Wow, we're about to start week 3. Is it just me or is season 40 blowing by very quickly? I've been checking out the statistics page seeing where everyone currently stands.
I'm very impressed with The Arsenal D&BC. Right now they have the 23rd highest score in their division, 75.040, which is really good for division 1. I'm curious how far they will go this season. Aftershock NZ is also scoring in the low 70's. With about 3 weeks left in the season, there is definitely enough time to improve. It seems as if the other division 1 corps are fundraising. Maybe some of them will come out strong next season ;-)
7 of our division 2 corps are in the top 30. Aftershock NZ B is the front runner for FAME currently with the 6th highest score in division 2. I know they're hungry for a medal. Thunderbirds are currently 9th and the Panthers are 13th. The Commonwealth Crusaders are 18th, Marching Hawks are 23rd, and Colonial Regiment and Shadow Regiment are neck n neck in 29th and 30th place. It's way too early to call anything. I hope to see more FAME corps at division 2 finals.
9 corps are top 30 in the division 3 circuit with 4 of them already in the top 12: Saboteurs (3rd), Kansas City Krown (4th), Falcon Regiment (8th), Eagle Corps (9th). For most of them, this is their first full season on FMA. It's so cool to see them gaining experience and already doing so well.
I'm proud of all of you! I understnd that sometimes it can be difficult to rehearse every 5 - 6 hours, but to those who are actually competing this season, try to make the most out of every little bit of energy for the next 3 weeks. I'd like to have an outstanding showing of FAME corps in finals this season.
