I only really follow A and B, so state qualifiers in performance order
Class A Brownsburg Carmel MPLT Avon Fishers Carroll Castle Goshen Center Grove Homestead (The last 2 spots were hard to choose and I could see Franklin Central, Zionsville, Columbus, Ben Davis or Floyd Central sneak in easily)
Class B Greenwood Greenfield Central Mount Vernon Jasper Bloomington North Northview Concord Northridge Munster EV North (I think North Side and Plymouth are legitimate choices as well. My gut is we see the North/South imbalance continue)

Is Ben Davis backsliding or are they just facing an uphill battle in a more competitive field (w/ Fishers, Goshen, Carroll, Brownsburg, etc.) I only really follow A and B, so state qualifiers in performance order Class A Brownsburg Carmel MPLT Avon Fishers Carroll Castle Goshen Center Grove Homestead (The last 2 spots were hard to choose and I could see Franklin Central, Zionsville, Columbus, Ben Davis or Floyd Central sneak in easily) Class B Greenwood Greenfield Central Mount Vernon Jasper Bloomington North Northview Concord Northridge Munster EV North (I think North Side and Plymouth are legitimate choices as well.

Is Ben Davis backsliding or are they just facing an uphill battle in a more competitive field (w/ Fishers, Goshen, Carroll, Brownsburg, etc.) I think it has more to do with the progression of the programs you noted and others than a decline by Ben Davis. Ben Davis leveled off about ten years ago. In this activity, remaining the same can appear to be "backsliding" because others are evolving.

Here’s my thoughts: Class A 1. Carmel 2. Avon 3. Castle 4. Fishers 5. Brownsburg 6. Homestead 7. Carroll 8. Center Grove 9. Goshen 10. Franklin Central (MPLT, Noblesville, Decatur Central, Ben Davis in the mix for final spots) Agreed on all of those, except switch Avon and Carmel.

It’s gonna be so close between Avon and Carmel.

All Are In Performance Order: A - Brownsburg
- Franklin Central*
- Carmel
- Avon
- Fishers
- Carroll
- Castle
- Goshen
- Center Grove
- Homestead
* Franklin Central is questionable. Seeing scores from both regionals, this could be their year if the cards are played right.
B- Greenwood
- Greenfield-Central
- Northside
- Jasper
- Plymouth
- Concord
- Northridge
- Munster
- FJ Reitz
- Evansville North
* As much as I want to put them in, I know every year there is an a upset and I think this year will have to go to Northview.
C and D I do not have an enough info on to make any predications other than C having Evansville Central Make it for the first time.

Here's another attempt to guess at this weekend's results, at least for Class A and B. It will be exciting to see who advances.
Class A
Carmel Avon Castle Fishers Brownsburg Homestead Carroll Center Grove
I can see a free-for-all for the last 2 finalists, from Goshen, Lawrence Central, Floyd Central, Franklin Central and Noblesville!
Class B
Greenfield Central Munster Greenwood Concord Jasper Evansville North Northside Plymouth Northview Mt. Vernon
GOOD LUCK to everyone!

Looks like the high for tomorrow is around 54-59 around the Indy area so stay warm everyone. Especially your instruments. Too often, it sounds bad and can be the difference for bubble bands. Fortunately, no rain is expected.

Fortunately, no rain is expected. Actually quite pleasant compared to some years. Heck, the high on regionals weekend in Indy was 57 with more wind. Of course the sun helped that day.

I remember going to Class B semi State the very first year at Warren Central and I believe it it never got warmer than 25 degrees. It was freezing! 🥶

1983 State Finals. Last year at Terre Haute. Freeeeezing cold up there in the stands. Two guys who were Forest Park alumni came to cheer on their band to a second place finish in Class D behind Paoli (they were fine as long as they finished ahead of Lewis Cass...ha!) found themselves surrounded by well layered Northrop fans by the end of the night. They'd only dressed for the earlier evening and were shivering badly. I remember Northrop band parents passing blankets and sweatshirts their way by the end of the night.
That was the first year finals was a 40 band show too.
