IIEA or International Indoor Ensemble Association is an indoor combine specifically for Indoor groups in FMA of Middle School or High School level. It works similar to the Drum corps combine with a slight difference. New is the Open class, which includes collegiate and Drum Corps related ensembles
Divided into chapters, each chapter will have up to 4 members of each division. Division will have these titles: Novice, A, and World class. Chapters are determined by location, however at first they will probably expand long distances. The more people that join, the more chapters. There is no geographical area in which the IIEA uses. Scholastic classes are Middle/High School ensembles, (Examples being John Hughes H.S. Winter Guard or Kelly Audio Theatre, both share the name of the marching band, or have HS in the name) and Open are Drum Corps, collegiate ensembles. (Examples being Blue Demons Drum Line (Collegiate))
How it works:
Like the combines there are championships for each Chapter and then top half will go to finals.
Competitions will be hosted by members and then posted in this topic. It is suggested to host as many combine members as possible. A review of your competition will be written and then posted (somewhere, not sure yet). :)
Have any takers? This is for both Percussion and Guard.
Suggestions?
