Well, Silver Falcons took 9th place in Div I last season and we are going to be pushing hard to improve further on that mark! I think the submissions help the very top because in the past if someone managed not to miss a single submission per four hours they could shoot higher up the board. Now, the potential is not there as much to make up for lack of staff by more submissions. But we will be trying anyway =)

For my part, as far as saying the new cap helps or hurts I did support it. However you cant say it helped or hurt nemesis in any way. In reality nemesis was a non-competitor this season by my design to both generate some excitement, CHECK and let me focus on work issues, half check lol my plan is to bounce back this season and the extra hours to do so likely WILL help me as I cant dedicate to this like I have in previous seasons. So do I still support it, sure. Does Cire have a point, COMPLETELY. did it also help others take a leap up, obviously. Do we need to think of a new twist? Mmmhhhmmm

Final, it will help.. but you TrumpetVinny's balls are probably up to the ceiling by now.. so you'll probably need another 50k on top of that

Look what I've started, ball puns and references, bwahaha. The things I do when it's not my time to teach the class.

I definitely feel that I will be starting this season a tad more rough than normal because of the move so even with the 6 hours, I still end up missing 2 or 3 hours! Darn you packing!

A good way to look at your ball up the wall-ness is the look at [unspecified]. Chris's groups have been maxed out longer then mine (we had the same money making strategy at the beginning. I stopped, he didn't.). He hasn't competed hardcore in a while. You can see what raw staff can do for you from that.

I'm not sure when exactly I hit the 20's. I think S14. I was on constant 15 money campaigns the whole time. They were on 60's during tour and for like the first few seasons. Plus I git money from shows.

Lol dead last in Div I after the first shows. But that's typically how my playing style has been since I started. Low at the beginning due to lack of influence and slowly clawing up to where I can be competitive.

Finally got my staff up into the teens for the most part. Hosting competitions has really been the difference, wish I had started that earlier.

I put the challenge levels to the max this season... I hope it turns out well for Atlantic CC as well as the other three. Leveling up staff is also what I'm doing too.

With the DCI tour about to hit up, I'm going inactive till August after tomorrow, so if you do this again, count Atlantic Clarinet Choir, as well as the rest of my groups if you do that too, out until August. I'll be back after DCI Finals.
