Southern Indiana’s Favorite Marching Band Revealed [Poll Results]

Celebrating Southern Indiana’s Marching Band Talent

Before I get to the poll results (I guess you could cheat, and just down to the bottom), I want to take a moment to celebrate every single one of the incredibly talented students in our local marching bands. These kids have been working their tails off since July - perfecting their 2025 shows to life - and that hard work is finally paying off.

For some bands, the season has wrapped up, but for others, the dream of a state championship is still very much alive! This weekend (October 25), several bands from our area will take the field at the ISSMA Open Semi-State, while others will be competing in the ISSMA Scholastic Class Finals (see the performance schedule below). We’re sending tons of love, support, and good vibes your way!
