Again, these are totally subjective (and just for fun!) and also very likely to be wrong the day of the competition; ISSMA State Finals usually has plenty of surprises and this year has some very close matchups. These are just based on what I know of this year's Indiana Circuit, and it's important to know that this is not a knock on any of these groups, as every single one of them is FANTASTIC this year, and I'm so excited to see these shows for the last time this year!
