The Indiana Marching Band State Finals are a competition for marching bands governed by the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA).
Before 2008, for a band to make it to state finals in its class, they must first get a gold rating at a District competition and move on to a Regional competition. There is a north and south regional competition for each class. Of the bands that have made it this far, the five top scoring bands from the north and south will move on to State Finals at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana, making a total of ten bands in each class. For the 2008 marching season and beyond, ISSMA has approved a semi-state competition. The top ten bands from each regional will now advance to semi-state. These twenty bands from each class will come to one location to compete. The top ten bands from this competition will then advance to state finals. Class A is the largest schools, while Class D is the smallest schools. Lewis Cass (Walton) holds the record for most state finals appearances with 26 consecutive (1981-2007), . The class D band, Pride of Paoli (Paoli) is the record holder for state championships with 15.
