Subject:      z-scores

I have 250 marching bands' scores from 10 different states.  All scores are
based on 100 points and are similar in format, but when I run an ANOVA to
compare the means, they show statistical differences among them.  Would it
be valid and/or reliable to convert the scores to z-scores for each state
to make them comparable with one another?
 
Thanks
