The Lewis Cass High School Marching Kings, the reigning ISSMA Open Class D State Champions, are set to conclude their competition season this Saturday as they vie for the state title at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The band’s highly creative 2025 production, “Think and Wonder, Wonder and Think,” draws inspiration from the boundless imagination of Dr. Seuss, promising a vibrant and memorable performance.

The Lewis Cass Marching Kings, under the direction of Alan Hinshaw & Dylan Humburg, will perform their original show, featuring music by Don Barrett and show design by Jack Pursifull, in the final competition of the season against the state’s top ten bands in their class.

A Record of Excellence
The Lewis Cass Marching Kings continue to represent the pinnacle of high school band excellence in Indiana:
