In Division III, the Band of Cats earned the Championship, scoring a 62.970 with their crowd-pleasing spectacle "To The End". The Cats look like they'll also make a Finals appearance in FMA. Euph Esprit de Corps finished in seconds, with ELHS 2 rounding out the medal stand.

League Commissioner cawheat said, "We had a nice year in ISMA. Although many of our bands were focused on development and fund-raising, we were still able to put on a great show for the fans. And some of our bands will carry the ISMA banner and make some noise in this weekend's FMA Finals."
