I see a friendly little rivalry developing. Last season DIII, this season DII. Never saw my drumline achieving at this level when divisions were announced. At this rate, Black Beat NZ, Beatboxers, and Cymbalism will have their friendly little battles next season in DI. Ha, hope it's not as easy to get there as DII was. Don't think it's our year to take on Ivory Drums for the title, though we are gunning for an eye opening top 5 finish.

It looks like you will beat us this season. I agree about division 1. Fundraising will be in order if I jump another division next season.

What the..? I just noticed, Kiwi, that our drum corps are both doing Bat Out of Hell. (face palm) Either great minds think alike or you're trying to show me up!! :)

Kiwidrummer I had no idea we were rivals but now that I know I'm gunning for you (-8 jK - well, kinda kidding. Beatboxers beat me by .24 last season. Paybacks are a beyotch :P I'm really not as arrogant as I might seem.

Yeah, still don't agree with divisions this year. Would be in 2nd DIII, still out by 4 with current scores. I'll take 8th for now, only getting better.
Yes, looks that way FF, for now. You and ALM (AlanLovesMe) had me on your tails all year last season. TBH, I made a very rookie mistake during preseason this year. Spent all my money on staff, completely forgot scheduling my shows. I feel it's important to keep my groups on the court, so did the supporter pack route as an instant fundraiser. I see a lot of groups take a few seasons off to fundraise, increase stat pts, Me, I'm old school, the hard way. Earn my money from shows, my stat pts from practice. I place more value on exposure and consistancy.
Hey Austin, yes, BOoH has been a longtime dream of mine to put on the field. Here is a sample of a percussion rehearsal for ya...

Ah, I see, Flamtastic, though different league, are still in our "DIII Graduating Class", always competitive with us....yeah, you're part of this friendly little rivalry.
ALM, hahaha. Nothing wrong with arrogance, as long as it can be backed up. BRING IT!! Yes, you and Beatboxers were always close last season, me, a couple behind. We can only bring each other's performance levels up, so yeah. Let the fun continue...

I'll be damned...Black Beat NZ, Beatboxers, and Cymbalism...8th, 9th, and 10th, with Flamtastic in 12th in standings right now, all within a point of each other. Turn up the heat! We all will be good if we keep up the practices for a top 12 finish. I wonder how much challenge levels come into play in the scoring, especially later in the season as shows get cleaner. At present rate, you guys will pass me based on the gap getting tighter and tighter.

Hey Austin, you should consider bringing Flamtastic over to MDL-LC. Nothing like a tight pack to keep us on our toes.

As much as I like the league competitions, I also like the exposure of head to head inter-league competitions also.

(evil grin) 0.015 ahead of you, Fantasy.

Oh...my fault. Yes, Cymbalism in 9th, Beatboxers 10th.

Now you can throw the friendly rivalry out the window. Things just got serious. ALM, game on. Just messin with you, but seriously, go ahead and miss a couple of rehearsals. I won't mind ;-)

The only league competitions that I care about are the league championships (just for bragging rights) Most league events are just filler for me in case I am declined for regular season shows. You don't get trophies for league events.

We'll have to work on a larger championship next season. Only 5 spots this year and Cymbalism isn't in there. Not a true representation.

I've been missing about one rehearsal a day, due to my eyelids not wanting to open in the middle of the night. Will have to work on that, letting you guys catch up too fast.

Looks like it's on again for season 38.
