Important Notes

ISSMA regional competition is the stepping stone to STATE finals. The top 10 bands from each site (north /south) must advance to SEMI-STATE at Ben Davis HS. Then those top 10 bands advance to State Finalist Lucas Oil Stadium on November 3.

Spectators are only allowed to enter the stands between bands and it’s important to enter and find a seat as quickly as possible. Please keep all comments positive in the stands, as other bands’ fans will be seated all around you! All the bands work very hard and are doing their very best. Stand and cheer for other performances! No shouting individual names or corny things. Keep it upbeat and encouraging for all (AKA classy not trashy)

Any sales or distribution of photos or videos from an ISSMA event distributed in a means other than from ISSMA official vendors is strictly prohibited.

Together, as the unified family of the 2018 Fishers High School Marching TIGER Band, we dedicate ourselves to build upon our firm foundation of excellence in music and motion through integrity, discipline, respect, and trust. We shall focus on the task at hand with a passionate sense of urgency by consistently giving our personal and collective best.

Through cooperation and perseverance, we will achieve unity, excellence, and lasting friendships, ultimately developing the skills necessary for success in band and in life.
