Season 80 is here! Hopefully no more typos in my titles this season lol

Coming back after a long break, hoping to medal this season!

Hello everyone!!!!! Sorry i have band camp today! Ill be gettong to my invitationals and shows today at lunch!!! Sorry everyone! Hope all have a great bandcamp!

Let me know if you need help setting up the ENCORE season

Masters of FMA events are now up! My apologies for not getting them up sooner. I had band camp today and this is the first time I was able to be on my computer.

Sorry everyone!!!! Events are all up! Colorguard and Drumline events included!! Sorry it was a long first day of band camp.. how is everyone else going?

(Our school starts next Wednesday and there isnt even a parking lot finished!

We started band camp last week, it's been very hot down here in Texas but we're pushing through it!

I’m gonna have a rough FMA start for this season. Right in the middle of band camp. However, had a successful season 79! My division 3% marching band got their first medal! 3rd place in finals! Woohoo!

I don't know how I will do, I'm going on an Alaskan cruise in the middle of the season and won't have any internet for a week.

Your phone should still work when you're in port unless you go into Canada.

So, I noticed on the schedule that Drum Corps Global is officially disbanding after many active years. This both concerns and terrifies me. As I am sure that other leagues are struggling with inactivity... I myself have been fairly inactive the past few weeks... I would hope that people know they are always welcome to ENCORE! and our affiliate leagues. I only recently had the pleasure to take over administrative directions of these leagues and we are trying to be far more active. Please try this is your own leagues and we can hope some will become more lively! Recruit at your schools! In your own bands! Many kids ask me about marching band games and none know of this! We must advertise this more!


On a less depressing yet still saddening note- we are halfway through band camp here at New Prairie... and I just realized it’s my last one. Sometime this year, hopefully at state finals, I’m gonna step off for the last time with this ensemble and play that Alma Mater... which today as I heard it all the memories of five years came back to me... and play for the last time with New Prairie Bands, this band that has been my life for five years. How can it be possible that 5 years have passed?

Even though I'd never been in DCG, I'm here to pay my respects for the active members who moved or switch into another league.

@scooter92011 I'm actually from Canada, so the only port I'll be able to use my phone in is Victoria

It is too bad. While CLASS is the original and longterm dominant league, it's always more fun when there are other leagues giving us a real challenge. Its funny seeing a NEC because the North-East Conference was actually the first league I was part of before leagues existed the way they do today and that's what ultimately became CLASS early on. League competition is usually healthy for both leagues and CLASS membership actually pursued the formal formation of leagues for this very purpose and it changed the game.

I'll be campaigning and raising money and influence this season. lets hope for the best :)

Stampede which cruise line? Most cruise lines now offer a "not so expensive" internet plan on board that allows for text, email and browse service. Just no streaming.

Ahhh, didn't think about that Stamp.

The line is Norwegian, but I think it might be nice just to take a little break.

Also, I do not understand how my guard is still in Div II when I scored high enough I could've medalled in Div I last season

Lack of participation is probably why you are still in D2

Nice Stampede! Bliss or Joy? I went on the Bliss back in November to the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.
