List of ISSMA Marching Band finalists

This is a list of ISSMA Marching Band finalists grouped by class entered. The Indiana State School Music Association, Inc. (ISSMA) is a scholastic music association, with a mission to provide educationally evaluated music performance activities for the students and teachers of the state of Indiana. ISSMA sponsors, among other events, the Marching Band festivals and competitions leading to the ISSMA Band State Finals. State Finals used to take place at the RCA Dome until 2008, when the location changed to Lucas Oil Stadium and has taken place there since then. Ten bands out of twenty are selected from a Semi State site to compete for the State Champion title. In 2015, eleven bands were chosen to advance to Class C State Finals when two bands tied for tenth place.
