Twas the day of issma finals and all through the state,
Kids and parents were ready for the date.
Cass will honor the man from whom they were directed,
And parks magnum opus is carefully perfected.
Paoli's phoenix burns as bright as the sun,
While Eastside's firebird is just there to have fun.
While south spencer is getting their piano in tune,
Southridge is playing a classical etude.
Springs valley is going to sink the putt under,
And mater dei will leave the crowd in awestruck wonder.
Monrovia will find their city and power,
And Adams Central will show their hope, strength, and honor.
In the end their is only one winner, but non will have lost,
Because we will all bring back memories from old LOS.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL CLASS D!!!

So im new to semi-state, being my first time and all, so how does the performance line-up get set up? Is it a draw like regionals or is it based on distance to travel?

Im brinnging back an old topic from 2008 so after week one tommorow tell me who had the most shocking or surprising show of the day?

What funny or strange phrases have you heard over the years from band mates, fans, your director, or staff? (Please don't give specfic names other than band mates, fans, ect.)

For example: yeah that's music, there you go.
