Knowing everyone's looking forward to BOA and semi state this week, how about some future ISSMA Regional news. Word on the street is the Chesterton regional site will be changed, to Carroll High School in Fort Wayne in future years. Simply a matter of formality and paperwork at this point.

Carroll does have a brand new stadium this year. And it makes sense to have it there when the NW corner of the state is almost a dead zone for bands in Open Class.

Hmmm this would make me strongly consider attending an ISSMA event again. The idea of Carmel coming to Fort Wayne is intriguing...

this would make sense. the only good open class band in the nw corner is munster, so there is not much reason for regionals to stay there.

The new facility at Carroll is state of the art. Also, the parking situation is so much more conducive to a good flow of bands and fans throughout the campus. A move to Carroll is in the best interest of ISSMA, as it shortens drive times for many bands that would attend.

Although that's soon to be fixed.

This would fulfill a wish that's been around since at least the mid 80s when there was no semi state, just sectional > Regional > State finals. Regionals were always increasingly more 'south' after Carmel was the Indy band shuffled to the North regional.
