Several new groups have joined IDEA in the past few days.

In Division 1, we welcome Black Rain and Extreme Insanity. In Division 2, the Harvey Wallbangers, Aradia, Equilibrium, and PVD join IDEA. Finally, big red drumlins join us competing in Division 3.

I'm so excited to have all of these groups joining us in IDEA! How is every one doing this season?

not bad.. My drum line is the weakest out of all of my groups. The highest that Equilibrium has achieved is a silver medal at the season 36 division 3 championships. after that, it's been a struggle in div 2.

Your groups are still young. As they grow, you will do better! Just keep up the rehearsing and good work. I'm excited to see how you and the rest of our league does in finals this year.

I feel your struggle. I was so excited the one season that my Drumline made finals in Div. 1 even if we were like 8 points behind 1st.

Hello again IDEA

I'm glad to see that IDEA is growing again. This league has seen a huge influx in recruitment lately and it's reassuring to see that drumline leagues are expanding again instead of receding. IDEA is once again on the leader boards for most active members and is quickly catching up to ROYAL, which is a new and welcomed circumstance for us. Congratulations on your recent successes. In a way, had I known poaching was taboo and unacceptable, this sudden jump start into recruiting for IDEA might not have happened. So I'm glad I could be an indirect part in your league's recent expansion and I wish you all the luck in the world this season as the calendar advances into finals.

Your friend and hopefully not your enemy,

In other words, poaching paid dividends ... LOL !!!

Welcome to IDEA, The Marching Turtles and 18 Marchers. Be sure to read your welcome message! :)

IDEA hosted their championships for all three divisions on November 4th in at IDEA
Baltimore. It was an exciting event, made even more exciting by the growth of IDEA during this season.

In Division I, Extreme Insanity scored a 75.69 with their show "Outnumbered" which was good enough to take home the bronze medal. The silver medal went to Ivory Drums' "Bohemian Rhapsody" with a score of 78.25. Scoring 83.375 with their performance of "Dark of the Night" was the Death Eaters for first place at the IDEA finals. These were the highest scores of the night.

In Division II, Ares went unchallenged placing first with a score of 47.98.

Division III was perhaps the most interestingr and exciting of the night. Both the quantity and quality of drumlines were great. Less than 3 points separated 1st place and 5th place. The Chop Suey Cheeseburger Maniacs was awarded the bronze after performing "Invidious, Devious Dreams" scoring 55.455. The Titanic and their somewhat ironic performance titled "iceberg" brought home the silver with a score of 55.595. "A City in Ruins" and the 18 Marchers were the Division III champions scoring 56.165.

Congratulations to all IDEA drumlines on a great season 38. Best of luck to everyone in the FMA Championships.

My contest is on December 11th! Be sure to bring your drumlines!

I'll have the drumline contests up in just about an hour or so. If you are hosting a show let me know and I can add it to the calender as well.

I would do it now, but unfortunately my work formats the website really funny so it causes issues.

Good news the league shows are now up so go and sign up for them. Don't forget to post on here if you are hosting a show so I can add it to the list as well.

Updated league announcements to reflect season 38 results.

Looking forward to a great season 39! If you haven't joined the league events, please do so! :)

Sunday is our first league competition remember to put in all your points.

Let's welcome Duracell and Harvey Wallbangers as our two newest members.

Also if you are interested in being a Board member let me know.

Board Members are key members of the league that assist with recruiting as well as updating the announcements.

If you have any ideas as to how we can make the league more fun just post away. I've been toying with a few ideas that I'll test out later this season.

Ooooo interested in hearing your ideas for IDEA lol

Would any of the new test IDEA'S include adding experienced FMA members to the BOD by chance ???

Lol I don't understand why you are so desperately wanting to be on any BOD. To me honestly, I would want someone who has committed to the league, is an active participant in the league to show me that they want to help further the league by being on the BOD, not someone who wants the title.

Best of luck to all of our drumlines competing in IDEA Toronto tonight! :)

Thank you, Mrs.Romo..
