Last night wrapped up the IIEA season with the International Indoor Ensemble Association Finals for both the indoor percussion circuit and the indoor colorguard circuit. The finals competition was made up of 13 member ensembles, and did not include all IIEA members this season. We are hoping that next season we will have all members participating! Without further ado, let's begin with the indoor percussion results!

Both of these groups currently occupy spots in the top 10 in Division I FMA. Red Raiders, a group that did not compete yesterday, has the 12th place spot. This class was the most competitive for a few weeks with the three groups neck and neck. Taking gold and silver yesterday and overall in their class, these groups look to represent the IIEA well tomorrow night at Prelims.
We wish the best of luck to all ensembles competing in the FMA Prelims tomorrow and wish them all the best! Stay tuned for the Colorguard final results later tonight!
