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. Are kazoos horns? Asking for a friend.

No predictons yet? Or do the semistate groupings make it a bit anticlimatic?
1. Avon 2. Carmel 3. Fishers 4. Brownsburg 5. Castle 6. Goshen 7. Homestead 8. Center Grove 9. Carroll 10. Lawrence Twp
No surprises here. I think Avon's slot gives them an edge over Carmel. That opening spot does no band any favors and Avon will get a bump by following a strong group like Fishers. I would probably pick Avon regardless of the order but this seals it for me. Carroll and Center Grove back to back will give these two a fair comparison and I think it'll be CG on top there, although Carroll moving up would not surprise me. Homestead and Goshen would seem a possible shift from Semistate and Homestead gets the later performance slot, but following the pair of Fishers and Avon isn't any prize position for Homestead. I think Goshen being cleaner will be the difference there. Fishers and Brownsburg are the really interesting pair. I don't think either has a particularly better performance slot than the other beyond Fishers being a bit later a bit later. But I don't think that in itself will tip the scales. I think Fishers will prevail between these two on Saturday, and next week as well.

Carmel will have to pull off a truly tremendous run in that first time slot in order to beat Avon.

I'm hoping they can match last year's 4th place, but based on comments here, it doesn't seem likely.

Prediction for Class B.
Something goofy will happen and a bunch of people will whine and complain online until their director tells them to knock off and they delete their posts. (I am looking at you INBands.com forum)
My best guess is Northview and Concord falling off their spots from semi-state and Greenwood and Greenfield moving up considerably.
1. Jasper 2. EV North 3. Greenwood/Greenfield 4. Greenwood/Greenfield 5 Northview 6 Pendleton 7. Concord 8. FJ Reitz 9. Munster 10. Northside

A bit like all those years Homestead slotted obviously inti 3rd. I’ll be surprised if Castle finishes anywhere but 5th.

It was stated before that there will be no clear bag policy in effect for this event. I can confirm as the LOS does say this. So I just bought one for nothing lmao. Oh well, still good to have for if I go to a sad sad Colts football game lol. Here are all the LOS times, rules, etc laid out by them. www.lucasoilstadium.com/event/issma-marching-bands-finals/

Will state finals be live-streamed? I don’t remember it being live-streamed in the past but I’m just curious since I’m unable to attend in person.

Yet. Though rumors are starting to float around that may change in the future..... The fact I was able to record our show at both district and semi-state (with the 'video' credential) was a giant leap from when Joe Poio threatened me with jail time for trying to record semi-state back around 2012! SO hopefully new leadership will bring in some more up to date policies with these sorts of things.

I'm hoping they can match last year's 4th place, but based on comments here, it doesn't seem likely. Not out of the question at all, really. At Semi-State last week, Castle trimmed a point off the spread between them, Fishers and Brownsburg from both Regionals and Indy Super. Ind Music, Ensemble and Music GE captions are quite close amongst all three. With almost 100 Freshmen this year, Castle is still improving and maturing. If there is a surprise in Class A it may be 4-5. Good luck to everyone tomorrow and go Team Indiana!

For anyone still coming to the stadium, I had no issues getting my bags in but seating is certainly filling up as we already have several A and B parents here. Get your seat early! I'll be on the 50 in 440 if anyone wants to say hi! I'll have on a GEM Jersey and lanyard. 🙂

Which is a huge head scratcher as well. Surely someone with a phone on the field could do it. It is what it is right now and I'm trying to get y'all results asap. Promise. That said, Class B has just wrapped up and the bands are coming onto the field now. There were tons of excellent performances once again and this personal ranking of mine is sure to be a HOT mess. But this is just how I see it. All of these shows were unique, had their own strengths and weaknesses, and it's easy to see why these bands have been so close to each other all season. Truly a season where I wouldn't be surprised if a band placed 1st or 5th. These were all great shows and I thank all of them for putting in the work for my personal enjoyment lol 1. Jasper 2. Evansville North 3. Concord 4. Greenwood 5. Northview 6. Greenfield-Central 7. Pendleton Heights 8. FJ Reitz 9. North Side 10. Munster I try to keep personal preference to a minimum on all my rankings and be as objective as I can be. But some bias will always creep in heh

This is the same Jasper that scored 8th with both Music GE judges at Indy Super! They'll be bound for great things in the near future!
Congrats to Jasper!

Class D is all wrapped up and bands are about to take the field! Let's take a moment to appreciate how the smaller school music programs were arguably hit the hardest by Covid and it still shows as these were the smallest I've ever seen for many of these groups. They have the longest road to recovery. So let's keep cheering on those that have fought through the adversity. That said, my rankings. With a VERY HOT take. But hey, these are for fun and just my opinion 1. Mater Dei 2. Lewis Cass 3. Paoli 4. Forest Park 5. Springs Valley 6. Orleans 7. Monrovia 8. Woodlan 9. Adams Central 10. Southridge

A quick personal note. Before any awards are announced, a huge shout-out to Homestead. Homer hat off, this is one of the best performing ensembles they have ever put out. No placement or score can define or equate to the growth this group of performers have made in the wake of covid. Terrific run tonight and I know you've got another level in you for next week! There is no finish line. We, and myself included in there, believe!
That said, here are my rankings! 1. Avon 2. Carmel 3. Fishers 4. Brownsburg 5. Castle 6. Goshen 7. Homestead 8. Center Grove 9. Carroll 10. MPLT
Hmm....this looks a bit familiar....
