I'm going to go on a quick rant for a moment about two things. First on how much of a freaking RACKET Ticketmaster is? $22 ticket....but after fees, $33.20. More than HALF the cost of the original ticket which is absolute BS! Even with the "free delivery". *Very strong curse words directed right towards them*
Secondly, the way that ISSMA does the seating in and out is ATROCIOUS. I get you don't want groups of people saving and warding people off large rows or blocks so that every parent can get a nice/good seat to see their kids performance. But when am I supposed to run to the bathroom ISSMA? WHEN?! Look away while I pee in my Colts souvie cup.....

And if you ask any of the staff you do see, be prepared to get *shrug*. The security doesn't even know which gates they'll open for the screenings so you get like 5 or 6 lines for 2....maybe 3 gates that open. Ready to roll those dice? Plus, I'm disabled and can't have my raggedy butt trying to hustle around the stadium and then "lose" that prime seating cause those lines do form EARLY. Finally, I already plan on being there early as is to get in those lines asap as well as staying for the entire day. That's a drive from Fort Wayne, all day event, drive back. I guess that is all just a long way of saying, I miss when you could buy the tickets through the band.

I was on my phone and didn't want to type much so I was super brief.
I completely agree with you regarding Tickermaster fees on events and wish there were more reasonable options for buying tickets without having to pay exorbitant fees. I'm a little farther away from Indianapolis than you, and we haven't decided how we're buying tickets yet. We bought our Super Regional tickets at the box office, and it wasn't too much of a hassle. However, we were able to park in the south lot behind Lucas Oil so it wasn't far to walk. With that lot likely being closed this weekend, it'll be a farther trek for us.
Speaking of long drive and Fort Wayne, I drove my son to his ISSMA ensemble performance in Indianapolis back in February. Afterwards he suggested we go to this really cool guitar shop not too far away. We ended up going to Sweetwater's headquarters which made for a super long drive home that evening. The trip was worth it though because he was able to get a discontinued guitar from their used shop.

The same organization that holds Regionals to eliminate a very small number of bands before moving on to Semi-State when they could just have a 21-23 band single qualifier? You expect THEM to figure out SEATING issues? Yes, I know the arguments for why the extra round is valuable, but there are better ways to get that extra set of evaluation and critique without holding a competition to pare down from 11 bands from an area to 10 from that area.

But when am I supposed to run to the bathroom ISSMA? WHEN?! Look away while I pee in my Colts souvie cup..... There are some high quality adult incontinence products that you could use. Don't bother with the national brands - the store brands at Target, CVS, and Walgreens are just as good. Note: I do not speak from experience using the products but rather from the perspective of working in the industry My recommendation of the above options do not reflect any official endorsement.
Yes, I am required by business ethics policy to include the italicized and bolded statement.

By no means am I defender of ISSMA, but the situation you are referencing is a very recent and likely Covid related occurrence. If it remains the norm for a couple more years, then you talk about a revamp.

From what I understand, there's a lot of new blood in Indiana, enough to outnumber those that prefer things as is. At this point, it's really dependent on Mick Bridgewater whether to initiate those changes.

It may be "new" in the smaller classes, but Class A hasn't needed three rounds since before I moved into the state in 2015.

That problem is not solved by ending regionals, but by creating a 5th class.

My boss marched in Indiana back in the early/mid 90s. He told me the reason semi-state was introduced was because the majority of the better bands would be at one regional which would mean state would not actually have the top ten bands in the state.

True, the current semi-state design was to ensure all the best bands went head to head to send the ten best to state. However, the amount of bands in each class eliminating 0-3 bands at regionals makes having regionals a waste of money and time. Since the creation of the scholastic competition the number of bands in open has shrunk. This has only been exaggerated by covid. Either, a new progression of open competition needs to be done to eliminate regionals, or stricter regulations on who can be in scholastic competition needs to be done to bring more bands back to open class. Personally, I think the top 5 bands in both scholastic classes from the scholastic prelims should be required to compete in open regionals the next week. If they qualify for open semi-state then they don't do scholastic finals. If they don't qualify for open semi-state, then they return for scholastic finals. Just my opinion..... to many good bands hiding in scholastic.

Until 1983, ISSMA finals was a two show affair. Everyone advancing from regionals with a top rating would do a prelim show and then the top 5 performed at night.
From then until Semistate emerged, it was the top 5 from the North regional and top 5 from the South regional to go to State. For Class A, some years it was the North that was more competitve. Other years it was the South. But more increaslingly over time, the South region became stronger for Class A as schools around Indy grew at a rapid pace as did their tax base and average incomes.
In my era (mid to late 80s) regionals were fairly balanced still as the Ft. Wayne bands were still strong in Class A. This was more so in the early 80s when my sister marched as Chesterton, Northrop, Northside, and Laffayette Jeff were all bigs. Anderson Highland, Snider and Lake Central somtimes making strong noise too.
I remember the hubbub the first year Carmel was sent to the North as a means to 'balance' the fact that there were already 5 strong programs in the South region and some of the smaller A bands were complaining about not even having a shot at finals. In the North it was "oh ISSMA is looking for a way to stack finals with more Indy bands!" Such is the politics of ISSMA and bandfandom!
By 1988 the epicenter of Indiana bands began to shift toward Indianpolis more as Ben Davis was in their run of dominance, Carmel, Center Grove, and Lawrence North, and Lawrence Central were hitting the scene.
In 1992, Homestead made the jump to A an won it all.
By the late 90's the other Ft. Wayne bigs had devolved as the school district changed funding priorities and the money moved to different parts of town. Anderson bands had a similar path, and Laffeyette Jeff as well. Eventually Northside became a B band and Northrop and Snider became Scholastic. Chesterton had long dropped from the top and the number of bands around Indy that were typically placed in the South regional meant significant imbalance with sometimes the 4/5 bands from the North being in finals when there was a strong feeling that the 6/7 bands from the South were better depsite the 'different shows, different panels' argument.

And yeah, I'd love to pay on person for them but alas, it is what it is. I think I just needed to do some small venting haha. Plus I'm slightly spoiled in regards to not often having to buy tickets to an event so there's that too. Sweetwater is a great store too! Glad y'all enjoyed it. Highly recommend for anyone that visits the area into music.

Okay everyone. I have a sad question to ask. I only went back to State Finals for the first time last year in quite a few years (busy with other things SA Super Regional, etc) but can not remember on whether or not we are allowed to bring in our own drinks (not the fun adult ones obviously) or snacks into the stadium as long as we still use the clear bag. Because boy am I going to need an energy drink at some point probably lol. I'm sure it is generally frowned upon of course, but i've just gotten so used to getting in with credentials for BOA that I tend to forget what it's like to be one of the peasantry...err...common folk...uhhh...salt of the earth? I kid of course but for those that went last year or regularly, just let me know so I can "plan" accordingly.

At super regionals this year, a few band parents said no staff looked too closely at what was in the clear bags and that food seemed to be a non-issue. The audio spiel that warns what is not allowed makes no mention of food or drinks. I had some snacks in our bag between some jackets. If the staff had felt around inside the bag, they would have probably felt them. But as other parents said they just slid the bag down the table without really looking too closely at what was in it

My past favorite in the items prohibited at Lucas Oil list was the specifically-mentioned vuvuzela. Now they just say horns. It’s fun to wonder what happened to make that change.

Nashville Predators fans use a dead cat fish thrown on the ice to get the crowd pumped up. I don't know how they get that thing smuggled into the arena, but it happens several times during the season. I've heard clear plastic wrap and duck tape is used big time!
