Also, there are two events at San Angelo Stadium. I lost my connection and submitted it twice. It'll be interesting to see who chooses which event :)

There is no FAME in the D1 top 12 this season? What's going on? :) That's unusual. Is this the end of FAME? Nobody is chatting, either. I'm glad that we still have active members in our league events, but I can't do most everything on my own. Where are my board of directors? Wake up guys!

I can help with being a BoD if you need active ones. Same with ENCORE.
A lot of us are very busy around this time of year. Give it time, these threads will start thriving again.

I haven't posted in a while on my part, I understand communication is key, even if it's just a few words, I myself don't do this as much as I should (in anything really).

So, status update: I'm here, and, there and, other places, I've been doing a lot of traveling and music stuff.
In light of my music travels I've been on an FMA fundraising spree, past few seasons, checking in whenever I had wifi.

Long story short, Tis the season of gig-ing, Still here. Go team. Almost 2017. Leggo.

MOONINITES!!! YES!!! (how did I not notice that before?)

I think I can step up too, if you need me to for BoD, my next semester in the college is going to be pretty easy, so I'll be doing more rehearsing, especially during the break, give or take a few hours of sleep and videogames, and, well, homework too I guess, suprisingly I didn't have a lot this past semester, just a bunch of things at school.

Thank you for checking in and responding :) I don't expect everyone to play every season. Heck, the past few seasons, I haven't even been playing much. I just want to make sure that everyone is okay. Some of you have been MIA for almost the entire year. Some sign on but don't really rehearse. Are there any issues we should discuss? How can I increase activity? I love our friends over at CLASS but we can't let them have everything (lol).

Here's something interesting (interesting to me, at least). Season 58 is FAME's 20th anniversary. I can hardly believe that it's been that long, and still, our league is alive and active. I will spend the rest of the season working on some ideas for how to celebrate it. Please feel free to contribute your ideas.

Next season, we will be running two tours, 1 starting in the west and the other starting in the east. Both tours will meet for the championship event. PLEASE only choose 1 tour for the entire season.

There will be two events on each of our regular-scheduled days (opening day, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday), and I will have the events labeled FAME - Tour 1 (or Tour 2). The location of the events will be in the description. The events will only host 15 groups; with two events on 1 day, that equals 30 groups like a normal tier 6 event. Ideally we will have 15 groups starting in the west and 15 groups starting in the east.

If you choose tour 1 for opening day, you should do tour 1 for the entire season. I'll try to track which tour you choose to keep everyone on the correct path ;)

Is everyone on board with this idea? Do you have any comments and/or suggestions?
Credit for this idea goes to echstrumpet8 (Bailey Knight).

P.S Season 58 is FAME's 20th anniversary. I'd like to see everyone on board.
