I'll start - what show have you not yet seen this year that you are most excited to see? For me, it's Floyd Central. I really don't know much about them, so am excited to welcome them to Finals!

I got to see them at the Indy Super Regionals this year. It's a solid built show. Both accessible and entertaining. Honestly, I'm looking forward to a few bands that haven't been before including Jimtown and Princeton. Welcome! Also curious how Evansville North does because I really liked that show in Indy Supers too.

Also Bloomington North - where I marched back in the olden days of the 1970s.

This is their first back to back state finals since the 80s and first state appearance was in 1974.

It just goes to show just how long it's been since I've actually attended State Finals lol. I've always been busy covering/watching San Antonio Super Regionals. Glad to return this year though!

This is their first back to back state finals since the 80s and first state appearance was in 1974. A little Princeton history. Something I found posted on FB about Princeton history. Rephrased a few words. Princeton fell off the radar for a while but are making a steady come back. Amazing read! It’s been 36 years since back to back state finals!!!! Wow this ones for the books!!! Princeton band, went to state (b2b), and placed in rank two consecutive years, one in 76 (1st place state), next in 77 (2nd place state). Almost 10 years later the 85 & 86 amazing Princeton band went to State consecutively (b2b). Fast forward NOW to almost 36 years with making it past Semi in 2019 and placed 9th. 2020 zero performances due to COV and now 2021 they are heading back to state! What an amazing opportunity and blessing this is for the Princeton band. A chance to repeat a historical monument of consecutive (b2b) state finalists, this time…COVID style !!!! The 19 (20) 21 team, will forever be known as the next generation legends to the new norm, set in motion 46 years ago!!! Princeton Community Bands - Princeton, Indiana!! You all are awesome!!! What an achievement ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊💕💕💕🐝🎉 God has SMILED upon you all!!!!

I forgot to ask, Why did ISSMA take 11 bands from the North Regional and 9 Bands from the South Regional in Class C?

1. Avon 2. Carmel 3. Castle 4. Brownsburg 5. Homestead 6. Fishers 7. Carroll 8. Center Grove 9. Noblesville 10. Floyd Central
I, too, give Avon the nod due to performance draw, but am betting that Carmel flips the result next week at GNs.

Avon/Carmel certainly a toss-up - I think Fishers/BB will be an equally interesting battle.

Carmel got really unlucky with the draw, it will be interesting to see if they will be able to set a high enough bar to beat Avon.

Holy Cow.... What happened to Paoli?

Holy Cow.... What happened to Paoli? They did not have a very good run. Could have been nerves but nothing seemed to gel together today for them.

It does make me scratch my head but then Class D has always been a bastion of chaos. Also, welcome back!

Wow, Paoli was unexpected. As well as Fairfield. Congratulations to Lewis Cass on another State Title.

Question for those at Lucas Oil today. Are the lines for concessions 20 people deep like they were for Indy SR, or are things flowing better? Just trying to figure out things for tonight.
