Hey all. Sorry about the absence the past week or so. I was working with a high school band all week and didn't have much time to write anything other than rewrites for the show music. I will have an update on Monday to get everybody prepared for Finals Week(season definitely went by quickly).
Just a reminder, if you haven't already I definitely encourage you to join one of the Drum Corps Combines. There are a lot of good things going on that will add a lot to the experience of having an FMA Corps.
The list of the Combines and the states that fit into the specific regions:
Gulf Coast/South East - Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, /Kentucky, The Carolinas, Tennessee
North East - The Virginias, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island
Mid West - Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, The Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa
West - Alaska, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho
Assuming I am still writing the Drum Corps updates next season, I will be doing Combine specific updates including rankings and show breakdowns. It should be a lot of fun getting this started and possibly getting more in-depth with the experience of running a corps on FMA.
