Joel if you would like to host next season you can. You just need to be able to host at least 20 units for each competition (drum corps, band, guard, percussion)

I think fewer eligible corps applied this season than ineligible so still some openings after finalists accepted

Thank you!

If I host Masters of FMA next season:

Masters of FMA Season 74
Will be held on CHRISTMAS DAY!
That is the Tuesday before the Championships. Is that good?

Masters are the Monday before finals, so Christmas Eve--League Championships are Tuesday

AWSOME... That can be done :)

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to historic New Carlisle, Indiana for the 40th Annual Masters of FMA Tournament! Founded for Season 34, the Masters has become a symbol of the upperclassmen of FMA. The best groups worldwide compete here and we are honored to host this, escpecially on Christmas Eve. No better place than New Carlisle to spend Christmas, with the Christmas Parade that morning as well as the amazing Christmas lights. All events are set up today inside of New Carlisle Marching Music Center due to the immense amounts of snow outside. Food will be served in the mess hall and at several concession stands throughout the building. Drum Corps performances will be set up in the field house following the Marching Band performances that morning. IPE events will be in the Main Gymnasium all day and Color Guards will be in the Auxilliary Gym. Come early for the New Carlisle Christmas Parade where all performing ensembles are invited to perform! Come and enjoy a special day of FMA’s Elite.

Sounds like it's going to be a great event!

Thank you! Hey could I ask something?

In my group descriptions, I list each season I was a finalist and my placement. Could people who apply for FMA Masters please do this? It make it easier for us who are hosting.

Still need many many many more applicants for the masters this year! Most I don’t have even enough to fill the slots if I accepted everyone! I need many more qualified applicants!

Alrighty... kind of a great lacking turn out in applicants and those qualified. Who will host next year?

I dont know what this is but I want in

If no one is willing to host, I will be willing to host if needed. But if anyone else would wish to hold it go ahead.

Preferably someone qualified.

Technically to host you don't need to be eligible to actually participate with your groups but you do need the financial ability to host 20 units in each of the 4 leagues

Yes financial, that is what I meant.

I would like to host at least once. Unfortunately I'm not in a good enough financial state at the moment...

Who is up for hosting next season? I would like to finalize before end of season

I’d rather not host two years in a row however if I have to I will.

You don't have to Joel, if no one else is up I'll take it

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
