At Indy Super, the group was solidly in the top half, earning fourth place in finals. That placement was behind Avon, Carmel, and Homestead, but ahead of several other great programs like Blue Springs and Castle.
At Grand Nats, Marian earned a finals spot after placing 11th in semifinals, not one of the groups tied for 12th. However, they did slip one spot to 12th in finals.
2015
Marian Catholic competed at the Indianapolis Super Regional and Grand National Championships.Marian placed third and won the music caption at the Indianapolis Super Regional, putting them firmly in a position to make Grand Nats finals, but only a fool would bet against Marian Catholic making finals.
At Grand Nats, they placed eighth overall, winning and sweeping caption in class AA. Just another year of band at Marian Catholic, where missing finals is a prediction no one would ever make.
2014
Marian Catholic competed at the Indianapolis Super Regional and Grand National Championships. They had incredible performances in every round of every competition and earned some incredible placements as well. They finished in a distant third behind Avon and Carmel at the Indy Super Regional, then finished tenth in finals at Grand Nats. It was crazy to see such a rapid change between Homestead and Marian Catholic placements at the two competitions. At Indianapolis, Marian Catholic beat Homestead by a point and a half. Then at Grand Nats, Homestead beat Marian Catholic by two full points. That's a difference of three and a half points in a just a couple of weeks.2013
This consistent Grand Nats finalist made finals yet again with "The War of Art" and their ninth place finish. However, this band has multiple national titles to its name and this year's placement was definitely an outlier compared with 2011 and 2012's fifth place finishes. This year was the first year in a long time that spectators were actually questioning Marian's chances of making finals after its disappointing 12th place finish in prelims at St. Louis. In typical Marian Catholic fashion, they cleaned up well before Grand Nats. The real question is, will they ever break their Grand National finalist streak?
