Wert County Ohio

1. Avon, IN (GE) 2. Carmel, IN (M) 3. Mason, OH (V) 4. Wando, SC 5. Fishers, IN 6. Brownsburg, IN 7. Castle, IN 8. Carroll, IN 9. Owasso, OK 10. Homestead, IN 11. Noblesville, IN 12. Lincoln-way, IL 13. Center Grove, IN 14. Bixby, OK
If blue springs comes, i see them 4th and everyone below down one. if Centerville comes i see them 14 or 13, either way kicking Bixby out. i think the top 3 (or 4 with BS) is tight and about 2.5 above Wando. I’m not confident that Wando is too far ahead of Fishers and Brownsburg. If they travel well and it’s not a factor for them then i think they got 4th locked up. if they are not locked in i could see them falling to 5th or 6th. i think Fishers and Brownsburg will be the closest they have been in the last few years- literally fractions of a point apart all season. i have fishers slightly above them for ISR and issma, but brownsburg above for grand nats (both still in finals). Some might think i have Carrol to high, i think i’m under valuing them. i freaking love Carrol. 9 to the first few out could literally go any way. i’m not confident in anything below Carrol lmao. one day Hamilton Southeastern will make finals here and it will make my year 💙

Indy super hasn’t been as wild with scoring as it was prepandemic IMO judging has been consistent.
Id be shocked if Wando were to be able to break the Avon Carmel Mason triad and Blue Springs - they are all consistent top 6 GN finalists.
With that said, Wando’s winds and guard were really on pointe last year and I see no reason why they’d be any worse than they were any year since 2021.

Yeah I’m not quite sure where Wando could place. Definitely not top 3, and are they good enough to beat out Fishers and Brownsburg? Maybe. Last year I dont think they would’ve, but who knows. At the very least they’ll be top half, and the SC homer in me is hoping for 4th or better.

They have listed 84 bands (the limit defined in the adjudication handbook). Based on the enrollment numbers posted yesterday, this means there are six bands that signed up who are not currently included.

Brandon Valley, SD is not on the list updated yesterday. Interestingly enough, since last month, the Brandon Valley band website still had the SR on their master calendar. Just recently, the site was updated (really nice update too, much easier to navigate) and figured ok, so if they're not going, I'm sure it's been taken down by now. Checked this morning, and the SR is still on the calendar. I know what MFA puts out is the official list, but the fact the discrepancy between the two sites has been going for this long has been fascinating to me at least

July 24 update Add Bishop Noll Institute, IN This puts the list at 85 bands WAIT WHAT?! That is not a name I ever thought I would see, well, anywhere. They were formerly under the direction of Rocco Carioto, who unfortunately passed away in February. He was a former director at several schools in Illinois as well. Their 2024 program is "AngelUs: The Angels Around Us" and is a tribute to Rocco. Repertoire: "Old One-Hundredth" - Trad. Louis Bourgeois "Danse Macabre" - Camille Saint-Saëns "Gabriel's Oboe" - Ennio Morricone "Fix You" - Coldplay Also, fun fact: My dad graduated from BNI in 1958. Fun fact #2: Bishop Noll is a past Summer Nationals finalist, under the direction of longtime Illinois area director Mike Madonia.

Early Finals Predictions:
1. Avon, IN
2. Carmel, IN
3. Blue Springs, MO
4. William Mason, OH
5. Wando, SC
6. Brownsburg, IN
7. Fishers, IN
8. Castle, IN
9. Bixby, OK
10. Owasso, OK
11. Lincoln-Way, IL
12. Centerville, OH
13. Choctaw, OK
14. Center Grove, IN
-----------------------------
First Out: Homestead, IN
Coming off a Grand Nationals victory last year, I see no reason to drop Avon below Carmel, though that could very easily change. Blue Springs placing over the Woodlands in finals at Grand Nats last year surprised me, but they consistently do very well at BOA events and ended 2nd at St. Louis last year, so I feel that 3rd is a fair spot. William Mason is a constant top 5 band at Indianapolis, so I have them at 4. Wando is attending this year and I'm not really knowledgeable on them, but from what I do know, I think 5 is a good spot for now. Realistically, 3-5 could be put in any order and it would make perfect sense. Brownsburg and Fishers round out my pre-season top 7 and are consistent top 7 bands at Indy. Castle starts the last 7 at the 8 spot for me and could realistically be anywhere from 7-10. I'm not really well-researched on Oklahoma bands besides Broken Arrow, but from what I do know, I think Owasso and Bixby are pretty much interchangeable here. Even with them missing finals last year, I have Lincoln-Way as a near finals lock in the 11 spot. With them attending BOA Grand Nationals this season and with them marching in the 2025 ToR Parade, along with their relatively recent success at Indy and Grand Nats (2022), I have a lot of faith in their show this year. Centerville had a great season last year and I could definitely see them climbing in the results at Indy this year, but I have them in that 10-12 range for right now. I have Choctaw and Center Grove rounding out the finals predictions, with Homestead just missing out. I was impressed with their shows last season and have hope for them this year. I have Homestead just missing out right now, but I think that 13-15 are pretty much interchangeable for me.

ISSMA consistently uses the EV or Evansville indicator for all the Evansville schools (Central, Harrison, Bosse), but not FJ Reitz.

Wando was still on the list updated on the MFA site as of Tuesday. That being said, those lists aren't always completely accurate and/or the decision to not attend Indy Super was made too recently to be reflected by the latest change.
