On the heels of their Bands of America Super Regional win, the Avon Marching Black and Gold once again took the top spot in Open Class A, just like they did one year ago, while the Carmel Marching Greyhounds took the runner-up spot once again.
In Open Class B, the Greenfield-Central Cougar Pride took home the title, while Greenwood tied with Evansville North for second place.
